Wars Eject on College Bud gets.

The Bureau OF Education at Wash
ington, giving the result Of Its effort
to obtain Information regarding the
effect of the war upon the budgets Of
privately supported colleges and uni
versities, tabulates the reports re-
ceived from sixteen institutions rep
resentative of nearly every type OF
school not dependent upon some form
of State or Government support in
this country. Several of these instl-
tutions report grave doubts for the
future" and eleven of the sixteen de-
clare that they faced material deficits
In the last school year.
One university in the East, which
had a total enrolment Of 3,267 stu
dents IN 1916. reports the reduction
in its income in the school year OF
191T-1S as 100000. A university In
the South. which had 9e6 students in
1916. gives the reduction in its In
600; an Eastern college reports that
in the same period its income dropped
$4,000; n college in the West re-
ports a drop of So0.0OO. The prob
able war deficit Of one Western uni
versity is estimated at $4,000, and
the probable deficit OF one Eastern
university is given at $225, 900. and Of
two others at $4,000.
The reason for these deficits is
stated in almost all cases to be the
loss in tuition and dormitory rents,
one Eastern university reporting its
loss from these sources as amounting
to $125,O00. This appears very evil
dent In looking over the detailed loss
Of students. An Eastern college with
an enrolment of 612 reports the loss
Of 200 students; another as from one
third to one-half Of It's former student
body. Not one Of the institutions
gives its loss at less than 20 per cent.
one gives its loss at 40 per cent.
The struggle Of most of these in
situations to continue has been Sc
we're. One college gives the means
employed to meet the deficit as n re-
duction in the salary list by a de-
crease in the faculty; another that
this matter had adjusted itself by the
fact that many Of the faculty have
gone into war service. The resort to
alumni gifts and contributions and to
subscriptions from friends appears
uncertain from the demands made
upon all Americans in the interest of
war work and war charities. When
institutions as heavily endowed as
Columbia and Harvard have pro-
fessed pressing need Of funds the
plight of some Of ths smaller and
poorer colleges and universities can
be understood. One college in the
West in its remarks upon the out
look says: "A number of institutions
are likely to perish" IL there Is no
relief to the present conditions.
Privately supported institutions
have been an important factor In the
American educational system in the
past. These are greater In number
than perhaps in any other country,
aud they have been strongly instru-
mental in developing and maintain
ing the American spirit. That they
have fostered and encouraged patriot
