K. lVood HIS was the second year in which the Finance Committee was formed by appointment and not by competition. VVinslow Carlton was made Chair- man by the officers of the class and he immediately named Talbot Baker as Sub- Chairman and twenty other men as members of his committee. At a meeting on April 5. plans for the campaign were discussed and the drive got under way. It was hoped that the Bursar would help out by allowing the sum to be collected from each individual to be put on the regular college bill, but he disapproved of this method. As a result it was decided to have every man in the class seen per- sonally by the collectors and to obtain the money in that way. Receipts and pledges were printed, the latter to be used for men who were unable to pay at the time they were first asked. They simply signed one of these papers agreeing to pay on or before a certain date. As usual, the difficulty came when the question of collecting from those out- side the Freshman Dormitories was considered. It was decided to try reaching these men through the English A sections, and, although this proved successful to a certain extent it did not bring perfect results. There was still a rather large number of outsiders who had to be visited at their homes as a last resort. At the end of the first two weeks of the drive a little more than half of the total sum of SBQ800 had been turned in. Instead of collecting this year the entire amount necessary to run the class during its four years in college it was decided to ask for one or two smaller amounts at some future time. so that it would not seem too much of a burden to some men, coming all at once. VVe owe the Finance Committee considerable praise and credit for its efforts in carrying out the task of collecting from the large number in our class, for it is hard work, and a rather thankless job. f95l

John Tudor, the Committee Chairman, and Parker S. Wise, his assistant, assumed general charge of all the arrangements. The committee, however, was subsequently divided into groups in order 'to supervise more accurately the details of management. Elliot T. Putnam was given charge of the decorations, James Lawrence, Jr., of the invitations, and Bronson JV. Griscom of the catering. Wiilliam L. Elkins and Thomas G. Moore were chosen 'to take care of the music and coat rooms. As has been the custom in the past, the Jubilee will be held in Smith Halls. During the supper hour, the Hall choruses will hold their annual competition, and the Freshman Glee Club will render several selections. Later in the evening there will be orchestras for dancing in both the Common Room and the Dining Room. The date of the Jubilee has been set for May QS. The Committee is making its final arrangements at present. Wlith the extensive plans to make this event an outstanding feature of the year, and with the cooperation of every Freshman, there is no reason to believe that these hopes will not be realized. l2'7l
