Chair Of Merchandising
For the State Universit,

Business men believe they are not
getting as much beEeht from the
University Of Nebraska as the farm
crs and the professions.
Consequently they want the univer-
sity to institute a chair OF merchan-
dising in connection with its school
of commerce. They want stenogra-
pliers who have a university educa-
ton, who are university trained. The
State Association OF Commercial
Clubs decided this some months ago.
The Commercial club of Omaha
has taken it up now and has agreed
with the state organization. The re-
gents of the university will be re-
quested to take the matter up.
