NATION'S CONUNDRUM, TRUSTS

The first of four lectures by Professor E. Dana Durand, of the University of Minnesota, given under the auspices of the Department of Economics, will be delivered in Emerson D this evening at 8 o'clock. The general subject of the four talks will be, "What Shall We do with the Trusts?" and today's special topic, "The Necessity of Regulation, or Prohibition."

Professor Durand is a deep student of financial affairs and matters dealing with the Trusts. From 1900 to 1909, he served as Assistant Commissioner of Corporations at Washington, taking a prominent part at that time in investigations of the Trusts. He was also active in conducting the government suits which resulted in the demolition of the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trusts. From 1910 to 1913, he was director of the Census, resigning on the advent of the present administration. His lectures will be open to the public.
