Tho number OF colleges and so-called

much better by handing it over to some
institution already founded than by giving
it for new college A million will hardly
pur even very small college on its feet.
1t would do lot toward making effective
a small college already established.
-Of course. tho small college has its place
In education, just as a big university has.
The trouble has been that the big univcr-
sites have been getting the lions share
OF funds.
Mr. Rockefeller has seen this. He be-
lieves in the small college, as well az the
big university. He has wanted for some
time to give money in that direction. The
only trouble was that he had not the time
to lool; into these colleges for himself
