It was not an ordinary meeting, a L-a.se of friends happening to come J together at the same corner on a j Saturday afternoon, for these three young North Carolina men had not seen one another for two years? . since the early autumn of 1917.

So. when the three met again last : ;iutumn it was certain, even before ; a word was spoken, that the choice ! of roads was still open for argument.

Build Men and Women as Well as Products. These are the fundamental thoughts back of the new and broader vision held by many large manufacturers throughout the country, in promulgating a closer relationship between industry and labor. Vast sums of money are being spent by industrial enterprises for the welfare of their employes, but perhaps nowhere in the world is there a concern doing more for its employees than The Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of Akron which now has 33,000 on its Akron payroll. As illustrative of this company's attitude towards its workers, Goodyear Hall, the new two and a half million dollar recreational institution and industrial university of the commar.v, will be formally dedicated on Saturday, April 17. It is sail to be one- of the most pvetcntiou; !. u:i-.!ever erected by i corK-ern solely ior the welfare of lis en:plc> oes. The principal feature of th > new buiidinir- is the Establishment of Goodyears Industrial I diversity. With a faculty of 117 college professors it*already has an enrollment; of -1,700. The university lias (>."> j class rooms, four large laboratories j and large assembly and lecture i rooms. AH forms of study are em- \ braced ir/ the curriculum and rudimentary grade school classes and , Americanization classes for the j foreiirn-born, to standardized col- j legiate post .graduate courses for j those desiring to round out incom-i pleted college careers.
