Donnybrook Fair 1942 - Goucher College

46
The Fund Raising Division has hopes of becoming a Fund Raining
Division, after having had fifteen hundred dollars pledged by the college.
An amount not to be sneezed at also came from the Athletic Association
Vaudeville Show and from Winter Cotillion. The Service Dance for
the Camp Meade soldiers furnished another opportunity for people to
have their pockets emptied pleasantly. The ideas of the group are even
larger than the amount of money which they have collected, for the
dollars are to go into four different channels: the Goucher Scholarship
Fund, the International Student Service, the Isabella Thoburn College,
and the Friends' Service Committee.
Because "Say It With Service" has taken the spare time of such a
large body of the students, the program seems to loom higher than other
developments of Goucher's defense program. T hese, however, are no less
important. For example, there have been lectures on current war problems
to clarify our thinking. Six addresses with such speakers as Dr. Gallagher,
Dr. Lonn, James Young, and Vincent Sheean have been given at Goucher
and shared with the community. The faculty has also contributed directly
to · the welfare of Baltimore in evening courses and in conferences on
housing problems.
Nor have actual physical preparations for war been neglected;
President Robertson and a committee of faculty members have made
plans for defense against attack. Cellars have been stripped bare as broken
chairs, musty books, and yellow newspapers are dragged out and the base-
vVe are trained as nurses' aides . .. and we buy stamps instead of sundaes.
