Student Volunteer Committee.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In the Student Volunteer Committee this year there are between fifteen and twenty men, who have been elected from the different classes. The purpose of the committee is to act as a medium between students who wish to do charitable work, and settlements in Boston where such work needs to be done. Mr. Robert A. Woods has been engaged by the committee to consult with men wishing to do philanthropic work and to direct them where they had best direct their efforts.

A second useful sphere of the committee's activity is the collecting of old clothes among the students in December and April, and dispensing them among the needy all over the country. The quarters of the committee are in Brooks House. Its officers are: Chairman, Professor J. H. Ropes; secretary, D. F. Drake '00; treasurer, E. C. Stern '01; director, Robert A. Woods.
