MANY STUDENTS
SEEK ENTRANCE
Especial to The Argus

Galesburg, Ill, June S.-Pressed
by prospects of a larger return of
upperclass students next year,
coupled with an unprecedented reg
istration of freshmen, Knox college
authorities have been forced to
stretch the enrolment limit pre-
viously set at $50 students.
Advance registration for next
year on the part of students now
in the college has reached $50,
with the largest number ever reg
istered previously at this time of
year being 800. The faculty voted
to limit next years freshman class
to $50 This with the 300 who US
ually return to the upper classes
would make the $50 set as a limit
on the total.
On the basis of this announce
ment, such large number of pro-
spectiye students have already ap-
piled for entrance that the fresh
man quota cannot be reduced below
the $50 mark originally set. Meth
er can any of the present students
be turned away. The only course
left was to waive the enrolment
limit and allow 600 to register.

Largest Meeting of Group One
Enjoyed BY Bankers; Nearly 500
We're Guests of Geneseo Banks

surance rates ranging from 200 to
500 per cent
One of the most forceful ad-
dresses of the day was delivered by
Carl H. Weber, assistant chief in
the bank examiners Office of the
auditor of public accounts. His
topic was Liability and Reliability
of Bank Directors" He stated
that there are 49S national banks
in Illinois with resources of ST.
447 600, 900; 1,402 state banks whose
resources total 1911 900, 900, and
IT'S trust companies which have
$3.50, 000, 900 resources; all in the
control of IA ,235 bank directors, ito
have and to hold in trust" Stock
holders are held to 100 per cent
assessment, but because of the fact
that the directors are really the
bank itself, the individual directors
are personally responsible to their
depositors for any losses caused
them in the improper conduct of
banking business. Recent legfsla-
ton demands that bank directors
must be competent to act in that
capacity Empty honor is no long
er countenanced. The honor con-
ferred carries with it great respon
sibilities and liabilities when a di
rector assumes his place on the
board of directate.
Tax Problem Discussed.
The income tax problems were
most capably presented by H.
Archibald Harris of Harris & Co,
accounting and tax counsellors for
the Illinois State Bankers associa-
ton. Mr.. Harris stated that the de-
partments at Washington were
working on the 1919 tax returns
