Fuller '19, secretary and treasurer of the Freshman class, amounted to $1085.19, which does not include the amount collected during the last week by the sub-committees. Approximately 250 members of the class have not yet contributed, which means that with the co-operation of the class the Finance Committee will be able to better the collection of last year's committee, which amounted...
