Last week the new commission, made up of President Robert Maynard Hutchins of the University of Chicago, onetime President Henry Ingraham Harriman of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Novelist Dorothy Canneld Fisher, Newton Diehl Baker and ten others, met with its creator. For it Dr. Zook had two presents which gave his boast solid foundation.
