When the searchlight was turned on Harvard's wage scale for scrubwomen, such well-known liberals as Heywood Broun and innumerable people less well-known voiced amazement at the University's stinginess. Even the CRIMSON had something to say about Harvard's ponnypinching attitude.

Although the University's close listedness still remains a generally accepted truth, it is something of a relief to discover that the wage scale for Yale's biddies is lower than Harvard's. Apparently, two of America's most reputable educational institutions are fighting neck and neck for the "honor" of being the stingiest employers in the country.

To the casual observer, however, it will perhaps occur that the situation at Harvard and Yale is by no means unique. A survey of wage scales at other colleges would undoubtedly reveal conditions more scandalous than exist at New Haven and Cambridge.
