Opening the twenty-fifth anniversary session of the Business School, being held today and tomorrow, General W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, will speak to alumni of the school and present undergraduates at 2 o'clock today on "The Railroad Situation," according to C. E. Fraser '19, chairman of the committee in charge.
Atterbury, it is understood, will ask for the unification of all the railroads of the nation into two competitive systems. Although he is not expected to name any two specific roads, it is believed that the logical two will be the Pennsylvania and The New York Central. This is a direct departure from the Interstate Commerce Commission's plan of last year whereby the Eastern roads would be combined into four competing systems.
MacDonald Also Speaks
After Atterbury, J. G. MacDonald, Chairman of the Foreign Policy Association, will speak on "The United States and the International Crisis." MacDonald has recently returned from Europe and has been active in United States affairs abroad.
On Friday evening a special dinner will be given at Dunster House at 7.30 o'clock. At this time J. V. McKee, ex-mayor and Chairman of the Board of Aldermen of New York City, will speak on "Municipal Government in Business." Governor Ely, Lieutenant-Governor G. G. Bacon '08, and Mayor R. M. Russell '14, of Cambridge, have been invited to attend.
On Saturday morning at 9.30 o'clock G. F. Doriot, Professor of Industrial Management, will speak on "The Control of Industry." After his talk A. G. Berle '12, special assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, will talk on "Certain Aspects of the Policies of the Administration." Berle graduated from the Harvard Law School and has been active in public and scholastic life ever since.
Although these meetings are for the alumni and undergraduates of the Business School, a few business men have been invited. Most of the alumni are from the immediate vicinity, but it is believed that many will come from farther west and south.
