WAR FUND CAMPAIGN

Under the general management of Palaeopitus, working through the machinery of the Christian Association, Dartmouth College entered the intercollegiate campaign to raise funds for the aid of sufferers in European prison camps. At a meeting of the Christian Association cabinet held before the launching of the campaign, the 20 members pledged approximately $500, which amount was swelled to $1091 at a meeting the same day of about 100 members of the faculty and representative undergraduates.

Throughout the campaign, F. P. Miller who is instigating the local movement, emphasized the great need of the prisoners and the necessity of sacrifice on the part of the contributors in order to raise an amount which would count materially in carrying on the foreign work. A faculty committee and a number of undergraduates including the members of Palaeopitus, were appointed to put the proposition before the students in a dormitory and fraternity house canvass conducted by one faculty man and one undergraduate. Members of the various academic departments have also been appointed to solicit funds from their colleagues. Although complete reports are not available at the time this article is written, approximately 54000 has been pledged to date, and it is expected that this total will be appreciably swelled before the campaign closes.
