FULL SPEED AHEAD.

The announcement that the College is to raise $90,000 for the Victory Loan wakes us from a state of lethargy. In one week nearly one third of the amount was attained, but this was due to a few large subscriptions. With but few exceptions the canvassers have "passed the buck" to someone else, and the result is that the number of individual purchasers is woefully small.

If such inactivity persists the quota can not be obtained. There must be hard work on the part of every solicitor, and men should no longer be left patiently waiting for the approach of a canvasser to stimulate them to purchase bonds.

There is no law or whip that compels men to search investors, but a sense of duty and loyalty should be sufficient incentive to promote active campaigning. The machinery is organized, and it devolves upon the canvassers to make the loan a success. Wake up, and full speed ahead.
