...action of the class of 1919 in devoting the entire proceeds from the Red Book of its Freshman year, over $700, marked the first day's campaign of the University Liberty Bond Week. In addition to this large subscription, the Junior class has also made arrangements to devote the class fund to the purchase of the Liberty Bonds with the greater part of the funds in the class treasury. The Red Book money was to have been used for the 1919 Senior Album, but present indications seem to show that there will be no Senior Album for two years...
Today marks the beginning of "Liberty Bond Week" for the University, in which the committee of eight captains already appointed and teams of five men under each will begin their work. Their aim will be to carry on a publicity campaign by means of banners and streamers and to thoroughly canvass the University to solicit subscriptions to the new government loan.

This will give men who are not in active military service and those who cannot buy bonds an opportunity to aid materially in this government movement...

It is not expected that many large subscriptions will be obtained in this way; the average college allowance seems small enough to the recipient. But there is scarcely a student who is not according himself some luxury, which he could well do without. From money thus saved his subscription should be made. One fifty dollar bond, bought at a sacrifice, is worth more to the holder than many large ones bought with surplus cash...
...success of the Harvard Liberty Loan Campaign demands not only the cooperation of individuals but of organizations of various kinds. Wherever possible idle funds must be converted into the loan. The action of the Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity sets an example to be followed by the social organizations. Yet a more representative expression of Harvard's support of the loan could be gained by transferring class treasury accounts into bonds. Those who have contributed to the funds and who are now unable to subscribe individually could feel that they had helped the cause. The transfer of class funds from...
