Thaler, Canter, Helfrich, Zacharski, O’Conor, Hemelt and Horka disputed the freedom and formation of the will, clinched for the Seminar a prominent place in the activities at Loyola. Accounting Academy Active Another activity to prove its worth this year was the adolescent Academy of Accounting and Commerce, which was formed slightly more than a year ago by two present seniors, Jack Helfrich and Earl Schmidt. Under the direction of President Paul Prosser and its co- moderators, the Academy had unusual success with its series of three lecture-socials. The accountants were fortunate in obtaining Mr. Charles W. Smith of the Public Utilities Commission, who spoke on “Utility Rates,” Mr. Edwin J.
