...Oberlin's President
...TIME, June 6, in the article entitled "Anti-Saloon," J. T. Henderson is listed as president of Oberlin College. He is not. Henry Churchill King is president of Oberlin College, a Congregational institution founded in 1833. J. T. Henderson is president of Oberlin Business College, a commercial school which gives six months' and longer courses in bookkeeping, typewriting, stenography and kindred subjects. The business college has no connection with the college. If rewrite men cannot carry in their heads names of college presidents (surely not an impossible task) a copy of the World Almanac...

S. people to demand stricter enforcement of them, to resist any attempt at their repeal or nullification. This time their proceedings aroused few smiles or sneers...
Obscure in its foundation, the Anti-Saloon League today is one of the nation's most powerful organizations. Wets have termed it the Fourth Branch of the Government (legislative, judicial and executive being the other three); have roared against its "invisible power." While its founders were meeting in Oberlin, its present General Counsel, Wayne B. Wheeler, was announcing a funding-program of $300,000 a year for the next two years. Denying that this money ($600,000 in all) was to be used against Wet presidential candidates, Mr. Wheeler said that only the "moderate sum" of $50,000 would...
