P. B. H. DRIVE CLOSES WITH $3500 IN CASH

The Phillips Brooks House Association closed its annual drive last night at 7 o'clock with a total cash collection amounting to $3500.

An additional $1000 is pledged every year by the Graduate Schools Society of the Phillips Brooks House Association, the amount to be collected from the students of the Graduate Schools. The remaining $500 will be raised by means of a clean-up drive which will be held tomorrow and Friday.

The Association has announced that the drive was eminently successful and it feels confident that the clean-up campaign will raise sufficient funds to swell the total to the original goal of $5000.

The money is used to defray the expenses of the activities of the Phillips Brooks House Association. It will cover the expenses of the social service work, next summer's daily Bible class for Cambridge children, the Information Bureau, the Freshman Bible, the Class Day spread, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas entertainments for men who are unable to get home for the holidays. It will also provide for Christmas presents for the poor families in Cambridge and the Loan-Library. It will enable the Association to give free legal advice in Boston and Cambridge, to maintain one teacher at Robert College, Constantinople, and two graduates at the Beirut Mission in Syria.

None of the money raised in the drive goes to defray the actual expenses of Phillips Brooks House such as salaries and office expenses. All these are provided for under an endowment fund.
