Communication

[We invite all men in the University to submit communications on subjects of timely interest.]

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In your issue of Wednesday, November 20, you published a communication from a member of the class of 1908, under the title, "Injudicious gifts of clothes." What was there said is most true. The effect is injurious to all concerned, when valuable articles are given in a thoughtless way.

I beg leave to call attention to the fact, that it was in order to avoid such evils, that the regular collections of clothing, which have been made in times past both from the Brooks House and from the Wadsworth House, were arranged. Those who have had to do with collections and distributions, believe that through them much good has been done. The utmost care has been taken in investigation and many cases of real need have been met.

If those who have clothing to give, will kindly notify one of the student collectors, or the secretary at the Brooks House, the matter will be attended to at once. EDWARD C. MOORE.
