THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

Harvard's quota of American Red Cross enrolments is due tonight. Thus far the amount collected has been surprisingly and disgracefully small. Possibly men do not fully realize that they are contributing to an American institution; that the service is primarily for this country; that in proportion to our population we have hitherto had the smallest Red Cross in the world, and that, in time of war, the Red Cross is as indispensible to an army as ammunition is for its guns. One cannot advocate preparedness and at the same time overlook the importance of the Red Cross.
