''CharlestOn Wiggle''
Shocks Bucharest

The American Charleston has out.
ragged Bucharest and, as a result,
public dancing is now virtually pro-
hibited. Although Bucharest is no.
toriously liberal regarding personal
conduct. the Charlestonian wiggle
proved too much for it's sense of pro-
priety. A howl went up that the new
dance was threatening public
morality As a Rumanian earnestly
explained. "the government realized
the immortality of the modern dances
and decided they should be heavily
taxed. The tax amounts to some
S35 per hour for each public dancing
place. The cabarets could not per-
suade their patrons to cover this ex-
pense. The result is that. while pro-
fessional dancers in modified birthday
costume continue to delight the caba-
ret patrons, q man can no longer
dance with his wife except at home
in the parlor with the blinds drawn.
But our informant assures us that
this was not the intention of the
Rumanian government; il only
wished to get a good big profit out OF
the new immoral dances. Its only
error was that it fixed the tax too
high.

BY JAMES ROWLAND ANGEL.
President of Yale University.


The easingly insiStent demand
of American youth for the service of
college, university or professional
school has forced nearly all privately
endowed institutions to appeal to their
alumni and other friends for new
funds. And so successful have been
their appeals that within the past
decade hundreds of millions of dollars
have been contributed to the cause
of higher education in America. Our
day may well be referred to as the
period of university endowment.
Because of the widespread public in.
terest in the general subject of how
universities raise money, l have been
asked concerning the methods used in
Yale's campaign to add $4,000 900 to
the endowment for teaching and study
which is now being conducted. The
answer, reduced to its simplest terms,
is that the effort is based on the in
herent loyalty of more than 10000
alumni and former students, mobi1ized
through careful organization on a geo.
graphical basis and through sySte-
matte publication of the facts relating
to Yale's educational service and poll
cies and the purposes for which the
additional funds are needed
The work began in November. 1925,
when the university corporation ap-
pointed an executive committee of IL
graduates to establish the campaign
organization. 1t was determined at
once to provide for every prospective
giver complete information about the
university activities in such a way
that he might easily form his own
Judgment regarding the validity of
1ale's appeal. This involved the two
main instruments of informing public
opinion-the printed page and the
word of mouth. But the presentation
of Yale's case through personal con-
facts necessitated organizing the alum
nj by locality.
Since Yale's graduates and former
students inhabit nearly every corner
of the globe, 1t was realized from the
beginning that many individuals would
be far out of reach of local commit
tees. 1t was found. however, that
there are about 400 cities in each of
which 10 or more alumni could be
organized as local units. The States
and Territories were grouped into
eight divisions, with a ninth division
for foreign countries. and a promi-
nent graduate was secured as chair
man for each division. Each diyi-
sional chairman then proceeded to
invite leading Yale man from each
State in his division to a conference
addressed by an officer of the univer-
sity. These conferences resulted in
the securing of all the State chair
men.
The next forward step consisted of
At State conferences also addressed
by officers OF the university. Through
these meetings $50 local chairmen
were secured and fully informed as
to the plan of the campaign and
their duties. They in turn chose
associate chairmen and team cap
tains for their ,communities
As a result of This work about
$500 graduates became active as

interamerican commerce, through all
sorts of rules and regulations, was
distinctly helpful, American business
leaders feel, because it brought out
into the open for friendly thrashing
out subjects that. unless frankly con-
sidered, might prove veXatious and
rankle in their breasts.
Many of the Latin American dele
gates also were loud in their praise
not only of the hospitality shown
them in the National Capital of the
United States and the attentions be-
slowed upon them, but also for the
opportunity of freely stating their
side Of many questions. They felt
that there was an immense psyche
logical value to such discussion, and
pointed out that the atmosphere in
Washington has been particularly
good because of the very substantial
number of outstanding American bust
ness men who know Latin America
thoroughly and are sympathetic with
the aims of those countries. who were
present and participated in the con-
! ferences and discussions.

For Is years he prowled about the

He has watched and measured their
progress behind the back of the God
dess of Liberty, whose face they had
all gazed upon as they had struggled
into New York harbor from the four
quarters of the earth. And today he
makes this startling prophecy:
'Radicalism is over in America. A
