BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Isaac Gin
bel, who started his business career at
the age of IS in Vincennes, Ind, and
became one of the greatest merchants
of his time, died of bronchial pneu-
monia today at his home at Port
Chester, N. Y. He was "a.
Mr.. Gimbel was chairman of the
board of Gimbel Bros, Inc. Ill health
forced him to retire in the latter part
of 1927 from the presidency Of Gimbel
Bros, post he had held for many
years. His son, Bernard r. Gimbel,
succeeded him.
Isaac was one of a small group of
men who built the present great de-
partment store organizations in Amer
lea.
At the age of Is he accompanied his
elder brother Joseph from Philadelphia,
where the family was then living, back
to his birthplace, VincenneS, to run q
dry goods store founded there in 1912
by his father, Adam Gimbel.
Their first branch was opened in
Danville, Ill. In 1887 they acquired a
site in Milwaukee and opened there
a store which is still one of the largest
in the Middle West.
In 1894 Mr.. Gimbel moved back to
EHnduSIpIlld, Wlere ne opened another
large store on the site of the present
Gimbel Philadelphia store.
In 1910 he achieved what had been
his ambition for a long time-a New
York store-and built it up into one
OF the largest department stores in New
York. While he was president, Gimbel
Bros. acquired the Saks Fifth avenue
and Saks Herald Square stores. They
added another store in Pittsburgh. The
company now owns seven stores in five
cities, employing $1,000 persons.
Mr.. Gimbel kept out of the public
eye as much as he could. He rarely
made speech or any public statement.
Years ago he. made a written request
to his associates that there Should he
no pause in the activities of the bust
ness at the time of his death. This
request is to be observed.
His funeral will be conducted Tues
day at Temple Emanuel, New YORK
His body will be placed in. the family
vault In Mount Sinai Cemetery. PhiIa.

Mr.. Gimbel is survived by his wife
two sons, Bernard F. and Frederic A

Complaint of an under-staffed

today by DR.. Edgar C. Higbie,

Declaring that II teachers are

out that this faculty group is
much too small to handle the huge

subjects they are teaching.
More Than 500
The student body includes 3OS

in-service teachers who take in.

The classes, which, according
to a conventional standard should
carry only 80 students, now carry
from rs to 80, he declared.
Freshmen classes. which of all
other classes should have the
personal touch" of the Instructor,
are now doubled in size. To pro-
vide this close touch, he said, the
classes should enroll only 20 stu
dents. At the present time these
classes hold more than 10 pupils.
Suggests Increase
Several divisions of the college
would be considerably streng-
thened," he said, if the faculty
were increased. These divisions,
which include classes in history,
English, science and industrial

Gals of the treasury department
In financial circles it was pointed out
that the proposed assistance of France

from financial troubles in England.
while she had only little invested in
Germany.

France had decided to lend money TO
England instead of Germany.
A Bank Of France official declared
that today money was not yet at the
disposition of the Bank of England. but
indicated the agreement was awaiting
signature.
