Zamelfl Neecffzam fade Something New Has Been Added l l There is no doubt that Everett N. Case, dean of the Harvard School of Business Administration and Colgate's incoming president, will fit into the pattern of tradition and philosophy which have been in ex- istence since 1819. Mr. Case is a graduate of Princeton, has done graduate work at Harvard and holds a degree from Cambridge University. Only 40, he is the second youngest chief executive in Co1gate's history. In the best Colgate tradition, Mr. Case is a Baptist, but unlike Dr. Cutten, he is a Democrat. An authority on monetary history, he is interested in the problems of dairy farmers and international relations.
