8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports

REPORTS INDICATE $6400 SUBSCRIBED TO HOOVER DRIVE

OFFICE HOURS TO BE KEPT THIS EVENING FROM 7 TO 8

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Last night by 10.30 the Hoover Drive Committee had heard from 39 out of the 42 dormitories canvassed and had taken in $6398.73 in all. This doubles the amount reported Tuesday and when the graduate reports are completely tabulated the totals will be considerably higher. The drive officially closed at this time, but the committee finds that it will take a day at least to straighten out the accounts so they plan to have the office in the Crimson Building open again tonight from 7 till 8.

This is necesary chiefly on account of the slowness of the reports from the canvassers of the districts outside the dormitories. This job is of course much harder than that in the dormitories and the graduate students who are canvassing these destricts find it very hard to get to see all the men because they are so scattered throughout various buildings. On account of the difficulties in the way of these collectors, it has been decided to keep the office in Phillips Brooks House open today from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. and from 9 to 12 tomorrow. Though this is primarily for the district canvassers, it does not mean that other men can not leave their subscriptions there too.

The chairmen from the following dormitories have not reported up to date: Craigie Hall, 34 Dunster street, and 5 and 7 Linden street, and they should do so without fail between 7 and 8 tonight at the Crimson Building.

The following figures show the percent of those seen in each dormitory who have subscribed this time.

Apley, 100 percent; Andover, 69 percent; Apthrop, 53 percent; 9 Bow St., 100 percent; Claverly, 87 percent; conant, 42 percent; Dunster, 92 percent; Divinity, 78 percent; Dana Chambers, 74 percent; Drayton, 57 percent; 54 Dunster, 63 percent; Fairfax, 40 percent; Gannett, 92 percent; Gore, 56 percent; Grays, 24 percent; Hollis, 37 percent; 2 Holyoke St., 45 percent; 6 and 12 Holyoke St., 50 percent; Holyoke House, 50 percent; Holworthy, 76 percent; Lowell House, 69 percent; 68 and 77 Mt. Auburn, 57 percent; Perkins, 39 percent; Randolph, 82 percent; Ridgely Annex, 50 percent; Russel Hall, 90 percent; Russel Annex, 50 percent; Standish, 78 percent; Smith, 64 percent; Shepard, 58 percent; Stoughton, 95 percent; Thayer, 71 percent; Walter Hastings, 71 percent; Weld, 50 percent; Westmorley, 68 percent.

In practically every dormitory there were several men who had already subsevribed all that they were able to before the drive started at Harvard so that in many cases low percentages merely indicate that the men in these dormitories subscribed earlier than the rest.
