For Country and for Chicago

Last week the University of Chicago's shrewd President Robert Maynard Hutchins launched a scheme to earmark war savings for a future college education. "Buy a future education," said the university, "and help win the war with the same dollars."

Under Chicago's "Tuition Certificate Plan," parents or prospective collegians may buy certificates good for future tuition at the university; the university immediately invests the money in war bonds. When a student is ready for college, he gets credit for his payments plus interest on the bonds.

Example: parents of a five-year old boy or girl can provide tuition for a two-year course at Chicago when he or she grows up by buying a $25 certificate each month for two years. If a prospective student flunks Chicago's entrance requirements oi decides to change his mind about going there, the university pays back his savings in cash.
