Dean McCrea Gives Wharton
Students Tips ori Getting
Men For Next Year j

Pipe Bending Executive Him- j
i self Taking Course and
Brings in Others
T)r. n. C. MeCrea, who recently re-'
! signed as dean of tlie Wharton school
of the University of Pennsylvania, to
accept the chair of economics of Co- J
lumhia University, appeared last even- !
ins for the last time before the stu
dents of the Harrlshurg extension of
the Wharton school at a special meet
ing of the students.
Dean McCrea talked over with the
•students plans for getting a class for
this Fall and gave positively assurance i
that the school was going to be a per
manent institution in Harrisburg, Just
i as long as the people of the city sup
port it.
Active work will be started in the
| next month toward getting students
| for the Fall's class and the work will
I be in charge of W. P. Raine, for the
faculty, a committee of students, the
Rotary Club, through C. Harry Kain, 1
architect; a committee from the Cham- \
ber of Commerce and individual busi
nessmen. Among these is IS. C. Frey, !
chief accountant and one of the board
of directors of the Pipe Bending ;
! Works, who is not only a student, him
jself. but brought five men from his j
j office into the school last Fall, and in
tends bringing the rest of them this
fall. One of the other firms deeply
interested is the Elliott-Fisher Com
pany, of which several employes are
taking the course. This company, rec
ognizing the value of the course to
their men. has a standing offer that
any employe who successfully com
pletes the three years of work will at
graduation receive back from the com- i
pany the entire cost of tuition in addi- j
tion to any other increases in salary i
they may receive in the meantime.
Tn Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. j
where the extension schools have been
established a little longer than in Ifar- ;
risburg and Reading ana where the i
work has had longer to be appreciated,
the Chambers of Commerce of these j
cities have adopted resolutions and i
taken the policy of employing students j
and graduates of the extension schools j
in preference to others. The business ;
men in these cities are vitally in- I
i terested and it is hoped to arouse
some such spirit among the business 1
f men of this city.
Dean McCrea was met last night by j
T. .T. S. Kishpaugh and .Tosiali Kline |
and taken first to the Wharton Stu
dents Club. He expressed himself as |
being very highly pleased with the I
latter organization. This club has been j
formed by the students In order to ;
provide a place for the fellows to i
study. It has quarters at 2t.1 Walnut I
treet, near the school, and has a:
library of several hundred volumes on :
finance, accounting, law, etc., along the j
work of the course. These books were j
secured through the co-operation of |
Dr. T. L. Montgomery. State Librarian. |
The club is supported wholly by the
students, a large number of whom are j
members, but there are a number of |
young men to whom the burden of |
paying tuition charges makes them |
unable to contribute to the cause, but, [
member or not, every student of the j
school has the full privilege of using
the rooms for study and the use of the 1
library. As it is necessary for the stu
dents to do the most of their studying :
on Saturday and Sunday, the club has
great advantages over the State and
city public libraries in that the rooms
are open at all hours every day, and
it has proved a great help to the stu
dents. The leaders in getting the or- !
ganization started were Josiah Kline, !
Norman Rintz, Richard McAllister, j
T. J. S. Klshpaugh and Bland Cornell.
In a few weeks it is planned to have ;
one of the professors give a talk of
j general interest, to businessmen of the !
city, and on that night the school will i
have an open house, when everyone j
interested will be urged to attend and j
observe the work of the school.
The meeting was very enthusiastic j
and was enlivened'by the singing of
Pennsylvania songs. Robert W. Troup, |
of the firm of the Troup Piano House, j
and a graduate of the Wharton school i
In Philadelphia, last Fall donated a j
piano to the students, who use it dur- j
j ing the intermissions in singing the i
i songs of Old Penn.
