$701 COLLECTED IN FIRST DAY

ROOSEVELT COMMITTEE AIMS TO REACH EVERY MEMBER OF THE UNIVERSITY.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Seven hundred and one dollars is the total sum collected during the first twenty-four hours of the Harvard Drive for the Roosevelt Memorial Fund, which began on Monday. Team A captained by Hugh Ward '20 is in the lead so far, with $311.50 to its credit; while Team C, of which R. E. Larsen '21 is captain is second with $233.50. Team B, headed by F. U. Perry '21, has collected $156.00.

The committee in charge of the drive is working hard to reach every man in the University, so that the sum collected by Friday night, when the drive ends, wid represent practically a one hundred per cent, effort on the part of Harvard men. The results so far are felt to be satisfactory, but a great deal more remains to be done if Yale's quota is to be definitely beaten, and the nation at large shown what Harvard thinks of the memory of Theodore Roosevelt.

No organized campaign will be conducted to solicit subscriptions from members of the Faculty, but all canvassers have been instructed to ask all members of the faculty whom they see if they care to make their contributions to the Roosevelt Memorial Fund through the Harvard Committee, so as to help in the filling of the University quota.

Canvassers may report between five and six, and from seven to ten o'clock tonight, during which times at least one member of the committee will positively be present. All canvassers are urged to keep in touch with their team captains, and to hand in the subscriptions they have collected as promptly as possible.
