~ marks and as modern as the new

of bloodshed. while the establishing of
the new school of commerce and
finance. the first Of It's kind in the
United States, and destined to become
as big factor in the business world
of the southwest as many of it's pres
ent well founded institutions, was ded-
icated yesterday by the appointment of
| tive as brainy men as could be found
in the southland. to conduct the gem
eral AFFAIRS of the school. They are
| w. s. Bartlett, who Is chairman Of the
board and president of the German
American Savings bank; G. w. Patter-
! son, first vice president of the First
| National bank; Giles Kellog, secretary
of the Union OIL company; George /.
Ried, treasurer of the Merchants Trust
company. It took little effort for In
structor o, T. Johnston to convince
these business men that they were to
be identified with project that would
materially aid everybody connected
with the school OF commerce and
| finance. In fact many OF the mem
bers of the board entered into the
project heartily and promised their
earnest cooperation.

thing doing when they started things
rolling?
