UNEMPLOYMENT

In view of the recent employment depression, the Phillips Brooks House Cabinet has appointed a committee to cooperate with the various organizations attempting to alleviate unemployment. The function of this committee is to find out in what way it will be possible for Harvard and Harvard organizations to lend material aid in removing the misfortune and poverty that is attending the present depression. The major factor of this move is that this committee will attempt to sponsor benefit dances, obtain jobs for the unemployed, and assist other really practical measures.

The fact that Phillips Brooks House has undertaken to lend actual aid to one of the most difficult situations that have existed in the economic life of the United States is in itself a worthwhile gesture. What they accomplish will remain for future developments. Judging from the intelligence of the first move, the result will be highly successful.
