Dissatisfied with the facilities offered at Brooks House, where 225 students, ate luncheon daily in crowded quarters, the commuters planned to establish a club similar to the Five-Fifteen Club at M. I. T. and to obtain central headquarters for dancing and other social functions. A complaint was furthermore lodged against the conduct of Brooks House athletics, which the commuters charged was kept in the hands of a few upperclassmen and confined largely to students living in Claverly Hall. The Club proposed to limit its membership to actual commuters and to organize its own teams for competition in intramural athletics...

Even more objectionable to it was the idea of allowing Allegheny Corp. to keep a 40% common stock equity...
...Paix, Paris posted a blue-penciled sign on its door: "The bank will open tomorrow at noon." But the bank did not open the next day, nor the next nor the next. No one could explain why it had closed, least of all its employes. Finally on complaint of some annoyed customers who wanted their money, French officials closed it tighter than ever by sealing the vaults. Apparently the only person who could solve the mystery was the bank's founder, principal owner and undisputed boss, Bertrand Coles Neidecker, a U. S. citizen...
