Tripling sales in a one-week period, Winthrop House put last week's War Stamp Drive over the previous figure. Bond drive officials, however, said that as a whole sales had dropped and that the drive could not be regarded as a success...
...Fetish of 2%. This fiasco was the result not of any weakness in the Government's credit but of the Treasury's stubborn amateurishness. Most bankers agreed that the offering would have been a success if it had consisted of 2¼% bonds of 12 to 14 years maturity, but the Treasury brushed aside their advice.

Science students, particularly, found it impossible to digest the full quota of factual material usually presented, while those with long lab assignments were over-whelmed by the attempt to jam sixteen weeks' work into the five-and-one-half allotted. Short exam periods immediately following final lectures...
