...many a month have been two self-appointed watchdogs of the public purse: O. S. Hitchner of Freeport and C. O. Ellis of Grayville. Watchdogs Hitchner & Ellis sniff out academic extravagance, then send pamphlets about it to Illinois newspapers and taxpayers.

The Harvard team will speak from Boston, and the Chicago team from the studies of the Company in Chicago. The subject, not yet definitely agreed upon, will probably deal with some problem of college education...
