...simultaneous announcement that the Business School tuition is to be raised from $500 to $600 a year and that the Loan Fund will be increased to allow students to borrow $900 instead of $750 for the two year curriculum is an indication that the Baker Foundation is aiming at an efficient solution to the problem of cost of education. It is also clear that the fundamental object of education in business administration differs widely from that of the cultural and professional education gained in other branches of the University...

The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs is in a position unfettered by either of these hindrances.

But something must have kept him busy, for when during the panic of 1907 a member of the congregation made a proposition, he was able to secure some stray public utilities in Iowa. No slow-growing oaks sprang from these little acorns. Within eight years he was estimated to control $2,000,000,000 of invested money in Mid-West gas, power, light and traction companies. Now he is one of the foremost U. S. utility men, has been especially active in developing the United...
