...students through your columns, to the fact that a box for receiving newspapers for the hospitals has been put up in Memorial Hall. Here, it seems to me, is a chance for doing a great deal of good at little sacrifice. Almost everyone buys a daily paper.

Perhaps we may reasonably expect some outside backing, as the sum needed is not small; but it would be humiliating if we had to ask for it either in small or large amounts...
