Report Card

P: After questioning 1,200 U.S. colleges & universities, the U.S. Office of Education reported that there are enough scholarships and fellowships available to provide one for every 20 students at a total cost of more than $36 million a year. But, says the report, too many of the scholarships are arbitrarily limited. Examples: scholar, ships for 1) a descendant of a Confederate soldier, 2) a descendant of an Alaskan pioneer, 3) a student surnamed Stanley, 4) a Negro preparing to be a missionary in West Africa.

P: Two big campuses started on another round of tuition boosts. Yale was upping its yearly charges to $1,600, an increase of nearly $200. Vassar was going even higher --from $1,600 to $2,000. P:Success story of the week--from Atlanta's Emory University. In 1936, President Harvey W. Cox brashly announced that he would double his $10 million in assets in ten years. He did it in eight. In 1944, his successor, Goodrich C. White, announced that he would double them again. He did it in seven years. Last week Emory got a new windfall. The Rockefeller-supported General Education Board announced that it would give Emory a whopping $7,000,000 for its graduate work.
