In view of the recent employment depression, the Phillips Brooks House Cabinet has appointed a committee to cooperate with the various organizations attempting to alleviate unemployment. The function of this committee is to find out in what way it will be possible for Harvard and Harvard organizations to lend material aid in removing the misfortune and poverty that is attending the present depression. The major factor of this move is that this committee will attempt to sponsor benefit dances, obtain jobs for the unemployed, and assist other really practical measures.
