Some 170 undergraduates worked each evening until only two undergraduates remained un- seen. In the graduate schools also committees of students were at work. These campaigns, to- gether with the generous contributions of the faculty, put the drive safely over its goal of fi522,000. Thus with a minimum of effort and a maximum of cooperation from the whole body of students and teachers, Yale was able to fulfill in some measure her obligations to charity. The money collected was distributed as fol- lows: S8700 went to Dwight Hall, the under- graduate 'Christian Association, 36000 went to the Yale Hope Mission, which exists for the shelter and remaking of transients in New Haven, 5154000 went to Yale-in-China, whose work, educational and medical, has been made more important than ever by the war in the Far East, 31200 went to the New Haven Com- munity Chest, 3500 to the New Haven Boy's Club Camp, and S400 to the Grenfell Associa- tion. About 3800 went for expenses, and the remainder was held against Hcontingenciesu. For the first time in years the approximate allocations of the Budget funds were released during the Drive. They were not actively pub- licized, however, and after the drive the Budget Committee was attacked for evasion and con- cealment, and Dwight Hall was attacked. for receiving too much money. Evasion was the furthest thing from the committeels intention, and as soon as the alloc-ations were definitely made, they were duly announced. The question of Dwight Hall, whose work appeared to have been strangely misunderstood and little studied by some of those who complained, was referred to a new budget committee, enlarged to include a thoroughly representative group of undergrad- uates. This committee will have complete con- trol over all the Budget's affairs, and its conclu- sions on Dwight Hall and other matters will determine the complexion of future drives.
