FACULTY AND EMPLOYEES GIVE $7506 TO CHARITY

As a result of a special letter sent to about 1200 members of the Harvard Faculty and 2400 University employees, the Cambridge Unemployment Relief Committee has obtained $7,506, E. H. Hall, chairman, announced yesterday.

Only 200 Faculty members responded to the call donating $4,860 to the fund, while 900 employees who answered gave $2,646. Although 20 per cent more employees responded, those of the Faculty who gave, donated liberally.

Previously Harvard students and officers gave about $6080 for the work of the Committee. Football collections sponsored by the Student Council amounted to over $7830. The total amount received from the student body and 360 members of the Faculty is $21,410 up to March 7. All the funds have been collected during the last six months. This does not represent all the contributions of Harvard, since many members of the University have aided the distressed both directly and through other agencies. Of the total amount of $93,324 that has been received, $34,000 is still available for service. By giving work on alternate weeks the Committee is able to give attention to 575 families. Since the Committee spends approximately $1200 every day of fair weather with the money on hand and installments not yet paid, it will be able to function for six more weeks. Most of the men on the payroll of the society are at work on the Fresh Pond reservation golf course.

The employment situation is still acute in the vicinity of Cambridge and shows little indication of improving, so that contributions are still welcome.
