A battery of photographers, stenographers, and military intelligence officers will be on hand Monday night at 7 o'clock in Cabot Hall, Radcliffe, to recruit Harvard and Radcliffe volunteers for confidential work in the First Fighter Command.
Characterized by General Hugh Drum, commander of the Second Army, as "the most important work that a civilian can do" the work will release soldiers who are badly needed in other vital work. Over 100 Harvard students and a great number of faculty have already volunteered for the interceptor jobs, and fifty Radcliffe girls are also enrolled.
