Lending Money to College Students
Thwing, Charles F. | September 7, 1918 issue

The causes which lead one to lend money to students are summed up in a single fact having two parts— leanness of purse, richness of brain combined with nobility of character. The people who come to college represent, on the whole, the intellectual classes. The lending of money to college students seems to be one of the most effective ways of aiding democracy. The money given by the members of the community to the college for helping able, promising, and poor girls and boys comes back to the democracy in the form of nobler character and of greater personal efficiency.
