It is shown that contributions were received from 590 institutions to the amount of $150, 575. Outside contributors brought this total to $427,012, which was deter- mined in Russia, Germany and Central Europe and to foreign students in the United States. Student kitchens were subsidized so that thousands of students were able to pay their own way. Fifty thousand students and professors were given warm clothing. In many cases the or- ganization found that two and three students together would own one torn and ragged coat or suit. - The bulk of the money was spent in Russia, Germany and Central Europe. In Russia alone 15,000 students were fed in the kitchens of the organization. Medical aid was given to thousands and in Kharkov alone 19,000 treat- ments were given in a year to the 18, 000 students. Forty per cent of the students there are tubercular and of these 15 per cent have little hope of recovery. Report Condltions Dr. Riviera, one of the representa- tives of the European Student relief, reports from Poland that in Luov large attic rooms in an old palace are used by the poorest. students as room- ing quarters. Equipped with 25 make- shift beds, six chairs, one washstand and one oil lamp they provide shelter for some 80 students. At the time 01 my visit the outside temperature was ten degrees below freezing, but the two stoves in the room were with- out fire. From another place he reports. "I found six to twelve students living in old basement stores, sleeping on old gunny sacks filled with straw-no linen, no blankets, cold, damp, poorly lighted quarters, And here were med- ical students, students of agriculture, pedagogy, engineering, the type of men necessary for Russia's recon- struction. "But all the students are undaunted and courageous with unquenchable faith,, and a seeming irrepressible thirst for knowledge." The association is more than satis- fled with results and finds evidences of a firmer basis for everlasting peace: and international brotherhood and friendship. The organization is now in its fifth year and this year hopes to raise $300,000, of which 50 per cent is expected from the university stu- dents of the more prosperous coun- discussion will feature the s cond membership, and is oraganized for the E day'. prevention of the disease.
