CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Richard t,
Crane, head OF the Crane Co., and
foe OF universities and higher educa-
tional institutions, died at his home
last night after a three-days' illness
of la grippe.
The death OF Mr.. Crane was sud
den as his illness had not been con
sidered serious A casual examina-
ton by physicians led TO the belief
he had suffered from an attack OF
heart disease. He had just finished
{ N;ht dinner.
Nearly 80 years old, Mr.. Crane, who
had been without the advantages-or
disadvantages, as he characterized II
of training in universities, and had
worked his way TO the head OF large
iron working company, contended all
his life that the college and the uni
versity were useless fixture and
that the money devoted to higher edu'
cation could be spent more probably
in extending Industrial education and
aiding persons who had met with ad'
verse fate.
His demise occurred within few
hours OF the issue OF his last attack
on schools, an attack called forth by
reputation of his theories by college
professors and presidents. In II he
renewed his assertion that college
graduates were ill-equipped for earn
ing a living and that many OF them
could not command the salary OF a
skilled mechanic Culture and not
livelihood or the means OF earning II
was the only purpose he could dis
cover for the existence OF colleges.
