GIFTS TO NJ. u. CITED IN
ARTICLE BY ]. WARSHAW

DR.. Jacob Warshaw, formerly of the 70
nance language department Of the Univer
sity Of Missouri, and now on the faculty
OF the University OF Nebraska, wrote the
following article which appeared in the
March 20 issue Of the School and Society
magazine.
The many large benefactions during
the past few years to endowed col.
leges and universities emphasize BY
their very number and munificence
meagerness of private gifts to STATE
universities. In spite of the respect.
able age of the latter and of the
throngs of graduates issuing every
year from their halls little beyond
moderate prizes and scholarships
falls to their lot. Their alumni pros
per, presumably. in the same degree
as the alumni of Harvard, Yale, or
Princeton, and their love for their al
ma mater is surely not less. A sub
tantial proportion of them continues
to reside in the state which furnished
them with their education. They are
undoubtedly susceptible to the human
sentiments, ambitions, and philan-
thropic tendencies which characterize
both those who, having attended en-
dowed colleges and universities
leave material remembrances, and
those who. never having attended any
college or university, like the Carne-
gies, the Rockefellers, the Fricks,
promote the cause of higher learning
by extraordinary donations more or
less admirably applied. Yet the sons
and daughters of the state universi-
ties fail, as rule, to erect to them
selves, to their kinsmen, or to human
ity those monuments truly more last
ing than bronze.
The reason for this apathy may be
sought in many circumstances, but
it. is in reality due mainly to two
common, though entirely erroneous
beliefs. One is that the state is per-
fectly well able to provide all the ap-
purtenances of education for its
wards: and the other is that the in
flux of private benefactions would ex-
ert an unwholesome pressure, either
in a personal or in a political manner,
on sacred democratic institutions.
That the state cannot, in most in
stances, adequately attend to the mani
fold wants of its university, or at
least, cannot attend to them at the op-
perfume moment, may seem a rash
affirmation to make. The facts, how
ever, are pretty clearly in favor of
such an assertion. Even the most

make feasible other enterprises. Speak
ing from memory as q former chair
man of the Gregory Committee,
should say that nearly 400 different
students have been helped since 1914
and that the total amount of loans has
been almost exactly $4,000. without
the aid thus granted-a1d which the
students would have never received
/ from the state-a very considerable
number Of the best type Of students
Of all colleges Of the University would
not have been able to obtain univer-
sity education. What the fund has
meant to the students, the letter-files
of the committee demonstrate in a
most eloquent manner. Young teach
ers, physicians. lawyers, business men,
engineers, journalists, farmers, SOL
diers who have made use of the fund
are unanimous In their gratitude to
the donor whom they never knew,
whose opinions and tastes they will
never learn, and whose, personal in
fluence on them was merely that OF
good man who wanted TO make
smoother the often hard road of the
college student. D
The University of Missouri has hsen
cited as an example of wise giving and
as an illustration Of the way In which
friendly persons of means may fur

generously supported safe univer'
stiles are unable to dispense will
fees from students, to furnish free
Textbooks and supplies, to build q
sufficient number Of dormitories, te
keep construction and equipment ev-
en- with the demands, and to main
tain a satisfactory salary-scale. On
the contrary, student-fees are on the
increase, and salaries move as slowly
as justice. 1t is only because of lack
of funds that universities have not
been able to take care Of these and
like conditions. In a situation of genu-
inc financial well-being, the state uni
versities would, of course, be acces-
sible even to students who are with
out means for meeting ordinary liv-
ing expenses: and the fathers of
state universities probably regarded
such provision as a necessary and
logical concomitant of popular high
er education. Whether or not col
lege career might have been put with
in the reach of every boy and girl in
the past is a much more debatable
topic that that it can be done now. 1t
cannot be done. The cost is prohibi-
tive d.
As enrolment and administrative ex-
penses mount, the state universities
find it increasingly more difficult to
make both ,ends meet. Their funds
are derived in general from public
revenues based on system of taxa
ton inherited from a distant past and
adapted to an obsolete standard of
university activities and disburse-
ments Where the university is en-
tirely dependent on legislative ap-
preparation, it can justly expect only
that share of the revenues which is
usually allotted to it in consideration
of the needs of the other state depart
ments and institutions. Unless, in
times like the present, radical inno-
vations in taxation methods are re-
sorted to the university remains prac-
tically at standstill, II it does not
acually retrograde. The phenomenon
of suspension of the building and
equipment program and the cessa-
ton of valuable academic undertake
ings is not a rare one in university
circles today. 1t may be said to the
credit of university executives that
they are foregoing projects dear to
their hearts in order to save whatever
may be possible for the salary-roll.

HIGH WATER NOT UNUSUAL
Farmers ut McBaine Say River Is Not
DANGEROUS.

Despite the excessive rainfall and
various reports Of high water on the
Missouri River, farmers living in the
vicinity Of McBaine say that the river
is not unusually high for this season
Of the year. 1t has covered the low
lands but this often happens, they
say.
It takes less rise in, the river to
cause fear of high water and over
flow of farming land now than It did
years ago because more low land Is
cultivated now than formerly. High
prices of land and the high produc-
tivity of river bottom land have
brought this about.

In the state without interfering with
the functions Of the state or with the
University. The theory that private
benefactions cannot or should not be
made to state universities is nothing
but an inhibitive notion and can ad-
vantageously be disposed with.

States, II not in the world, erected
for the teaching of journalism, and
will without question be extensively
consulted as a model for the con-
struction of journalistic halls in other
universities. Mr.. Neff is a graduate
Of the School of Journalism OF the
University Of Missouri and has by
his gift perpetuated in most fitting
manner the memory Of his father, a
journalist of prominence. Had Mr..
Neff not Volunteered this testimonial
of his affection for the University of
Missouri, it is almost certain that the
School of Journalism would have
had to find it's work hampered in its
former crowded quarters for an in
definite period.
The most considerable. and, in many
respects, the most significant. private
benefaction received by the Univer-
sity of Missouri is that now known
as the William Alexander Gregory
Educational fund, so named in accor-
dance with the wishes of the donor,
Charles r. Gregory. Its inception
appears to have been partly a matter
of chance. When Charles r. Gregory,
the brother of William Alexander Gre
CORY, was planning the disposition of
his fortune, he was, am credibly in
formed, in some doubt as to how to
proceed. A friend of the University of
NH h xyoc c.
ing, suggested that he leave some
of his money to the University. The
idea seemed extremely novel to Mr..
Gregory for he had assumed that the
state provides in all things for the
state University and that it would be
presumption in any individual to Of
fer to supplement the efforts of the
state. He allowed himself, however.
to be persuaded by his friend, and !
made over to the University Of Mis-
souri, the sum of approximately a
quarter million dollars for the en-
of scholarship and for
financial assistance ''to such students |
in the University as may show them
selves worthy of 1t by their charac-
ters, abilities and need Of such as

been an invaluable friend to students,
not only of Missouri. but of other
states as we'll, and has, perhaps,
done more for encouragement of schol-
arship than any other factor at the
of Missouri. By it are
various graduate fellow
ships and scholarships with stipend
of 5000 and $400. ten senior scholar
ships with a stipend of $50. ten
Of $3.50, and an Aid Fund for students
who need to borrow. The scholar
ships may easily rate with the best
in the country. since the high tut
ton at the endowed universities does
not have to be deducted in order to
arrive at their actual money value to
the recipients.
The. Gregory Aid Fund is COM
plete institution in itself. 1t can ex-
pend annually in the neighb6rhood of
SIC, 900 in loans and permits students
to borrow up to 5000 year. Inter-
est is charged at the rate of four per
cent. The date of maturity of the
notes is almost always fixed by the
student themselves, and it may be
added that the latter have been re-
faithful to their obligations.

and since the loans are returned with
