How liberally Illinois faculty and students subscribed to the Government Loans and the War Relief campaigns, may be judged from the following table which lists the most important of those drives conducted in the University district between April, 1917 and June, 1919. It is interesting to note that the University of Illinois held third place among ten representative institutions thruout the country in its subscription to the Third Liberty Loan. In total subscriptions it was surpassed by Chicago and Yale. However, its faculty subscription not only doubled that of the Chicago faculty but exceeded the faculty subscription in each of the other institutions.
