Five hundred more enrolments for the American Red Cross are wanted from the University by the end of next week. The Greater Boston Chapter of the American Red Cross is making an effort to increase its membership to 20,000 and so far the number of enrolments from the University has not been satisfactory. The committee plans to enroll, if possible, a thousand students of the University in the cause.

Having branches throughout the country, it has received and spent more than $10,000,000 and donated relief supplies valued at $5,000,000.
The membership fee for one year in the American Red Cross is one dollar. Enrolments may be made and membership fee paid at the CRIMSON Building on Plympton street, at Weld 3 or with any member of the University committee on enrolments.
