Tough & Folksy. The university's up ward reach began in 1954 with the promotion of Ellis, a placid history pro fessor and dean, to the presidency.

There is new emphasis on the 50% of the population that is younger than 25." To attract younger shoppers, all three major catalogues now lead with sophisticated styles. To make their clothes "in," counteract the year's lead time they must contend with, and gain more of the market, Wards and Penney...
