The Harvard Union will open its doors to the entire University next Monday morning. Last night the Living Room and Periodical rooms were opened to the Class of 1931, as they will be on Sunday evening also, but on Monday morning the restaurant will be ready to serve meals, the barbershop and newsstand will be open, and the same afternoon the Union Library may be used.
On Wednesday evening, September 26, 30 minutes of motion pictures depicting Harvard athletes in various sports will be shown if final arrangements can be made. These pictures were taken under the auspices of the Harvard Athletic Association and will be shown in the Harvard Clubs throughout the United States. In addition to these pictures, an attempt is being made to secure the three reels of regular and slow motion pictures of Tilden, Johnson, and Lacoste which were shown here with great success last spring.
Harvardian Orchestra to Play
The complete Harvardian orchestra playing under the direction of Roy Lamson '29, will give a varied program of popular music and classical adaptations on Sunday evening, October 2. This concert will inaugurate the Sunday evening entertainments which the graduate secretaries of the Union plan for every Sunday during the coming year. It has long been a custom of the Union management to give the men a special steak dinner on Sunday evening. Nearly 400 men come and it is the purpose of the Sunday entertainments to furnish a pleasant hour immediately after supper. These entertainments will combine music with moving pictures, and will last about one hour,--between 7 and 8 o'clock.
Patrons of the restaurant will be pleased to learn of the addition of a new set of dishes. These dishes are lighter and more dainty than those heretofore in use and bear the Harvard insignia. The

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
