Feature of the new volume is a separate listing of the alumni according to their present country, state, and city addresses. The last such geographical index was prepared eight years...
...total of 53 different institutions are found in one or more of these tables. Only sixteen institutions, however, are named in over half of them.

Building materials and iron and steel products have been in new high ground for some time. To these conspicuous markers on the highway to inflation were added non-ferrous metals (lead, zinc, copper, tin, etc.), which as a group have risen 46% since the commodity boom got underway last autumn...
