P. B. H. Committee Appoints Special Member to Take Charge of Enrollments Here--Volunteers Work in Labrador During Summer.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Phillips Brooks House Committee on Missions has appointed a special member, E. K. Merrill '24, to take charge of enrollments for Dr. Grenfell's Labrador work in the coming summer.

Volunteers will leave in the latter half of June, and remain in Labrador until early in September. This year they will be assigned to St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Battle Harbor, Indian Harbor, and Harrington on the Labrador coast. They will engage in boat trips to secure supplies and transport urgent medical cases, and do such work as digging foundations, unloading vessels, or painting and machine shop jobs. Volunteers who are in the Medical School, or who intend taking up medicine will find many opportunities for helpful service.

One of the chief attractions of the work is the personal contact with Dr. Grenfell, who visits all the mission stations during the summer. It is his inspiring personality that has been the mainspring of the work of the Labrador missions, and it is due to him that such keen interest has been shown by college men in this from of summer service. It is with the view of rekindling this interest that Phillips Brooks House is making special effort to secure a large enrollment of students from the University for the coming season.

Men are wanted who are willing to work hard, and who have the necessary physique to accomplish the needed labor most efficiently. It is the cooperation and mutual service that has given the mission its widespread popularity.

Workers will be selected during this month. University men who are interested in Dr. Grenfell's mission, and want further information may apply to Mrs. W. R. MacAusland at 930 Marlborough street, Boston, or from E. K. Merrill '24, 46 Winthrop street.
