OLD CLOTHES DRIVE A SUCCESS

The report of R. K. Kane '22, chairman of the recent Phillips Brooks House collection of old clothes, books and magazines, shows that the drive was most successful. Some of the clothing will be distributed to the poor through the Morgan Memorial and the Cambridge Associated Charities.
