THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
July 1918

Undergraduate activity during the month of May was largely directed toward a successful winding up of collegiate enterprises and a completion of plans for a big Commencement. The college body, in addition, however, conducted an unusually successful drive in connection with the nation-wide movement for the Third Liberty Loan. After considerable advance publicity fifty canvassers "went over the top" in a two-day drive, and collected $18,000. The sum, together with the Hanover contributions, amounted to over $100,000, well over the $89,000 quota of the town. The sale by classes was: 1918, $2450; 1919, $4050; 1920, $5550 ; and 1921, $5850. A celebration was held the day following, April 26, in which most of the townspeople of Hanover, and a large part of the undergraduate body were engaged.
