Despite a poll showing that 75 of 77 students in Philosophy 3 wanted to discuss the controversial text "Morals and Medicine," Hiram J. McLendon, assistant professor of Philosophy, remained undecided last night on the possibility of lifting his earlier ban...
...turn of the century, when his old friend Ban Johnson decided to take a crack at the majors, Connie gladly took on the job of organizing a competitor for the Philadelphia Nationals. Ruthlessly raiding the opposition, Connie signed up such great stars as Nap Lajoie and Lave Cross. By 1902 he had an American League pennant contender in the Philadelphia Athletics.

To admen, A.A.A.A.'s concessions will mean little. The 15% commission is not all profit, but covers the costs of preparing copy, researching markets, planning layouts, advising on public relations, and a score of other important selling services. For many an agency profits run about ¾% of billings; with that little margin nobody expects the advertising agency to revert to big-scale...
