IREE INDIANA SCHOOLS HOLD WORLD RATING Wabash, Franklin and I. U. Listed Following Survey. Bu Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind.. May 18.—Following an extensive study of ratings of colleges and universities in this part of the United States. Professor W. Norwood Brigance of the Wabash college faculty announces that Wabash. Franklin college and Indiana university are the only institutions in Indiana whose credits are accepted at face value by any college or university in the world. In adrihion. Professor Brigance showed by statistics that Wabash is one of Tie most heavily endowed school.'- ;n the North Central district, with $3,600 per student. Since the effectiveness of an endowment is not based on the total amount, but on the sum available for each stud- nt, Wabash is the. most highly endowed institution in the state, and there are only a few higher in th.£ part of the country. Five Authorities Used The classification of colleges was accomplished by making a survey on data given by five educational rating associations. They are the Indiana state department of education, the North Central Association, the American Association of Universities, the United Staates bureau of education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Os the twenty-three colleges in Indiana, all but three are recognized by the state department of education; half of the remaining twenty are on the approved list of the North Central Association. The American Association of Universities is more exclusive, including less than one-sixth of the country’s institutions of higher learning. Wabash is a charter member of this association and its membership has been continuous. U. S. Recognizes Three Only Wabash and Franklin colleges and Indiana university are i recognized by the United States j bureau of education among the \ state’s institutions. This recognition makes possible the transfer of j credits from the honored institu- { tions to any forefi n university, and their acceptance or what they are worth. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, probably the most exclusive organization of its kind, lists but two Indiana I schools. Waba n college and Indiana university on its list. Within the state, the nearest competitor to Wabash in endowment is De Pauw university, which has more than SSOO less per student available. In Ohio. Kenyon college is the only institution having a higher endowment: in Michigan there is only one; and in Illinois, two. AUTa WRECKS GARAGE Frankfort Woman Driver Confused by New Gear Shift.

COUNCIL VOTES TO AID 555.000 PARK PROGRAM First Step Taken for Plan to Beautify Bloqmington. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. May 18 Civic leaders here hail as one of the greatest steps toward an improvement program in Bloomington's history the first reading before the city council of an ordinance which would provide $55,000 for a park expansion program and payment of all park board indebtedness. Preceding the vote of the council, Dr. Fred Prow, park board chairman, announced that the Showers Brothers Company had agreed to donate for park purposes all of its land north of Seventeenth street, between Walnut and College | avenues, on which the park board i proposes to construct an elaborate j boulevard and ornamental walk, i Donation of the land owned by ! Jacob Miller, adjoining the Showers | tract on the north, also is practically assured. Dr. Prow said j The motion to adopt the bond is- | sue resolution was made by Charles : Barnhill. All members of the counj ell voted in favor of the issue with the exception of Councilman Blair | who explained that he favored wip- | ing out the park indebtedness, but j opposes purchase of additional land. Provides for $40,000 Payment Final action by the council in the j issue would provide payment of , $40,000 in debts incurred by thft i board principally in development of | the Third street project, and allow' ! purchase of additional land north ! of the municipal golf links on | which to extend the course to eight- | een holes. | Donation of the Showers land and the Miller land would assure realization of one of the dreams of the park board the conversion of what is now unsightly land at the north of the city to be beautified into an j attractive parkway approach, run- | ning from the Dixie highway at a i point where it is joined by the Mat- : lock road, south about 2,600 feet to Seventeenth street. The combined I land to be given the park system | comprises about eighteen acres. Bond Sale Assured The ordinance would authorize issuance of bonds for $55,000 at 4’n per cent interest. Some doubt was expressed as to the possibility of selling such bonds at present. However, William Adams, president of the Bloomington National Bank, told the council that while there would probably not be a ready market for the bonds at this time he would see that they were taken over. U. S. Hanna, Monroe county engineer, explained to the council the proposed development of the parkway system north of Seventeenth street, including a concrete driveway eighteen feet wide with gutters and a walk six feet wide and a tree plot making in all a forty-one foot extension of College avenue on the west side.
