This is the third of a series of articles describing the use of funds collected by the Harvard Service Fund drive which opens next Monday.

World Student Service Fund

The dollar wart undergraduate might regard the newest beneficiary of the Harvard Service Fund with suspicion as "another" relief organization. The World Service Student Fund is today the only educational organization. The World Service Student Fund is today the only educational organization which can work in every country in the world, including those now under axis domination.

Operating under the articles of the Geneva convention of 1929, it is the authorized channel for aid to student prisoners. In Germany alone 6,000,000 men are in prison camps, British, Belgian, French, Polish Serblan soldiers. The WSSF is one of the major organizations working to provide them with food an recreational facilities, but it is the only organization which is allowed to send teachers into the prison camps, and set up educational programs.

In countries which have had large areas conquered by the enemy, such as Russia and China the dislocation of educational facilities has been immense. In China 75 per cent of students are on relief, and in Russia 640,000 students have been dispossessed from almost two thousand universities, now in Nazi hands.

American civilians and soldiers taken prisoners by the Japanese are now receiving books from the WSSF. The fact remains, however, that few students in the world are in a position to contribute except in America. Generalissimo Chiang Kal-Shek recently praised American students contributions, "This shows that young Americans are keenly alive to the significance of our resistance against aggression, and the part which students are playing and will play."
