Charles C. Chapman, S.J., presents in his book recently released, by  mans, Green and Co., "The Development of American Business and Banking Thought (1913-36)", a scholarly analysis of modern business philosophy and the infuences that brought it about. Father Chapman's book is the culmination of three years of intense research work which originated while he was studying for his doctorate degree at Fordham university in 1931. Writing his thesis on the development of business thought from the advent of the New Democracy to the New Deal, he was struck by the logic of the principles expounded by Pius XI, and decided to compose a practical exposition of these principles. "Success in reforming and reconstructing the economic and social order," Father Chapman states in his preface, "depends more upon an improved mental attitude of business leaders than upon any technological development." This improvement in business thought, he stresses, must come about through education if a revolution is to be avoided. That there has been in America a gradual development towards a real philosophy of business Father Chapman makes clear. He begins by showing that at one time there was such a thing as an obstinate Debating Society Closes Schedule Without Defeat Officers For Coming Year Named by Members The Edward Douglas White Debating Society closed its intercollegiate schedule without defeat when John J. McCann and Thomas Dunn won a unanimous decision over Emmet Gribbin and Henry Lumpkin, representatives of the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee, Friday at 8 p. m. in Marquette auditorium. Mc- Cann was selected as the best speaker of the evening. The Loyola debaters upheld the negative of the national Pi Kappa Delta proposition, "Resolved: That the Congress should have the power to override by a two-thirds majority vote, decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional." The Sewanee debaters argued in favor of the proposition. Judges for the contest were: W. B. Jones, C. P. A., president of W. B. Jones and Company; Hugh Mercer Blain, head of the English department; and Joseph Preis, affiliated with the Whitney National Bank. Dunn and McCann had previously won a unanimous decision over representatives of Spring Hill college in a recent debate held on the same subject. They also engaged In no-decision contests with Louisiana Tech and with Stephen Rodi and Alton Deßlanc, of the White society, before the members council of the Association of Commerce. Deßlanc and Rodi, who dehated the affirmative side of the question in all their debates, won 2-1 decisions over Spring Hill and Maryville college of Maryville, Tennessee. They participated in the intersociety debate at the Association of Commerce luncheon. The debate in which Rodi and Deßlanc participated with Spring Hill was held in Mobile. Following a meeting of the members of the Edwards Douglas White society last Monday in the student publications' office, it was announced by C. Cyril Broussard, retiring president, that Milton J. Mc- Govern, junior in the college of arts and sciences, was elected president. Other officers are A. J. O'Donnell, vice-president; Harold Ainsworth, secretary; Edward F. Wegmann, treasurer; and Matthew Braniff, sergeant-at-arms. Amateur Detective Ensnared Into "Swell Gag" by Ranchites If you want a real honest-togoodness detective, don't send for Dick Tracy, Philo Vance, or some other modern Sherlock Holmes. Just come around to the Texas ranch and look up Clay Boudreaux, the ranch house robber chaser. Saturday night Eddie LaCour and Clyde Caillouet decided to play a trick on Clyde's roommates, Clay Boudreaux and Ellis Breaux. Leaving a note to the effect that Clyde was to spend the night on a party they messed the room up and went to Eddie's room to spend the night. However, the mosquitoes bothered them so they got up to light a "smudge." By chance they happened to slam the door of Clyde's room just as Clay Boudreaux waa getting in. Hearing the noise he ran upstairs. The partially opened door and the messed uk clothes suggested only one thing to him: The ranch house robber, who has been stealing clothes lately, was on the loose. Clay, being unarmed, ran downstairs to watch the sole exit, and while on guard his suspicions were magnified by the sounds that La- Cour and Clyde had gone back to bed. After a time Ellis Breaux came along and Clay went up with him, not telling him of the incident in order that the "burglar" might not be alarmed. When they reached the hall, it was filled with smoke from LaCour's "smudge" and Kreaux went about looking for the fire, Clay told Ellis the story, and they both went in search of reinforcements.They rounded up Roland Romero, Ralph Newell (these were down for the handicap games) and the nightwatchman,Alumnae Plan To Give Honor To Faculties Honoring the Jesuit fathers for their first quarter century of educational work at Loyola university, the alumnae association of Loyola will give a banquet on May 16 at 7 p. m. in the Mirror Room of the Jung hotel, according to an announcement by Miss Helen C.

Dental Student Is Rewarded For Work With Amorous Hug The painless dentist of the Loyola clinic will get reward for his labor if he is careful and considerate in treating his clients. Or at least, that is what the senior dentists are saying after witnessing the episode which recently occurred in the clinic. "Scorchie", prospective graduate and future doctor, has the dentist's conversational technique 'which, with the help of a little cocaine, has placed him in the clinic "spotlight." Some of his feUow students claim that Eddie's gift of gab is as effective as the recently discovered de-sensitizer. It goes the new invention one better; it is effective even while extracting teeth. The embryonic dentist had an aged patient in the chair and was preparing to extract several teeth. When he injected the anasthesia, he had his subject so interested that the point of the hypodermic needle was not felt. Moving about with delicate precision Eddie carefully pulled out two teeth. The patient sat tense expecting to feel pain. "That's all," 'Doctor' Driscoll announced. "What? Are they all out?" The lady in the chair exclaimed, and before the young dentist could say "yes" his patient was hugging him and affectionately showing her gratitude for his painless dentistry. After the patient departed Eddie waa surrounded by a group of inquisitives who had witnessed the scene. They wanted to know what had happened. "She kissed me," Eddie explained, "because I was the first dentist that never hurt her."
