congdon spikes rumor by asserting honoraria fixed by board profits to improve book dean wray h congdon acting for the board of publications moved yesterday to set at rest the rumor that the present

as good as the avail able resources will justify officers request statement the statement was issued by the dean at the request of epitome officers after the erection of a large thermometer to record book sales was placed above the main en trance to christmas-saucon hall and a concerted drive on the part of competitors aroused comments on the campus that extra book sales meant more money in the
