A man named Gel mo discovered the drug. He wasn’t a famous scientist—nor a doctor, either—de voting his life to humanity. He was, in fact, only an industrial chemist employed by one of the world's largest chemical manufactures, Germany's vast dye trust, the I Fsrbenindustrie.

The date n/ incorporation— the unlucky 13th -has apparently brought the club no bad luck* for H hss progressed much and stead ily since that date fourteen months ago. In addHion to the two purposes named above, the club fulfill# at least two others: it allows students to beeeme better acquainted with each other and with their profes sors; and H givss ample opportu ntty for a better understanding of the practical application of eco nomic theory studied in the elaas- room. The Economics Club holds meet ings of several kinds social and business meetings and banquets and programs with A. A M. and outside speakers. These meetings take place in the Aabury Room of the Libr try on the first and third Wednesdays of each month.
