Yesterday afternoon, Governor McCall stated to a CRIMSON reporter that it is the duty of the students now in the University to purchase Liberty Bonds, as one of the most effective ways of assisting the country.

His full statement is as follows:

"It is not given to us all to serve our country by the bearing of arms or by other deeds incidental to active warfare. Each and every one of us can however assist our country in this time of need, by one or more of the many ways of national service. The purchase of Liberty Bonds is as effective a way of assistance to our soldiers and our country as is offered to us. Many of the Harvard boys are serving under arms at the battle front and adding new lustre to the fame of the college they represent, and to those left behind it is a duty to see that its lustre is not lessened by failure on their part to do those things that are next in importance to the carrying of arms."

Committee Begins Work Next Week.

The work of the Liberty Bond Committee will not begin fully until next week. A thorough canvass of the University will then be made and buttons distributed to all purchasers of bonds. The campaign will be assisted by banners and streamers, and for the University it will be known as Liberty Bond Week.

Until that time, any men who wish to purchase bonds should apply to one of the Cambridge banks. For those who wish to buy on the instalment plan the following system of payments may be arranged: 2 per cent on application, and, in the case of a $50 bond, $7 per month for 7 months, or, in the case of a larger bond, a proportionate increase in the amount payable each month, payment ending in May.
