Bv CHEsTER 81. ROWELL

"College orgies" are once more a
chronic feature of the news. Some
Investigator discovers, or some scan
dial reveals college youths drinking
bad booze and doing the other things
that usually go with it.
Not all the stories are true, and
most of them are exaggerated, but
there is Of course basis for some of
them, and for these there is no legit-
innate defense.
But also there is no excuse for
jumping at the usual conclusion that
these things are new, or are peculiar
to colleges. Who of the older gener-
alton of college men has forgotten that
these things happened in his time,
too, in college and out
The memory, to be sure, is likely to
refer mostly to observation of the
conduct of others. Those who led the
wild careers themselves are mostly
dead-as their imitators of today will
be long before the end of what should
have been their working lives.
But the thing did happen, wholesale,
then as now, and the world has grown
no worse in this generation. 1t mere
ly has more enterprising news serv-
ice.

| AMERICANS CONSIDERED
| WORLDS LARGEST GIVERS

In the last decade the total Of public
gifts aggregating $1,000,000 or more,
exceeds 100000, 900. Not many years.
ago says the magazine of Wall Street,
this was more than the total of
our national debt. The annual total
of all public gifts, including those
hundreds of lesser donations which
are mentioned only in local newspa-
pers or not mentioned at all, is i'm

say that as well as being the worlds
greatest accumulators of wealth,
Americans are the worlds greatest
givers of wealth for the benefit of
