NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

So far in its campaign, according to Kidder, Peabody, and Co, the Harvard infantile Paralysis Commission has received about $12,000 in contributions. For the last two weeks, since a circular was sent out, donations have been coming in; and the Commission hopes to receive a total of from $20,000 to $25,000.

The Harvard Infantile Paralysis Commission is connected with the University in that its members are appointed by the Harvard Corporation. It depends in no way upon the University for its upkeep, but rather upon contributions given in an annual campaign.

Under the leadership of Roger Pierce '04, chairman, and R. B. Curtis '16, treasurer, it is organized for research and investigation for the cure and prevention of infantile paralysis. Its headquarters are at the Children's Hospital in Boston, and it directs 15 clinics in different Massachusetts cities.
