...this critical time reports threaten an influx of twenty-five million foreigners who intend seeking work in the United States. Immigration is no new problem but just now it assumes added weight; hospitality is not the only phase of welcome. Among the many aliens who come annually to these shores, a large percentage are of a low standard of intelligence, and while we may reap substantial benefits from their arrival, there are injurious effects as well to be taken into account.

Like an ominous, glowing bed of coals, the Japanese crisis smoulders on, now fanned into a momentary flare by an incident such as the recent shooting in Vladivostok, now outwardly dampened by propagandists.

Taking into consideration the University's present high cost of operation, with its resulting annual deficit, the problem becomes extremely difficult, especially in view of the still uncompleted Endowment Fund drive. It would seem, however, that a drive for funds for the Business School would make a particular appeal to men not graduates of the college, who themselves, have a vital interest in the development of business efficiency. The training given...
