Evidence of low endowments is in the two chairs vacant since just before the war and in the small number of students that can be admitted. The tuition fee of $75 per term is not nearly enough to cover costs. Consequently, total enrollment is only 125--actually the largest in recent years, because of an influx of 25 former Army and Navy chaplains, but low in comparison to the schools at Yale and Chicago and to Union Theological Seminary, affiliated with Columbia...
...could stand the drain on its food resources without even tightening its belt. Production was high. The Agriculture Department predicted a bumper 1947 wheat crop of 1,240,000,000 bu., compared to 1,185,000,000 last year. Despite 14 million more mouths than before the war, per capita food consumption in the U.S. had increased 16%. In 1946 the U.S. supplied the world with a net of $6.6 billion of goods and services, but this was only 3.4% of the total value of goods & services produced by a comparatively fat and wealthy land. Far from scraping the bottom...

Election campaigns are of unquestionable value and should not be discouraged by an overzealous attempt to even the financial gap between students. Instead of arbitrarily outlawing the expenditure of any money for election purposes, the Council might well institute a basic maximum of five dollars per candidate. By allowing aspirants the means to publish mimeographed statements of intent, the Committee can maintain its policy of forbidding unfair ballyhoo and still uphold one of the most vital factors for the continued renaissance of student activity...
...personal problems should be provided by the University, the advisory system has shown itself by popular consensus to be relatively unsuited to this sort of work. Yet the average lowest paid advisor makes four hundred dollars a year for his task--based on a flat rate of twenty dollars per student. If this money were diverted to extend tutorial, admittedly invaluable in the social sciences, it might well find better use. The functions now argued as in the advisory province are already performed by the Bureau of Supervisors in matters of study help, and by upperclassmen, graduate students, and faculty...
