Since the spring announcement of courses and professors in the Business School, several changes have been made, particularly in the Foreign. Trade and Banking groups...
...opposition to Samuel Gompers, who for thirty-nine years has held the office now coveted by Mr. Lewis. Labor's "grand old man", however, has declined to give up without a struggle. His supporters have resurrected the well-worn charge of a "slush fund", and are plying their trade with all the gusto of professional politicians. There will be "great doin's" in Denver before long.
