ASK FOR DISCARDED CLOTHING

The annual fall clothing collection made by Phillips Brooks House will take place Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. Collectors will be appointed and announced later to go through the various dormitories and gather up all discarded clothing together with old books and magazines. A wagon will go the rounds of the dormitories on Thursday to call for the articles collected. The collection this year will be under the direction of G. C. Barclay '19.

These clothing collections are carried out each year by the Social Service Committee of Phillips Brooks House in order to give students a chance to dispose of their discarded possessions where they will do the most good. All clothing is sorted carefully, and the best of the lot given to needy students, while the rest is devoted to the aid of the deserving poor.

In the collection taken up last year, more than three wagon-loads of clothing, books, and magazines were received, including overcoats, coats, trousers, shoes, etc. Several hundred pounds of magazines were sent to the State Committee of the Y. M. C. A. and thus distributed among the various hospitals, jails, and other such places near Cambridge.

The text-books taken up will be placed in the Loan Library of Phillips Brooks House for the use of students who are working their way through College. This library now numbers about 4,000 books, of which the largest number are text-books in the language courses or large elementary courses in which many or expensive books are required.

The rest of the material gathered next week will be distributed among the following institutions: American Red Cross, Associated Charities of Cambridge, Tuskegee Institute of Tuskegee, Ala., Morgan Memorial of Boston, etc.
