...listening to lectures by Gen. Francis A. Walker on various economic questions. Gen. Walker, the president of the Institute of Technology, is one of the best authorities on these matters in the country, and his ability and eloquence in treating such matters are well known to all.

As Mr. Page says, Yale needs waking up, and we can hardly conceive of a more effective way of waking her than that which he has adopted...
