...Economics "subordinated educational values to financial exigencies," the Committee destroyed its own case. There is little doubt that Mr. Conant's fears in 1936 regarding the financial condition of the University were justified; at the present time the University is suffering from an extremely restricted budget and its amount of loose funds is almost negligible.
