College Plan to Buy Bonds Opens

Over 5100 officers and employees of the University may now participate in an optional salary deduction plan for the purchase of War Savings Bonds, Dean Chase and William H. Claflin, Jr. '15, treasurer of Harvard College, jointly announced yesterday.

The step represents another achievement in a long line of innovations by which the University's officers and employees are playing a definite role in the progress of the war effort. In addition to their share in Government service and research work, the Faculty recently voted a 12-month teaching schedule without increased pay, while more than 250 of these 2100 Faculty members are now engaged in vital war work.

Of the 1300 male employees of the University, about 20% or 110 men from the group between the ages of 24 and 35 are now in the armed forces.
