BRITISH VICTORY
 HELD DESIRABLE
Middlebury Freshmen AL most Unanimous on This
 Point in War Poll

Middlebury vt., October l7-Less than two per cent cf the largest freshman class in the history of Middlebury College believe that the United States should never wage war for any purpose, according to a poll made here today on current affairs.
 Fifty-nine per cent of the wo- men believe that a British victory is indispensable for American safety, while only fifty per cent of the men hold this belief. However, ninety-two per cent of the women and ninety per cent of the men believe that British victory is de- sirable for American safety.
 The number of isolationists Is few as shown when only five per cent of the coeds and eight per cent of the men feel that Americas safety will be endangered regard less of British or German victory.
 Faith in the continuance of American democracy is shown by the fact that seventy-six per cent of the men and eighty per cent of the women feel that democracy in this country will survive the present world upheaval. The major ity of both the men and the wo- men did not feel American cap- italism will survive a German victory.

have led Dr. Smith to fear the clos- ing of many private schools. Dr. Smith also sees permanent prob- lem in the shifting age makeup of the population, with youth constant ly declining in proportion to other age groups.
 The problem is Q very real one. According to the John Price Jones raising consultants, publicly. an- nounced gifts to charities and re- lated projects fell of sharply in seven large cities in the first six months of l94l. This agency tab- ulated gifts of $43,05l,l98 in that period, as compared with $45,927,- 457 in the corresponding period of 194l, @ drop of nearly three mill lions.
 It is the small institution which is hardest hit. The University of Chicago, for instance has raised $9, 200 0e0 for its fifieth anniver- sary fund. The largest universi- ties, with large bodies of infuen- tial alrnuni, are doing all right. A composite study of 120 institu- tions and their endowments in 193o-40 by the American Council on Education Studies showed a net increase in principal funds of those institutions of $25,19l 900.
 But this apparently encouraging increase was almost entirely in the large institutions those having endowments of more than $6,000,- 900. These institutions increased their funds by perhaps $33,000000 but in the meantime, smaller in- stltutlons with endowments of less than $6,000,000 were suffering a loss of $e,000,000.
 Some of these were also report ing as low as 2.3o per cent income on their endowments, due in part to productive investments, in part to low interest rates.
 J. Hawley Cain, who compiled the report for the Council on Edu- cation Studies, saw a picture black enough, but not without hope. Noting considerable improvement in the rate of return earned on en- dow7nent funds in l939-40," Cain | CC1ltlIluGu, bAlC dA4Al44lAoVA dI4OAL VI endowed colleges everywhere are discussing what effect tuition rates and well-equipped government financed plants of publicly-con- trolled institutions will have upon private colleges, with their higher tuition and less well-equipped plants Times may change and demands on the tax dollar may force economies in publicly-controlled colleges that we cannot now foresee :"
 Cain believes that many inade- quately financed and improperly stafred institutions will pass out of existence, but that the majority of established institutions will find ways to survive.
 HUTCHINS ON THE VALUE
 OR PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS
 Educators like President Hutch ins of the University of Chicago have repeatedly pointed out that
