COLLEGE GIRLS RAISE FUND
FOR DESTITUTE sTUDEN

When the students of Connecticut col lege left Saturday to spend the Christ mas holidays at their homes they left with the feeling that the college had lived up to it's high standards establish ed in previous years in the annual stu dent friendship drive. It was announced before the girls had left that a total of s1,400 had been raised in cash and for warded to the treasurer in New York for the relief of destitute students in Europe.
 How this record will compare with similar gifts from other colleges will not be known until after Christmas. but in 1917, 1918 and 1920 Connecticut col lege girls contributed the largest per capita amount raised for this purpose in any of the mems or women's colleges in the counS cy. The total 1,400l this year is the gift of some 375 girls.
 The plan used for campaigning for the student friendship fund is one that was originated at the college and has been widely used in other colleges in the last year or two. A representative group of g girls met and each individual indi- dividuai indicated what she thought she could give. The 25 figures were added up and the total divided by 25, giving

cause which will benefit the citizens and the city itself" said one of the leaders in the campaign Sunday. An example Of this fine spirit was displayed when on Friday Assistant Manager Hanley of the hotel presented handsome five pound oox of chocolates for those on duty in the booth withfa a request that the chocolates be disposed of by sale and the proceeds added to the fund.
 The committee desires to express their appreciation of the courtesy of the man. agement of the various places in which booths were located and they also pub Iicly express their thanks to the workers who spent long hours in the booths sell ing seals The booths closed Saturday night.
 Over 1900 new cases of tuberculosis have been reported by Connecticut physi- clans during 1921. and during the year many of these cases have been reached by nurses supported by the sale of the Christmas seals. Through this means. many tuberculosis patients have been advised where they can obtain proper treatment and some are on the road to recovery, thereby making Christmas a happier event than would have been the case without advice.
 Tn 1921 there were 1.o39 deaths from tuberculosis of the lungs from January to October 21st, which indicates the probable decrease in deaths this year as compared with past years. This shows that even though the population of the state is increasing, tuberculosis is not increasing.
 The money received from the tuber- culosis seal sale is spent in informing families of persons i'll with tuberculosis how tuberculosis can be prevented and how they can obtain proper treatment. Eighty-fve per cent. of the money re- ceived from the seals sspent in the community where they are sold Ten per cent. goes to the state organization and per cent to the national organiz- ation.
