B-School Choose Humphreys As Annual Dickinson Speaker

Harry Elmer Humphreys will deliver the annual Dickinson Lectures at the University School of Business Administration this spring, Business School authorities announced yesterday.

Humphreys, chairman of the board of the United States Rubber Company, will speak on some phase of accounting in business.

The lectures are the result of a gift from the accounting firm of Price, Waterhouse and Company in honor of a former partner, Sir Arthur Lowes Dickinson. The terms of the gift state that the lecturer should be "a man outstanding in accounting."

Humphreys was previously an employee of Price, Waterhouse and Company, and until 1948 was head of the U.S. Rubber finance committee.
