NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In the past many of the undergraduates in College have regarded it as a duty to give a small amount of their time to boys' clubs, entertainments at settlement houses, or other similar activities. On the contrary it actually is an immense pleasure, that has been recognized by many of the leading men in College, to work with and develop these live American youths who are soon to be our governing citizens. Not only do the boys themselves derive immense benefit, but the undergraduate receives an insight into human nature that would otherwise be hard to obtain.

The Social Service Committee of Phillips Brooks House has been fortunate in securing Mayor Peters, of Boston, who is obviously well acquainted, with the merits of this work, as a speaker at its meeting tonight.
