AMBULANCE FUND REPORT

The collection of funds and the arrangement for ambulances are now substantially completed, and the many friends of the College are entitled to a summary statement of the results.

About $2,100 in cash have come into the treasurer's hands; a few pledges are outstanding; non-payment of pledges has been very rare.

About $500 have been received from 100 of the faculty and administration and their families. The Outing Club contributed $5O. The proceeds of the dramatic performance, "A White Feather," were $225.72. No canvas of the alumni was made; but a few letters were written to various centers inviting subscriptions; $90 of unsolicited contributions were sent in from interested alumni; and because of th" letters $209 were received from small .groups in Bismarck, Boston, Chicago, Concord, and Portland, Me. The balance, which will eventually be about $1,050, comes from 525 or a few more, students at the college, in sums which ranged from $50 to 25c. The total expenses are about $54 of which $25 is the charge for the use of "Webster Hall. The accounts will be audited.

The ambulances have been accepted by William R. Hereford for the American Ambulance Hospital of Paris, and the funds have been forwarded to him according to agreement,—$1,105 for one ambulance, transportation and maintenance, and $705 for the other without maintenance; it is probable, however, that the committee will have about $240 to apply upon the maintenance of the second ambulance.

Two Dartmouth men will be accepted with each ambulance, and it is possible that there will be positions for two more. Candidates were nominated by a committee consisting of five members of the faculty and four of Palaesopitus from twelve who made formal application. The men who are to go are G. B. McClary '14, P. D. Smith '15, L. V. Tefft '17 and probably others.

The ambulances will be shipped at once and their attendants will sail from New York June 5.
