SUCCESSFUL CANVASS ENDED

The annual old clothes and text-book collection just completed by the Phillips Brooks House Association proved very successful according to the report of the chairman of the canvassing committee. Particular credit is due the Freshman collectors, who as a whole did better work than the upperclassmen.

The clothing which has been gathered will be distributed in the following manner; one case to the Italian War Relief Fund of America; one case to the Y. M. C. A. for the relief of destitute students in Switzerland; and the balance to The Cambridge Red Cross for shipment overseas. All of the military equipment will to turned over to the Morgan Memorial Institute, a large social service institution in Boston, which has offered to make over the uniforms into ordinary wearing apparel. The text-books will be placed in the Phillips Brooks House Loan Library, while the fiction works and magazines will be sent abroad to our soldiers and sailors.

The complete count of articles collected has been tabulated as follows:

Military equipment: Overcoats, 7; coats, 24; trousers, 17; shirts, 17; sailor suits, 6.
