LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Formation of an Intercollege War Council of Greater Boston was the result of a conference of eight local college groups held at Phillips Brooks House yesterday afternoon.
Representative from war service organizations at tufts, Jackson, Northeastern Radcliffe, Wheelock, Simmons, and Emerson were called together by the Harvard War Service Committee to report on their activities, which included programs as war bond and stamp sales, scrap drives, volunteer drives, information and publication work, war relief, ARP, and first aid.
Temporary officers chosen by the group included Adam Yarmolinsky '43, chairman of the War Service Committee, as chairman, and Miss Hazel Brown, of Jackson, as secretary.
The new organization will hold monthly meetings and bi-weekly bulletins will be issued. Its purpose is to exchange information and ideas, and to funnel information from the OCD, the Massachusetts Committee of Public Safety, and similar bodies.
