With Adams House, the instigator, still setting the pace, the War Stamp Sales Program hit a high point on the last sales days, July 28 and 30, when a grand total of $246.45 was collected.
The idea started at Adams House. Eight weeks before the end of the 1942 Spring Term, stamps sales were begun which, by the time of the program's expanding to all the Houses on July 16, added 400 Gold Coast dollars to the war effort.
When the program spread to the other Houses, Adams House Sales Manager Richard N. Swift '44 was put in charge of all sales, and the total program was taken under the auspices of the War Service Committee. The seven Houses were divided into two groups, the first group consisting of Adams, Eliot, Leverett, and Winthrop, the other of Dunster, Kirkland, and Lowell Houses. Phillips Brooks House continues to supply the capital with which the stamps are bought from the Federal Government. Next term the program will be extended to Dudley Hall. Sales Managers in their respective Houses are: Adams, Richard N. Swift '44; Dunster, Richard A. Beyer '44; Eliot, James E. McNuliy '45, and George R. Hopper '45; Kirkland, George S. Cook '44; Leverett, Thomas H. Green, Jr. '44; Winthrop, Henry A. Frey '44 and Melvern K. Leisy '44; and Lowell, Richard C. Sorlien '44
