Consolidation Nears Completion, Deans Will Take Charge A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW All people wonder at times what life will be like fifty or a hundred years ahead. Perhaps it is natural to think more about such matters when things have not been going so well, as is the case now. That makes it all the more creditable to be able to examine the future clearly and to find that it looks good. A case was the General Motors dinner at Chicago in the Company’s building which so many of our peo ple had a chance to admire last summer at the Century of Progress Exposition. Three hundred leaders from business and science studied the future together. They had been invited by Mr. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of the General Motors Company. There were some inspir ing speeches and many interesting ner did not believe that progress had ended. They foresaw and fore casted still greater inventions, still more new goods and types andikinds of services. All of these things mean employment which is the great consideration. Research has not been unemployed during the de- pression. the same, spirit and the spirit Science has gone on jus^ These things are of the they do not stop unless is defeated. It is comforting to see that there is no room for defeatism in the minds of the three hundred repre sentative leaders from all lines, and typical of all Americans and suc cessful men. It was a fine demon stration on the part of Mr. Sloan; and he should be congratulated and praised for it. Such occasions are not only the signs of better times, but they actually help in improving things.

The vows were spoken before Rev. F. A. Lupton, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, in the presence of the immediate families and a few intimate friends of the contracting parties. The home was thrown ensuite for the occasion, and was decorated very attractively witih regale lilies, roses and ferns. Bride and bridegroom were unat tended, entering the living room to the strains of Mendelessohn’s Wed- idng March, played by Miss Lucille Bivins, cousin of the bride. During the ceremony the pianist softly played, “I Love You Truly,” and “At Dawning.” The bridal chorus from Lohengrin was used as the recessional. The bride wore a suit of navy triple crepe with matching acces sories. Her shouluder corsage was of Talisman roses and sweet peas. Mrs. Hughes is the eldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. 0. E.
