Harvard-Radcliffe Combined Charities has found a new purpose this year. Instead of supporting large, established organizations which only subsidize the status quo. HRCC has sought a creative concept for charity.
The recommended charities are small but their intensive scope only makes each student's contribution more significant: a $3000 project to build a school for "grade school dropouts" in Kentucky; a program supporting university correspondence courses for Negroes and Colored in South Africa; The Southern Courier, established by Harvard students to provide accurate reporting of civil rights news in the South; Miles College, one of Alabama's few Negro colleges; an American Friends Service Committee project to help Vietnamese refugees; and Phillips Brooks House. The emphasis this year is on providing "seed money" to help and encourage worthwhile but struggling ventures.
"Where good people are doing good work, they should be supported," is the Combined Charities motto this year. We agree.
