Denied Winter Campus Housing, International Students Scramble to Find Alternative Options
Father Field of Boston is doing a large and much needed mission work among the negroes on the back of Beacon Hill, and he has asked the St. Paul's Society for assistance. The society wishes the mission to be rather a college than a society work, though the management will necessarily be from the society, and so all men of all kinds in every class who feel any interest in mission work, or who are looking for a chance to do something for somebody besides themselves, are earnestly requested to help in this matter. Probably Father Field could find work for three times as many men as he asks for in his letter. He will speak to all who are interested, in the St. Paul's Society Room, 17 Grays, on Wednesday, October 25, at 7 o'clock. Every student is invited. Following is his letter:
34 TEMPLE ST., BOSTON, MASS.
GENTLEMEN:- I am about to open new Trade Schools in connection with the mission work for colored people at St. Augustine's. I shall be glad if your society can aid me on the evenings of week days and on Sundays.
The schools will be open for boys on three evenings and the kind of assistance needed will be the presence of two gentlemen on each evening and assistance in the schools on Sunday afternoons. We hope to open these schools in a large hall on Cambridge street, on November 1st. Trusting that you may be able to assist me in the work,
Yours faithfully,
C. N. FIELD.
