PRESS PUBLISHES NEW BOOKS

The University Press has announced two new publications, "John Jacob Astor", by Kenneth Wiggins Porter, research assistant in Business History at the Business School, and "The Proverb", by Professor Archer Taylor of the University of Chicago.

"John Jacob Astor", in two volumes, is the first of a series of studies in business history, which are being edited by N. S. B. Gras, professor of Business History at the Business School. This work not only chronicles the scope of Astor's business career but brings out those elements of personality which led to his unprecedented success.
