Student Blood Totals Hit New College Mark

After yesterday's final day of soliciting, Phillips Brooks House's fall term drive for blood donation pledges netted 2,138 pints in contributions, P.B.H. co-chairmen Philip D. Levin '53 and Thomas H. Petschek '53 announced last night. The above figure is incomplete and does not include pledges received from Sargent and Lesley colleges.

Even so, this figure represents the largest number of blood pledges contributed by a single civilian unit in the New England area, and possibly the biggest in the whole country.

In last night's total, which bettered last spring's record of 1,425 pints. Eliot led the other Houses with 223 pints. Yard residents were good for 320 pints, and Annex students pledged 254. Thirty-five pints were given by what P.B.H. officials called "passers-by."
