RICH MEN AND
THE COLLEGES

Gifts to education are like cam
paign contributions ID that they are
best made in relatively small
amounts and from many sources.
Under such circumstances they are
likely to leave the recipients in posi-
ton to choose their own course in
matters OF opinion and teaching. If
they must be large, it requires great
er force OF character to maintain in
dependence OF thought and action
Such freedom has been lacking in
too many quarters. The spectacle
of a university president preaching
the maintenance OF some of the
worst abuses of capitalism and an
other meekly bowling the knee to re-
ceive the money offered by those
from whose acts he had but lately
suggested social ostracism as a pen
atty is not edifying.
Instances can be given in album
dance where the mere prospect of an
immediate gift has changed the
whole current OF a college admins
traitors thought and made him trim
sails on an entirely new tack to catch
the favoring breezes OF prosperity.
