This fine natural stone is so beautiful and well adapted to building purposes and is so economical that more stone buildings throughout the country are constructed of it than of all other stones. Walls of this beautiful stone require little care. Indiana Limestone buildings acquire a soft, mellow tone which adds to their beauty. In the building shown above, random jointing has been used with delightful effect. As the years pass, the charm of these walls will increase. We will gladly send you a brochure showing fine examples of collegiate architecture in Indiana Limestone, illustrating the effects obtainable by the use of one or another of the various grades of Indiana Limestone. A reading of this booklet will enable you to follow your own institution's building program with greater under standing and interest.

B ut T o d ay m a ny men attain prosperity in today there is a new factor in business prog ress. T he men who are succeeding while thev are still young are the men who have sensed its development. Business has made enormous strides in the last decade. T he mere specialist can no longer hold his own against the executive who is familiar with all departments of business. T he suc cessful man m u st understand the re lation of each d e p a r t m e nt of his busi ness to every other d e p a r t m e n t. He must understand the relation of his business to every other business. T he problem of making this knowl edge available to business men has been a difficult one. T he universities have done w h at thev could. T h ey have established business schools with courses covering every fieldof business. But w h at about the man who is already actively engaged in business — t he man who knows there are weak spots in his knowledge, but cannot possibly take the time to attend one of the university schools of business? Nineteen years ago the late Joseph French Johnson, Dean of the School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance of New York University, realized the gravity of this problem. He con ceived the plan of a faculty including teachers and business both college men, and a Course so arranged t h at any man might follow it effectively in his own home. T h us began the .Alexander Hamilton Institute. In nineteen years more than 300,- 000 business men have enrolled. Over 4 0% of them are college men, and 38,000 are presidents of successful businesses. systematic Why are 4 0% college men? T he answer is simple.
