From the onset of the war, the college administration was concerned with
Tufts' contribution to the war effort. In 1942, a questionnaire was distributed
in the Tufts Weekly, now the Observer, in an attempt by
the college to make use of all skills and interests of students. Some
of the war activities held at Tufts include:
Sale of war bonds and stamps
Red Cross drive
Victory Book Drive
Drive for nylon stockings
Fundraising for war orphans
Training for air raid wardens
Victory gardens
Campus Victory Garden
Staff and students planted numerous victory gardens around campus. Members
of the community, including a letter carrier and two firemen, also chipped
in and took advantage of the campus gardens.
