STATE COLLEGE GAINS BY "ACT' So-Called "Scholarship Act* Has Been the Means of Increasing the Beyenue by Large Sum. Columbia, Jan. 2.?Through its in onH rennrfs UDOI1 th^ ' tCSUoaiiuuo u"v> vr?.? _j __ y granting of free tuition in the State; v colleges, the State Board of Charities j \ and Corrections has potentially in- c creased the revenue of the colleges f from tuition by a sum amounting to $16,200. " | The investigations of the beard were made under an act passed by fie last general assembly which required it to { investigate applicants fro beneficiary i j scholarships and free tuition and re-1 , port on their financial status with its 1 * recommendation to the trustees of the; ] State colleges who were to grant ori^ refuse free tuition cr scnoiarsmps on, the basis of the board's report. Ap- j peal from the decision of the trustees j , to the State board of education is pro vided in the law. J , Besides the sum of $16,200 recom- j j mended by the State Board of Cliari-1 ties and Corrections for collection ; ( from applicants for free tuition, or j t persons liable for theiT support, the so-called "scholarship act" has been' the means of increasing the revenue { of the State colleges from tuition by a sum estimated at about $11,000 for . the session of 1916-17. . j t This added to the amount recom-1 j mended for collection by the State { Boar.d of Charities and Corrections in- j dicates a total of $27,000 received by 1 the State colleges from tuition this ? session which they would not have ^ received if the scholarship law had J not been passed and the board had j ^ not made its investigations under its provisions. In its annual report, which will' soon come from the press, the State < Board of Charities and Corrections will say in regard to its investiga-' j tions of applicants for free tuition: c "We have actually reported to me ^ several colleges the results of our in vestigations on 1,123 applicants for free tuition. As a matter of fact, how- ^ ever, we investigated 273 applicants j in addition to the 1,123 reported on. . These additional investigations were j made of applicants who had filed their { requests for free tuition and who j were investigated before the colleges T furnished us with a revised list of , those students in their respective in- J j cKtnHnriQ anDlvins: for'free tuition. "f Bat of this additional 273 we have been unable, in the time at our dis posal, to trace those who are now ac tually attending the several colleges and paying tuition. i "Of the 1,123 free tuition applica tions reported on by us, we recom mended "hat 652 be given free tuition and that 405 be required to pa/ Tn addition, we made a 'special report' on 66 applicants under the attorney gen-'I eral's ruling thai applicants over age Vi?re themselves Jfaolfc. but not their parents. Whar-ivei we found an ap-I pficant over age whose parents wore,! in our judgment, not aHe to pay we! recommended th.U he be given free j tuition and did not include his case in the 66 that made up our 'special! report. JtlOWBVcr) 11 ijia |;aituvi) nx?v j able to pay we did include him in our ; 'special report/ so that the 66 appH-. j cants reported on specially are young1 j men and young women who are them- [ f selves unable to pay tuition, but whose r parents are, in our judgment, able to z ? pay. * 11 "Tuition is regularly $40 per an-'t num at each of the colleges. It is j impossible to say how many of the ^ applicants for free tuition, whom we ^ recommended shall be required to ^ pay, were taking full courses. How- ( ever, assuming that all were taking | < full courses, and, therefore, liable fori tuition of $40 each, it will be seen a that our reports recommend that the t students be required to pay tuition r amounting to $16,200; further, tnat bb, students, while themselves unable to paj', have parents, who, in our judg-i ment, are able to do so. Thus, if full v tuition could be legally collected from c these 66 students, a total of $2,640 t would be realized from this group. j ^ "Moreover, it would seem proper to c add to these amounts the total of i what those students are to pay during c the year who, after applying for tui- e tion. entered the respective colleges and are now listed as pay students.! s However, we have been unable to t ascertain figures on this point; but t' the following statements furnished us f by the college authorities indicate s * ? _ A xT 1 ? in siriKing iasiiiun iut iiviusai eiicut e of the 'scholarship act' and of the 0 financial investigations based there- t i L on: "Up to December 20, 1916, Winthrop college had received in tuition fees' a from pay students a total of $7,598, compared with $2,080 received from; 0 the same source up to fhe same date in 1915. This is an increase of $4.518' p due, in the opinion of President John-! son. to the 'scholarship act.' j u. J. r>uxiu, suyei lULeiiueut ui j the Citadel, advises us that 'The! scholarship act will increase the Cita- j " del's income from pay cadets about E $2,000 this year.' j "At the University of South Caro- j F lina on December 20, 1916, 218 of the' b 470 students enrolled were paying as j s compared with. 62 pay students out of j t' a total pnrnllmprit nf K47 nn t"hp samp ' P date last year. K "The actual increase in receipts from this source was small?$594.50? b hut this was due mainly to the fact c that a very considerable number of b students who take a limited amount of work and who ordinarily get free tui tion did not apply for it this year, pre ferring to pay $3 for each of the courses taken by them. "Under date of December 21, 1916, President Riggs. of Clemson. advises us by telegram that for the first and second quarters at Clemson this year there has been an increase of 83.1 per cent in tuition collections. 'Until the end of the fiscal year, he says, it will be impossible to get exact figures, but ie estimates tliat Clemson's tuition re ^ipts will be increased this year $4, >00 by voluntary additions and a lars >r amount by reason of the adoption >f the recommendations in our report m tuition by the trustees. "We have done our work the best! ve could and have tried to be just j >oth to the applicants and to tne \ State, but to expect that we have made 10 errors is to expect the impossible, ! tr.d we are glad tne law na? pro- j r rided means by which any unlnten-1 c lona! injustice we have done may be t] :orrected." _ | r m | n Protect Stock Fr?jn Cold ! w Clemson College, S.
