WORK ACCOMPLISHED THIS FALL BY P.B.H. IS EXPLAINED IN REPORT

The work of the Phillips Brooks House Association started this fall with the opening of the Information Bureau in charge of W. W. Foshay, '31 and W. H. Harris '32. The Bureau answered questions and provided information about furnished rooms to between two and three hundred students a day during the two weeks of its operation.

The next thing on the program of the Association was the reception for the members of the Class of 1934 at which the presidents of the Lampoon, CRIMSON, Advocate, Instrumental Clubs, Glee Clubs and Phillips Brooks House Association spoke and also J. M. Kingman '15. The Law School, Medical, and Dental Schools Committees also held receptions for the students in their respective schools. The Foreign Student Committee entertained 75 foreign students at a reception at which they were addressed by Dean Sperry, of the Divinity School. The Social Service Committee during the past week has been interviewing students interested in doing volunteer work at the settlement houses in Greater Boston, and has also secured about 200 passes for football games at the Stadium for members of boys clubs and scout troops. The speakers Committee has already filled two requests for Harvard students to act as speakers.
