Volunteers from the two institutions will take part in civilian defense tasks at the Boston information Center, the exact nature of which cannot be made public. In a statement on the volunteers' action. Col, Minthorne W. Reed. Commanding Officer of the Boston Air Defense Wing, said that the duties would call for "a sense of loyalty, an appreciation of responsibility, and a spirit of sacrifice."

Col. Minthorne's statement praised the "public-spirited action" of the students at Harvard and expressed no doubt that the qualities necessary to the volunteers would be found "existing prominently" in the volunteers from the University.

"It is most gratifying," the statement continued, "to find that so many Harvard students have responded to the appeal of the Harvard War Service Committee by selecting this work in the interest of national defense."

The War Service Committee found favorable mention in the Colonel's state men for its "due work in all phases of civilian Volunteer activity among the Harvard student body."
