Most Parents Can Make
Payments
No one knows how many
parents have suffered serious
losses in the market. But I
suspect some parent investors
may find it difficult to put
their hands on large amounts
of ready cash this fall. We
know that many parents have
been investing in stocks be-
cause fixed-income securities
just haven’t seemed to keep
pace with rising educational
costs.

college budgets. These often
include late-model cars, gen-
erous sums for personal serv-
ices and amusement items.
Heavy cutbacks could be
made in budgets of this.kind
without sacrificing education!
Most college financial officers
believe also that with the
great variety of college loan
programs no worthy student
will be forced out of college
for lack of funds.
I am considerably more
concerned about another
group of parents — those in
the $5,000-$15,000 income:
bracket. College financial of-
ficers tell me that the fin-
ancial statements submitted
by those parents when their
children apply for loans or
scholarships indicate a gen-
erally serious financial situa- ‘
tion. Very few own stocks, —
have perhaps a few shares ,
of Mutual Funds. Most carry
heavy mortgages and are
paying for late-model cars j
out of current earnings. An
appalling number either have
no savings accounts, or at
best but a few hundred dol-
lars.
I am glad to say that many
carry some life insurance.
They do what they can to-
ward the education of son or
daughter. However, if any
great number in this group
were to be thrown out of
work or if the many working
mothers in these families
should lose employment, col-
lege enrollments might be af-
fected.
The Thirties And The Sixties
College enrollments in 1927-
38 totaled 1,053,955. In '28 '29
(the panic year) enrollments
did not drop, but increased
by 24,000. And in ’30’31 an-
other 27,000 were added, for I
a total of some 1,127,000. Not I
until 1932-33 was the crash I
reflected in enrollments, and
that was but a 5%' drop.
Therefore I believe most par-
ents will have no trouble fi-
nancing WORTHY children.
The 1960’s cannot be com- I
pared with the 1930’s. Our
credit structure, under the
watchful eye of the Federal
Reserve, is a vastly sounder I
basis. Banks have been in-
sured against the kinds of
runs that took place in the
1930’s. Most home mortgages I
are guaranteed. Many new I
industries — such as elec- I
tronics, chemicals, and the I
preparedness effort — have I

ably more dynamic. By law I

The Problem: The Small
Privately Endowed College
College enrollments have
tripled since 1929-30, to over
3,500,000 in 1960. Dr. Ronald
Thompson, an authority on
college population projections,
estimates that this fall's en-
rollments will reach 4,234.769.
By 1965, his studies predict,
5,206,493 will be enrolled; and
by 1975, 8,480,676! The ques-
tion is not one of the effect
of the current market gyra-
tions on 1962 63 enrollments,
but rather of how to find the
faculties and facilities to
meet the fantastic increase
in demand.
The real developing prob-
lem is this: Public colleges
and universities supported by
taxes are already increasing
their facilities at a rapid rate.
Small privately endowed “li-
beral arts" colleges will be
harder and harder pressed
. to compete ... or even to
maintain what they already
have. There must be consid-
erably more financial spu-

endowed “liberal arts" col-
