CHANGES PLANNED.
Educational Survey Says tho
Small Colleges Will Combine
MANY LACK ENDoWMEATs
Added Cost Conducting Colleges Make
It Impossible to Maintain Them
Without Permanent Funds To
Meet Obligations.

Iowa City.-Of twenty-three private
" supported colleges and universities
OF Iowa, many which have endow-
ments of less than 100000 may be
expected to combine, to become jun
ior colleges or possibly to devote
themselves to less expensive grades
of educational work, the educational
survey commission says in its report
filed with the State board of educa-
ton.
In the opinion of the commission
the number of private colleges IN
Iowa will become smaller instead OF
greater in the future.
The commission says: mo college
can now be successfully run on fees
alone. Higher education is becoming
more expensive all the time. Appli-
ances are now necessary which were
not invented generation ago. To be
assured Of permanent existence and
power to draw students college must
possess some endowment. Numerous
agencies which study colleges have
placed the minimum of productive en-,
dowment which an institution must
have to guarantee permanency and
efficiency at 100000. In the near
future even this amount will be In
sufficient.
OF the privately supported colleges
Of Iowa only ten have endowment
funds exceeding this minimum figure
and four have no endowment at all.
The endowments OF others range from
$4,000 to $165,O00.
The commission says that Iowa Is
second only to Massachusetts, in the
number of pupils in high schools, IN
proportion to population.
The privately supported colleges OF
Iowa were founded and are still
maintained by religious denomina-
tons. Their denominational affilia-
tons together with their total collegi-
ate enrolment for the last year may
be summarized as follows: Five Meth
oiist colleges. 1850; three Presby-
terrain, 212; two Baptist, 2SS: two Luz
theran, 1858; one Roman Catholic, 157;
one Latter Day Saints, "a; one
Friends. 1866; one Congregational, 10;
one United Brethren, n; one inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL, Al; five nonsectarian.
