other measures, already made an | adequate amount of currency
 available whenever necessary. But only a small portion of the 1 available amount was used or will be used unless and until a con- siderably larger total of sound loans is demanded" Mir Wilson said. "The authorization of nearly l @ billion dollars of additional na- tional bank currency, building up a backlog far mode extensive than ever will be called into use, did not create demand for a single dollar of additional loans and, therefore, did nor place any more currency into circulation"
 Some banks have increased their circulation and others may do so but the funds acquired in this manner will be used simply to re- tire like amounts of Federal Re- serve notes until the demand for loans quickens considerably, he pointed out.
 "The plan to permit the issuance of more currency in the manner outlined above threatened imme- diately the value of the two per- cent Consols which were certain to depreciate as soon as the higher rate bonds became eligible to se- cure circulation" Mir Wilson said. Tt was urged that if the increas- ed volume of currency should be voted, the holders of the two per- cent bonds should be protected possibly through the imposition of a higher tax upon the higher rate circulation bonds. Thus something approaching equality of market values might be preserved.
 Tt was evident, though, that in-
 fuentia1 members of congress pansion clause without change more than they wanted the Home Loan Bank bill, and insisted they would have the former or nothing. Consequently fear of losing the bank bill brought support to the currencw rider and made possible its enactment. The three-years limitation upon the issuance of the new currency under this authori- zationr however, stands as a meas ure of support for the Consols so long as retirement of this cihcula- ton is a possibility at the end of that time. And still further sup port is imparted to the Consols by the interpretation of tn attorney general of the United Stateh hold ing that 1t was the congressional intent that such currency should be withdrawn in three years. How ever, whether, whether 1t will be is only conjecture now. The power which granted the privilige can extend 1t, and there is no dearth of belief that it will be importuned strongly to do so.'

STUDENT IS FORGO OFTEN
 AT COLLEGES
Lafayette College Head Deplores "Week=End" Institutions - Printing Press Is Educati0n's Enemy

Middletown, Conn, Oct 5 - (C. P.)--The student becomes "the for gotten man" in "the weekend col- lege, with it's proms. football games and battered automo piles" William Mather Lewis, president of Lafay- cite College, declared to-day at the annual convocation at Wesleyan University in recognition of schol- arship.
 "Too many so-called academic celebrations have nothing to do with the intellectual life," he said. Thus the public gains the idea that the weekend college, with its proms, football games and batter ed automobiles is the real college. The week day college with it's quiet accomplishment is for many the unknown college and in the sha- dow of athletic heroes the student becomes the forgotten man."
 President Lewis said the col leges will be called upon more than ever to provide linen who can think beyond their times" after the tragic joy ride which led to the fall of 1929"
 He termed the printing press "at its present speed. .an enemy of real education.
 "Lincoln, with a library limited to Blackstone, Shakespeare and the bible had far better chance to be- come truly educated than does the modern student, sitting in a will derness of drug store literature. movie magazines. tabloids and the rest" said the educator. We skim through. Lincoln plumbed the depths"
 President James L. McConaughy announced appointement of C. J. Olson, Jr, Worcester, Mass, as Olin .Fellow; D. J. Sullivan, Philadel- 'phia, as rich fellow; A. F. John- son, Norwood. Mass, as squire fel- low and R. D. Pendleton. Provi- .dence, F. l., as university fellow. |. The Cleveland Alumni prize was awarded to W. R. Walsh, Jr, of Quincy, Mass.

 Johnson, when he died, was the possessor of a small fortune of furs, some gold dust and jeWelry. A Portland woman already has made a claim that Johnson was her bro- ther and that he escaped from an insane asylum in the United States few years ago. AS far as can be ascertained Johnson left no known relatives.
