There is urgent need for the blood, and a quota of 200,000 donors from the whole country, 15,000 to come from Greater Boston alone, was set even before the war broke out. Harvard's own quota calls for 2000 volunteers, and they are needed immediately. Two hundred and forty men have volunteered already, among them eighty Puritans, who signed up after an appeal by House Master Ferry, at the House Christmas dinner. A similar appeal at Leverett has produced sixty prospective corpuscle contributors, and other Houses are planning to follow suit...

So far the draft has radically affected only the Law School, which unfortunately depends more on tuition than any other branch of the University, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. What will happen to enrollment in case of war, nobody can even guess, although the example of England leaves hope that the College will not be too hard hit. But all during the emergency and after it as well, the problem will be one of lowering expenses so that tax-hit fathers will be able...
