UNIVERSITY HEADS REPLY
COLUMBIA AND NEW YORK DE-
FICIENCIEs DENIED.
Statement of Secretary Bowman of
Carnegie Foundation Indignantly
Refuted by Presidents.

The statement Of John G.. Bowman. Sec
retary OF the Carnegie foundation for the
advancement of teaching, that Columbia
University. Harvard University and New
York University have been warned that
their scholarship and entrance require
ments are not up to the standard of the
foundation, with the intimation that they
might possibly suffer the same fate as
the George Washington University and
be removed from the list of the institu-
tions enjoying the benefits Of the founda-
tion's retirement fund. has drawn from
President Nicholas Murray Butler of Co
lumbia an emphatic denial. He yesterday
issued a statement as follows:
"As member of the executive COM
mittee of the Carnegie foundation / am
in a position to deny absolutely that any
intimation has been given to any Of the
universities named that they are likely to
be debarred from the benefits OF the foun-
dation unless their educatlonal poilcles
are changed.
"No action of any kind looking to this
end has been taken or contemplated by
the executive committee.
Chancellor MacCracken's Denial.
Chancellor Henry NJ. MacCracken. the
head of the New York University, which
was particularly mentioned as deficient in
scholarship standards. has denied all
knowledge of the communication mention
ed as having been sent by the Carnegie
foundation. DR.. MacCracken yesterday
at Oxford. Ohio. said:
II know nothing about the announce
ment of the foundation, and l attach but
little Importance to 1t. 1t is the habit Of
the foundation to send on. young men,
business agents, to make reports on uni
yersitfeS, and their reports not 1nfre-
ouently are. wrong. Last fall statement
procured in this manner was issued about
orr university, and we proved to the en-
tire satisfaction of our corporation and
eyerybouy else that the reports concern
ing our educational side as well as our
financial side were wrong.
I'VE then requested that in the future
the secretary of the founda lion should. as
a matter Of justice. and particularly in
view of it's confidential relations. submit
to us reports of its business agents before
sending them broadcast over the country.
l thought this would be done.
MY son, who Is member OF the FAC
ulty of Yale, told me that some OF the re-
ports of the young men of the foundation
and the announcement sent out from
them had caused great indignation In
probably learn some day. So far as the
New York University Is concerned We
have but one professor connected with the
Carnegie foundation. He was retired
after thirty years. We have no business
pending with the foundation"

of the institutions mentioned as having
been cited for failure to meet with the
foundations requirements, is now away
