PHILLIPS BROOKS HOUSE.

Today marks the close of the annual campaign to secure contributions for Phillips Brooks House. Although the collection has been fairly successful so far, much remains to be done. In place of the usual social service work, this institution will act as a Y. M. C. A. for the training corps. Its building is not only well equipped with writing and reading rooms, but it is also the best and most convenient place for students to meet and receive their families or friends. Those who camped at Barre in 1917 as well as those who were quartered in Smith Hall barracks last summer remember the generous distribution of note paper, and the helpful services of Mr. Beane. As Phillips Brooks House has already had much experience both in managing a hut for the Naval Radio School, and in furnishing recreation and rest for the R. O. T. C. camps, it stands ready--to assist members of the new units.

As in past years, this institution depends for its finances on voluntary subscriptions. Since few civilian students are in College, and since, most of the service will be for the S. A. T. C., it is very proper that men in the corps do their share to make the services as large and efficient as possible. A Liberty Loan campaign is an unfortunate coincidence, but not harmful to either. If a person has the money for the former he surely has enough also to contribute to the latter. Those who cannot buy a bond, however, ought surely to make some small sacrifice in order to gain the benefits of a capable Y. M. C. A. For the sake of Phillips Brooks House, and for the improvement of the S. A. T. C. contribute your share.
