Next year, with an estimated enrollment in these schools of 6250, a drop of about $200,000 at present rates would occur; and in 1950-51, when the College is down to 4300, a further cutback would be in prospect. In addition, nationwide inflation and continuing commitments for permanent Faculty salaries and other educational...
