rytHS ENDOWMENT of Harvard University is now
1 approximately one hundrril million dollars, as s
result of recent large gifts by Edward 8. Harkness
and oeerge F. Baker If set need a comparison m
order to understand hoar much money that la we
assy find it in the fact that the total assessed valu-
ation of Dallas city property is ocriy two and one-half
times as mush, and brthgt in an annual revenue of
six and tjro-thirds mflUooa. The revenue from Har-
vard’s endowment fund very likely is as much as
Dallas receives from Its city taxation.
Discussing the tremendous growth of the endow-
ment funds of some ef the larger universities and
colleges, the Kansas City Star recently said:
“Three universities in 1301 had productive funds
In esceas of 10 millions each, whereas there now are
30 such schools. Stanford Unlverfity’s 10 millions
27 years ago have grown to 39 million* Columbia’s
13 millions have leaped to 7*. and Harvard's 13 mil-
lions, as we have said to 100. Yale could draw bn
six millions In 1301. and upon 59 millions now. Chi-
cago’s growth has been from 7 to 43. Cornell's from
7 to 31, Johns Hopkins' from 3H to 36. Massachusetts
Institute at Technology from Isas than 2 millions to
nearly 30. Princeton's from 1 1-3 to II. Trinity Col-
lege In Durham, it. C„ had an endowment of 3334.000
la 1001. Am Duke University, with tobacco benefac-
tions pouring in upon it> the school now has an en-
dowment of 30 mflWons. f The pocket books of George
and others have raised Rochester's endow-
ment from 3-4 mflUon to 24 S millions. Northwest-
ern'S has leaped from 3104.000 to 16 milliem. the
University of Texas from 3171.000 to 1714 millions
Rice Institute at Houston, founded since 1901. has
an endowment of It millions ____ \
“The 30 schools of more than 10 millions endow-
ment each, which now have a total endowment wealth
at approximately 000 —Phone, odtdd call on less than
100 millions in the aggregate m 1901."
Aloag with the growth of the endowment funds of
the bj% institutions there baa been a tremendous
growth of student enrollment. Columbia University
reports 37.000 student!; tfnr York University 25.000;
tbe University of California 19.000; the University
of IWnoto 14J)0d arid so on. The larger the financial
resources of th^ school the larger its student at-
tendance becomes: and the more students it has.

TN A LONG statement gives the press a few daya
ago. former Governor Pat M.* Neff at TaxAt ex-
plained how (senator Earle H. Mayfield had prevented
his confirmation aa a member of the Federal Media-
tion Board, to which be was appointed by President
CooBdge. Palling in his efforts to produce any test-
many that would reflset upon Mr. Neff's actual qual-
ifications for the poettlos. or to present any evidence

executive that would bar him. Senator Mayfield In-
voked the “Senatorial courtesy* rule. This rule. Mr.
Neff explains. Is unwritten but unbroken; so that
“if any member of the Senate states si any time
that an appointment Is personally objectionable to
him. the Senate wffl not. ae a matter of cAtrtesy.
confirm the appointment."
We have never been an enthuslaastic admrier of
Mr. Neff, nor have we regarded the Federal Mediation
Board as of much practical benefit to the oountry.
It Is regretted, however, that the former Governor
has been denied a place on the Board merely because
a defeated and dl—run tied politician held a personal
grudge against him. Mr. Neff was twice elected Gov-
ernor of this state, each time going through a gruel-
ling campaign and making a fair sad square fight
for the office bp wanted. Mr. Mayfield was elected
to the United States Senate through trickery; and
was decisively defeated when the people had a fair
t|V opportunity to express their opinion of him. Mr.
Neff served acceptably as a member of the Mediation
Boa id, and could have continued to serve there as
wSU as any m*" who may be made a member of the
Board. Ifctrt was no real reason for a refusal to
confirm his appointment, and the Senate, no doubt
was convinced of that fact. The people of Texas
can do notMhg about it except, perhaps, to rejoice
that they have succeeded ih taktog out of the Senate

\ Fast-Building Cities . j
It is wonderful how the cities of
Texas are building sg rapidly. A
few years ago a Texas building that
cost 31,0004)00 would have been the
talk of the State for s wliole year.
Now the small cities are building
them and the ’’big places’* are put-
ting up 19.060.000 and $6 000.00t>
structures. At least Houston has
announced a contract for one of
that cost, and San Antonio and
Dallas may be expected to surpass
even that. Houston U is also plan-
ning a 924100.000 city hall. This an
means that the cities are growing
phenomenally, and U means better
condltidna for the entire State.
