...clothing and money, and there has been a fair response. Yet there is probably much more which might be given without inconvenience to the givers. Last year after a similar appeal from the Andover House, about seventyfive suits of clothes were collected; this year there is immensely greater need and a proportionately greater response should follow the appeal.

Last year Harvard only entered one man for these events in the Mott Haven games, and though this man won several points, our chances would have been materially improved and our reputation for this line of work better sustained...
