Junk Committee collected cast-off clothes
and other articles weekly in all the halls.
These were sent to Noyon, France, and
to many institutions in this country. —
During the past winter the Education
Department. has had numerous war speak-
ers ‘to address the College. They included
Dr. Charles Upson Clark, of the Ameri-
can Academy at Rome; Lieutenant Hector
MacQuarrie, R.F.A.; Dr. Soares, of Chi-
cago; Miss H. Fraser, of England; Mr.
Fullerton Waldo, F.R.G.S., of the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger; Mr. Raymond
Blathwayt, the English, journalist; Mrs.
Lazroz Rohling, of Odessa; and Major
Boehm, of the Canadian Army.
The Bureau of Public Speaking was
not very successful as few people seemed
eager to speak. We have, however, to
thank Mrs. W. R. Smith, who gave us
much help and encouragement. The
committee of the Bureau consisted of the
presidents of all the clubs.
Owing to the interest of the English
Department it was made possible for us
to do some work for the Foreign Press
Bureau. Several government pamphlets
were reviewed by the students and di-
gests made and sent to the Bureau for
publication in Russia.
For publicity, a bulletin board was put
up in the New Book Room on which the
government bulletins, cartoons, and other
articles of interest were posted. We also
put up several big war maps and posters.
Mrs. W. R. Smith presented us with 200
war pamphlets, which have been card cat-
alogued and placed on file in the New
Book Room.
The campaign for the Second and Third
Liberty Loan, directed by Mrs. William
Roy Smith, brought in a total of $250,000,
of which $100,400 was subscribed in the
Second Loan through the payment of
College bills in Liberty Loans. Bonds
were sold from a booth in Taylor by the
members of the committee and rallies
were held for both campaigns.
The Red Cross and Allied Relief De-
partment has given out or sold to stu-
dents 2011 hanks (or $1584.60 worth) of
wool during the year.
During 27 weeks the Bryn Mawr Col-
lege workshop has put out 32,989 com-
presses. The average number of dress-
ing per week has been 1220. The total
number of workers (working from $3
hours to 15 minutes a time) has been
2552, the average number per night 14.
During the first semester the room in
Merion was open from 7.15 to 10 p. m., six
times a week, during the second semester
from 2-4 (or 4-6) and 7.15-10 p. m., five
times a week. Only gauze dressings and
cotton pads have been made.
The receipts for the first semester were
$6733.43; for the Service Corps, $8,987.40;
from the May drive of the American Red
Cross (not counting the sale of jewelry),
$636.55, making a total of $16,356.75

Hospitals.
