...Peabody Museum received last week a box of Pueblo Indian relics from Arizona. Dr. Frank Russell, instructor in Anthropology, spent last summer in Arizona and collected these relics from the ruins of ancient Pueblo villages. He visited the ruins of about seventy large and small villages, some of which once contained over 1000 inhabitants. The villages are on the Moki Indian Reservation on the Colorado River. Dr. Russell's collection will prove to be of especial value, since the Pueblo relics are gradually being destroyed by traders.

The furniture consists of a sleeping bench about six feet wide running the length of one wall, and a few racks for hanging clothes. The only other things that could be called furniture are two soapstone...
...Student Volunteer Committee urgently requests the names of men who can play any musical instrument, or entertain in any way, and who are willing to give up one or more nights during the winter for the benefit of the inmates of the city institutions. Heretofore Harvard men have organized small visiting troupes and quartettes, or have gone singly for this purpose, giving entertainments at the Cambridge Almshouse, the Boston Lunatic Asylum, the Truant School, the Home for Incurables, and the State Reform School. Men who can do anything in the way of brightening the lives of these people are urged...
