Student View . . . Of Industrial Qrants To Liberal Arts Colleges The small liberal arts colleges are threatened by rising costs of opera tion. Originally, many of these in stitutions were established by various religious denominations to provide educational facilities for prospective collegians of their particular creeds. Insuring a liberal education, for a modest sum, in a small but academ ically sound college was the aim of founders of other private schools. In contrast to large state and private universities, these small colleges have long survived sole ly through moderate tuition charges and donations of inter ested individuals. However, tui tion and small bequests are no longer adequate to meet present day expenses. Consequently, many schools are on the verge of dissolution. Federal aid seemed the most likely way to cope with the problem. Fear ing, however, that Federal support would force the private schools to lose their characteristic independence, ad ministrators of the private liberal arts colleges have organized in state groups to enlist the support of indus try. So successful have the first few years of such effort been that it is no longer big news if a major in dustry allocates an annual sum for distribution among the liberal arts colleges of one or more states. Some industries earmark their gifts for particular colleges and for partic ular use within the colleges extend ed faculty opportunity, physical ex pansion, scholarships, and the like. Apart from such stipulations, the gifts from industry place no other fetters on the independence of the colleges in fact, indus trialists openly declare that they value as members of their staffs young people trained in the pri vate liberal arts colleges, in which individual initiative, cre- ativeness, and resourcefulness have time and space for growth. The peril of a few years ago is by no means averted entirely. But in dustrial awareness of the private col leges' problems, appreciation of the private colleges' contribution to Am erican life, and generous support of the private colleges merits commenda tion and encouragement. If more businesses would join the gift-allocating companies, liberal edu cation in the private college would be certain of survival and would contin ue to raise the educational status and the general welfare of the nation. Paging Rose of Tralee . . . McNamara's Band Plays On and On and On and On The air waves resound with songs celebrating the Irish and St. Patrick's Day, some plaintive and lovely, some sentimental and crooning, and others humorous. If a typical reporter were confronted with the ballad-writer's version of an Irish romance, the fol lowing news story might appear in the morrow's paper. Peggy O'Neil, daughter of Rosie 0'Grady, married Shauny O'Shea in Dear Old Donegal. MacNamara's Band played at the Irish Wedding in the Jolly Irishman hall and Kathleen, the Irish Washer Woman, Kerry Danced till she had to be carried back to Killarney. Shauny O'Shea met Peg 0' My Heart while she was a Pretty Girl Milking a Cow and he was selling Cockles and Mussels in Dublin's fair city. He took her home to his Mother Machree in That Tumble Down Shack In Athlone to tell her I Love An Irish Girl. It's a Great Day For The Irish, his Mother In Ireland ex claimed, and on St. Patrick's Day you '11 both be wearing the Dear Little Shamrock together. But when Clancy Came Back to Erin to find his Wild Irish Rose having herself a career and Smiling Into the Eyes of Little Bits of Heaven in an elementary school, he heard the Bells of Shannon ringing in his ears, and began paying new court to his Rose of Tralee. To the strains of the Harp that Once Through Tara's Halls Shau ny and Peggy marched in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, enjoy ing the Londonderry Air. Divertissement ... The White Gate Swings Open On Child's World Ever find yourself saying, My I remember when I was a child?... Mary Ellen Chase does just that ii The White Gate, in which adventures in a child's imagination are revealed Life of a country family revolving around the gate brings tender mem ories to the author.

Beyond the gate the country road ran toward the village and the sea. Excitement traveled the road in tie form of strangers, neighbors, ami odd relatives. As the author recreates her child hood days, the reader finds himself sharing her laughter and tears.
