STATEMENT Doctor McClellan'a atatement In part follow.: rrovo.t Smith had a large numb.r et most Important problem, to solve ?n Snnectlcn ?lth the future of the University of "Pennsylvania. It I. irowlnic at a very rapid rate, and be Suia of this irrowth, as well as be cause of the mnny demands made on It for service from within and from with not. he needed help. Late last summer he nutted me to loin him In his work and becomo dean ef the 'Wharton School. It came to me like a call to duty. To help the man who had helped me ao much a. a stu dent and as an instructor, nnd to serve my alma mater, which had made pos sible whatever success I had had. rroved Irresistible and I consented. To do so I had to arrange all my business affairs so that they could be . dropped as completely as necessary to discharge the great responsibilities I was undertaking. My name remains In the business world, but the dean of the Wharton School cannot do'many thing, which were entirely creditable to a mere business man. No man In such a position could rve his university and his country unless he rigorously cut off speaking for or serving any trusts or special Interests of any sort whatsoever. Any thing less than this would be disloyal hnd unfaithful. The recent letter to the Wharton School faculty was only an Important matter of routlno nnd had no ulterior object. It was misinterpreted, but It Is not now. We had a faculty meeting tut Saturday morning and discussed It. I think I am Justified In saying that we came to a thorough and happy under standing about our common alms and sympathies. The laboratory of the Wharton School professional man Is the world. He cannot do his research work In books or within four walls. He ought not to be embarrassed In this resoarch work so long as It Is properly related M the responsibilities which the faculty and the administration have Jointly iBdertaken for the students. ,',Much discretion must be left to the professors. All the administration do stfts Is that, where the good of the university can be ln question, even to the slightest degree, the administration shall be consulted and informed In ample time, so that whatever Is done may be certainly Just to the students, to the professors and to the administration. stk& H TaMllF- ... . j ,.-... m I Jfcjr '"""ilv Wr I ill SH&X ,!&Jt;W B rVnr 1 DR.

Business and Realty Associations to Be Heard Before Action in Special Sessions Special sessions of Councils will be called for Thursday of next wwit and for Wednes day. November 39. to provide for the fixing, of a tax rale within tho time set by law. In announcing this program Chairman Gaff' ney, of Councils' Finance Committee, said that no rate has even oeen tentatively agreed upon or discussed by councllmanlc financiers. Under the law. Councils must fix a tax rate before December I or the rate Is auto matically fixed at the present rate of 1 on realty. That this rate will be Increased Is not doubted, but recent reductions In municipal budgets will bring the total mucn lower than was expected a few months ago. Wednesday the Question of a tax rate will be taken up at a meeting of the Finances Committee, and representatives or an realt- associations and business associa tions opposing an Increase will have an op portunity to register tticlr views on the subject. After this meeting the Flnanco Committee will have a week to decide upon a rate to Include In the tnx rate ordinance already Introduced In blank In Common Council. This action will bo taken November S3, and the bill will finally be passed In both cham bers at a speclat meeting to be called twenty-four hours before tho expiration of the time set by the Legislature. After the passage of the bill. It will at one be referred to Mayor Smith for his signature. foMTN READING GOING TO 10 CENTS ON NOV. 15 Many Retailers Oppose Proposed Increaso and Will Give tho "Trust" a Battlo ENGINEMEK QUIT TRAIN TO RESCUE YOUNG GIRL T Old Trice 8 6 20 6 12 Engineer and Fireman Bent and Capture Alleged Assailant of Child 250 Girls Imperiled by Gnu Explosion IIOBOKEN, N.
