Today the Student Volunteer Committee holds its annual fall clothing collection. Between 3 and 4 in the afternoon and 7 and 8 in the evening the dormitories will be canvassed. At those hours all are requested, as directed in the circulars which have been given out, to have ready any articles of clothing which they wish to be distributed by wise charitable agencies. It is hoped that this opportunity for assisting the deserving poor of Boston and Cambridge will not be overlooked. As the work of the Student Volunteer Committee has become better known, the response to the request...
...wants a reply to the charges that the college man is comparatively selfish and indifferent to those not so fortunate as he, finds a ready and convincing answer in the report of the organization and work of the Student Volunteer Committee, published this morning.

While some students would be perfectly able to pay for what they would get in such an Infirmary, others would not. It has been suggested that if every student in the University resident in Cambridge were assessed one dollar a year and further one dollar a day for every day's residence in the Infirmary beyond five days, a nominal income of $5,000 might be raised, which might be sufficient...
Again it has been suggested that the students should form an aid association, with directors elected from the schools, to deiray by subscription the Infirmary expenses of members of the association. This would provide against serious crippling of the resources of any one student and all expenses might be paid for members of the association at an individual cost of from one to three dollars a year. Non-members of the association might be supposed to be those who could well afford to pay a moderate sum for their treatment, and thus a sufficient income for all expenses...
