P. B. H. LOAN LIBRARIES TO START

This morning at 9 o'clock, the Law Book Loan Library of the Phillips Brooks House will begin to lend text books to needy students in the Law School. This library has at present 239 volumes of which 109 are books used in first year courses, 66 in second year courses and 64 in third year courses. Due to the fact that a number of courses are this year using new text books 64 volumes have been rendered obsolete and have had to be discarded.

Not more than three books will be loaned to one man, a deposit of $.50 to

It was dedicated in 1901 in his memory to "Piety, Charity and Hospitality." With these three stones for a foundation the scope of its work has grown and is growing to include any and all service which may be of benefit to the students, the University or the Community. It has become the link between the store house of thought and action, that is the student body and the small world which surrounds it.

The work of the House is carried on by the Phillips Brooks House Association and is entirely in the hands of students. A cabinet, headed by an undergraduate president and made up of the chairmen of the various committees among which the work of the Phillips Brooks House Association is divided, determines the policies and practices of the organization. The Association is made up of the students who are participating in the work, and participation is the only requisite for membership. A graduate secretary lends his effort and advice to the work and to the cabinet. This is, in brief, the organization.

In the fall of the year, the first great effort of the Phillips Brooks House Association is in welcoming the new students and helping them to become acclimated. A Handbook containing condensed information on many subjects of interest to the new man is published and distributed until the depradations of upper classmen exhaust the supply. An information bureau is maintained in the parlors of the House during the week before registration. After registration, receptions are given for Freshmen, graduate students, and students from other countries. The work does not stop with receptions, however, and an "Open House" is held from time to time, particularly at Thanksgiving and Christmas. When the rush of opening week quiets down, the various functions of the Association begin to manifest themselves. The Social Service Committee helps all men who are interested in doing philanthropic work to find some outlet for their interest. About 200 Harvard men annually do work through this committee which varies in scope from Sunday School Teaching to Juvenile Court service. The
