MAN SIZED WORK.

A more valuable activity than social service cannot be found in the whole varied list of the University and for that reason the meeting at Phillips Brooks House tonight, which will be held to plan the University's social service campaign for the coming year and to enlist the interest and support of undergraduates, should be well attended.

The idea that college social service work is a theoretical dabbling in the social problems of a big city, and that it is simply "slumming", which has come to be synonymous with vulgar curiosity and condescending meddling, is wrong, as the men who did work of this sort last year will testify. There are man-sized jobs waiting for men to take them, in this field. Social service as conducted by Phillips Brooks House is not play, but earnest work, replete with opportunities for tact and executive ability, and full of real problems.

The benefits that the social worker himself derives hardly need enumeration. That he will be broadened by his contact with fellow men in a different sphere of life, and that he will learn much more about social conditions than any course in Social Ethics could possibly teach him, is a certainly.

From every view point social service ranks among the first of the extra-curriculum activities that the undergraduate may enter. Every man who has time should attend the meeting tonight and investigate, at least, the work the students are going to do this year.
