Survey.

BIZ IiWrs Npcr'd.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. Ind. May
I8-Following an extensive study Of
ratings Of colleges and universities
in this part Of the United States,
Professor ". Norwood Brigance Of
the Wabash college faculty an
nounces that Wabash. Franklin col
lege and Indiana university are the
only institutions in Indiana whose
credits are accepted at face value
by any college or university in the
world
IN addition, Professor Brigance
showed by statistics that Wabash is
one of the most heavily endowed
schools IN the North Central dis
trict, with $500 per student. Since
the effectiveness of an endowment
is not based on the total amount
but on the sum available for each
student, Wabash is the most highly
endowed institution in the state,
and there are only a few higher in
tbs part of the country.
Five Authorities Used
The classification Of colleges was
accomplished by making a survey
on data given by five educational
rating associations. They are the
Indiana state department of educa-
ton, the North Central Association,
the American Association of Uni
versities, the United States bureau
of education and the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement Of
Teaching.
OF the tWenty-three colleges in
Indiana, all but three are recognized
by the state department of educa-
ton; half of the remaining twenty
are on the approved list of the
North Central Association. The
American Association Of Univer-
sites is more exclusive. including
less than one-sixth Of the country's
institutions of higher learning. Wa
bash is a charter member of this
association and its membership has
been continuous.
Z. 5. Recognizes Three
Only Wabash and Franklin COL
ieges and Indiana university are
recognized by the United States
bureau of education among the
states institutions. This recogni-
ton makes possible the transfer of
credits from the hOnOred institu-
tions to any foreifn university, and
their acceptance or what they are
worth.
The Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement IF Teaching. probably
the most exclusive organization Of
its kind. lists but two Indiana
schools. Waba n college and Indi-
ana university on its list.
Within the state. the nearest
competitor to Wabash in endow-
ment is De Paw university. which
has more than $500 less per stu
dent available. In Ohio. Kenyon
college is the only institution having
a higher endowment. in Michigan
there is only one; and in Illinois,
two.

LYNCHBURG, Va, March 12.-Delc-
gates from Virginia, North Carolina,
Maryland and the District of Columbia
gathered here today in large numbers
to attend the fifth district conference
of the National Association of Credit
Men. One of the largest delegations
was from Washington. One of the chief
addresses was made by F. P. H. Siddons.
a Washington banker, who discussed
THE Moral Risk in Business" He said,
in part:
"All of us realize that in our business
development OF today we must have a
sound credit policy. At it's best it must
tempted because of the desire for in
creased business to treat character care
lessly sooner or later his business fails.
This sound credit policy which in
cludes character leaves open the ques-
ton, from what sources can be obtained
information on this subject? We must
first put before us the following ques-
tions: Is the credit applicant honest?
Has he good habits? Is he diligent in
business. frugal and punctual?
I'm order to discover whether he is
honest do not rely merely on whether
he discounts or Is prompt. Personally,
would prefer to deal with the known
dishonest person than the shrewd. sharp
individual who borders on that dishon-
est wall but never steps completely on
its side.
I'm attending credit luncheons or in
asking business houses for credit infor-
nation I have often been impressed
with the fact that rarely has the word
character entered into conversation.
It has seemed to me that it has been
more the point as to whether the risk is
prompt, slow or bad. leaving you to de-
eide If he is bad his character is poor,
If he Is slow his character is fair and If
prompt his character good.
1T is not so difficult to discover
whether habits are good. Ask the seek
er of credit for personal references and
check them carefully.
Business can render good public
service which would likewise be a char
acter builder If 1t adopted more strin-
gent rules in check cashing than it has
observed in the past, and the public
realizing that in order to have this serv-
ice rendered it must be honest and
character and credit will improve"

u. s. BOND ISSUES
/. T0UCH[0W MARKS
All Maturities Are Affected by
Higher Rate on
New Notes.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 12.--The most
significant incident in today's bond
market was the further decline in all
United States Government issues. This
was heaviest in the Treasury certificates,
which on account Of their low yield
have been most affected by the rate of
asa per cent on tho new loan to be
dated March Is.
The Treasury 33ss of 1947 dropped
l., point. They have lost nearly
points since the terms of the new loan
were announced last Thursday. The
same loss occurred in the 3sSS of 1913
which are also off about points. New
lows were made on the Treasury 4s as
well as on the first and fourth Liberty
4l4s.
. The extent to which high money has
disturbed the market for Government
issues is indicated i'll the loss of nearly
points in the Treasury 4i4s from the
high of the year made in January, a
loss of about points in the Treasury
Is and of 81 points in the 3ss per cent
certificates. Going back to January
1928 it will be found that the Treasury
4l4s and Treasury Is are both off over
10 points. the 3sss of 1947 are down s
points and the 1943 issue about Az
points. The first and fourth Liberty
4l4s are off points from the price
reached two years ago this month.
This is situation that means a
heavy shrinkage in the investment &C
count OF institutions that have carried
their Government obligations through
out the past two years. The effort of
such institutions to restrict further
losses has apparently occasioned large
part of the decline of the last few days
High-grade corporation bonds were
also heavy. though dealers reported the
volume of business was small and that
regular buyers were not inclined to &C
cept offers unless they were well under
