Said Matthew Hill, best-known Washington alumnus: "Oppressive taxes and the public...

Among them: Sociologist Edward Alsworth Ross (now at Wisconsin), Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander (Scripps College, California), Dr. Irving Samuel Cutter (Dean of Northwestern Medical School), Law Dean Roscoe Pound (Harvard). On Wisconsin's staff Dr. Hicks will be in the good company of Experimentalist Alexander Meiklejohn, Law Dean Lloyd Garrison, Agricultural College Dean Chris Lauriths Christenson, Agriculture Professor Asher Hobson, all acquired by Wisconsin since Dr. Frank became president...
