COMMITTEE OF 31 EVOLVES NEW SOCIAL SERVICE PLAN

B. F. RICE-BASSETT '25 HEADS COMMITTEE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An entirely new method of organizing the personnel for the various social service activities undertaken each year by the Phillips Brooks House Association was inaugurated yesterday at a meeting of the newly appointed Special Committee of 31 members, headed by B. F. Rice-Bassett '25.

In former years Phillips Brooks House has made but a vague impersonal canvass of the Freshman class to determine what members of the class are willing to undertake settlement work during the year. Actual enrollment, however, has always been left largely to the imitiative of the individual.

According to the new plans, members of the Special Committee will interview only his acquaintances in the Freshman class and seek to show him in a personal way the advantages of social service and to persuade him to under take it. After the Freshman has once enrolled he will communicate directly with the settlement house at which he is to serve instead of through the round about medium of the Phillips Brooks House Association.

The new committee of which B. F. Rice Bassett '25 is chairman, consists of the following members: R. G. Allen '26, G. P. Baker '25, E. H. Bates '26, G. D. Braden '25, Alden Briggs '25, Richard Brown '25, Fairbanks Carpenter '26, P. W. Chase '25, J. K. Collins '25, H. T. Dunker '25, T. L. Eliot '25, W. H. Gratwick '25, J. M. Greeley '25, Clark Hodder '25, J. J. Hollister '25, J. P. Hubbard '25, Hiller Innes '25, J. F. King '25, H. de F. Lockwood '25, W. B. Pringle '25, J. Mc C. Roots '25, Eric Sandquist '25, R. E. Sumner '25, J. B. Tailer '25, Lovel Thompson '25, P. D. Trafford '25, H. M. Watts '25, and L. H. Wood '25.
