Recommendations for a sound loan program. The Harmon Foundation went into the business of making loans to college students to see what were the problems connected with the practice.

17. Cole, Charles C., Jr. Encouraging Scientific Talent. A report to the National Science Foundation. New York, College Entrance Examination Board, July 1956.

260 p.

The National Science Foundation asked the College Entrance Examination Board to investigate various aspects of the problem of how to increase the Nation's supply of trained talent. An hour questionnaire was given to 32,750 students in 470 high schools. A short ability test differentiated the brighter students. The questionnaires of the top 30 percent of students were tabulated. According to this study, the expectation of going to college is directly associated with ability. There is a thorough but unannotated bibliography.

23. Commission on Financing Higher Education. Nature and Needs of Higher Education. Report of the Commission on Financing Higher Education. New York, Columbia University Press, 1952. 192 p.

Conclusion of the Commission is that by raising student fees and by getting more contributions from individuals and industry, higher education will survive. The thing that they do not want to happen is to have the Federal Government increase its scholarship program. According to the Commission, since Federal Government money carries control with it, freedom of education would be lost.

24. Conger, Louis H. and Philip A. Cowen. Expenses and Income of College Students. Association of Colleges and Universities of New York, The State Education Department, State University of New York, Dec. 1951. 26 p., mimeographed.

Findings of a questionnaire study of 3,373 students at 32 New York colleges and universities. The $350 scholarship stipend was a very substantial factor in college attendance of many students and if students cannot earn more of their expenses, an increase in tuition and fees may mean the elimination of some students who cannot meet the expense. Statistical tables support this conclusion.

28.

Incentives to Study A Survey of Student Opinion. New Haven, Connecticut, Yale University Press, 1929. 194 p.

Analyzes the motivations of Yale College students based upon 1,166 questionnaires. The findings of this study indicate that many students, not knowing exactly why they were studying certain subjects, did very poorly in them. When the motivation was strong, they did better. Another incentive to study for one group was that grade index and the amount of scholarship aid were linked together after the first year. Those students with high mental ability and a definite purpose were among the best students.

This is one reason why it can be said that there is more scholarship money in the United States than can be used. The State of Illinois, for example, has tuition scholarships worth $80 each toward tuition at State Teachers colleges. Many of these scholarships are not used each year. The individual scholarships are small, but the total sum is large. In 1947, $250,000 in scholarships was not being used.

Evaluation of the Rector Scholarship Program at DePauw University before 1940. The writer was concerned with the lack of success of some of the scholarship holders and wanted to determine what criteria could be used to assure successful holding of the scholarship for 4 years. He found that students from small high schools usually did not do so well as graduates from larger high schools. He suggested that a better testing program be set up to determine the awarding of scholarships. He further suggested that the stipend be adjusted so that juniors and seniors would receive a larger amount.

Several years after making a study of the Rector Scholarship Program, the writer became the administrator of it.
