EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
One of the greatest needs of the American people to-day is trained leaders "in the world of practical affairs." The business interests of the country involved in banking, insurance, railroading, manufacturing, merchandising can be safely entrusted in the long run only to the liberally and technically educated man. The universities should do their part in helping to provide adequate training for the youths of the nation who wish to enter these pursuits. The University of Illinois is trying to meet this need in the courses which will be given in the new Commerce building, whose corner stone we lay to-day. EDMUND J. JAMES
