Through the College Library, Harvard has contributed $1,422.00 as well as four to five hundred books to the Camp Library Fund. At the beginning of the campaign, W. C. Lane '81, Librarian of the College Library, cooperating with Mr. Copithorne of the Public Library, sent out a circular to the officers of the University appealing for funds and books. No organized campaign was made among the students on account of the Phillips Brooks House collection and because it was only the first week of college. The contributions therefore, were almonst entirely from the officers of the University. Four...
...work of the canvassing teams to raise a fund of $5000 to carry on the work of the Philips Brooks House is well under way. Members of the teams are endeavoring to come in touch with every member of College. In the two days in which the campaign has been going on, almost $1500 has been subscribed. Six contributions of $100 each have been received.

It is worth while for the men as yet untrained in case next summer's campaign be both the last one, though I hope it will, and also because it is worth while to do what others are doing." President Lowell compared Germany to a band of brigands who, after robbing the bank and shooting up the town, ask the posse that catches them to arbitrate...
...campaign in spite of the extensive publicity may not bear enough fruit unless each stay-at-home contributes his share. There is to be no individual canvass; no strenuous pursuit on the street. We are asked to give what we can at our public library or at any local bank. So it will be an easy thing to go through the week without giving one cent to the fund, and friends will be none the wiser. But it will be proportionately difficult to silence that bothersome conscience, which demands that we help to make spare hours of our soldiers...
