  Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger.Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses.We have no duty to save them simply because they exist.

  But many promising institutions that deserve to continue are threatened.They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising cost or increase income significantly.Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more income, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students.Even a very good college is a very bad business.

  It is such colleges, promising but threatened, that I worry about.Low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollment, they may go under.Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity.There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently(固有地)better than public schools.There are many examples to the contrary.Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world.It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity.Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good.Supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.

(1)

[  ]

mismanagement

B.

too few students

too many students

  When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me.I seek mends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love.It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

  When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend.We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let's start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

  When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend.He was in despair(失望)and 1 was in despair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We gave London to each other

  For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other's dreams.She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell…''We have never met.

  It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
