Foreword to Study of Student Loans and Their Relation lo Higher Educational Finance r EAR ago, in December, 1924, I agreed to finance an independent investigation, and study of established Student aid methods, under the auspices of the Association of University and College Busi ness Officers of the Eastern States. I did so because, from the three- year experience of the Harmon Foundation in this field, we feit that existing methods of handling eight or ten million dollars of public moneys in trust funds for Student aid loans, scholarships, etc., each year by the Colleges were often based on doubtful premises, conducted with a poor technique, were seriously wasteful and in a very large number of cases engendered harmful influences on the character of the recipients.

It was necessary, however, to limit our educational program to an exhibit of the results of our experience and an expression of our opinion when asked for by educators, which happily, has been of almost constant occurrence. With the “Study of Student Loans and Their Relation to Higher Educational Finance” available, prepared by a man with scholastic, scien tific, and business training—endorsed as a whole and rejected in no particular part by the Association of University and College Business Officers of the Eastern States—we feel that culpable or careless methods [5]
