...announcement that the College is to raise $90,000 for the Victory Loan wakes us from a state of lethargy. In one week nearly one third of the amount was attained, but this was due to a few large subscriptions. With but few exceptions the canvassers have "passed the buck" to someone else, and the result is that the number of individual purchasers is woefully small...
...weekly quota of $30,000 has been announced by the University Victory Liberty Loan Committee for the remainder of the campaign. As the drive is to last two more weeks, this will treble the amount originally announced as the college quota. During the past week, only $25,150 was subscribed by the college, but the purchasers from the University at large put the grand total at $32,450. However, only the subscriptions from undergraduates are to be counted towards the quota...

Mr. Field said that he hoped that every member of the University would subscribe, making a unanimous quota...
Victory Liberty Loan Bonds to the amount of $2,000 were subscribed in the first two hours of the University drive last night. The canvassing did not begin until six o'clock yesterday evening, and continued only until 8 o'clock. In consideration of this short period of soliciting, the results of the opening day of the campaign are satisfactory. The Sophomore Class subscribed the largest amount, with a total of $650. The Freshmen are credited with $500, the Seniors with $200, and the Juniors with $150. From the University at large $500 was raised, bringing the total...
