...this determination to be fulfilled and this generosity to be repaid an equal determination and an equal willingness to give--of their time and work and intelligence--must come from the undergraduates and from other members of the Harvard Regiment.

It will be collected just as soon as possible, because Harvard has immediate need for the income which that amount will yield...

While in no sense a play of a social problem, it suggests some very practical improvements which might take place in our charitable institutions. Ideals are shattered, yet faith proves stronger than failure...
