Participation in the community service programs of Phillips Brooks House showed a marked comeback this year after slumping during 1957-58. Robert R. Little '60 estimated yesterday that the number of active members of P.B.H. "increased by 15 per cent to about 700," in spite of increasing demands upon the extra time of undergraduates.
After the drop last year, the Social Service Committee decided to consolidate its activities in settlement houses, to "spread itself thick" in the words of one member. Partly as a result of the renewed interest, P.B.H. has been able to offer near-professional service to the community in its social work.
The increase in the amount of time put in by P.B.H. members and the greater quality of their work is even more remarkable because of the trend to higher emphasis on academic performance, Little noted.
