Mt. Vernon University
Income $60 Monthly,
Minister Tells FTC
The entire income of Mount Ver
non University, 2301 Calvert street
N.W., from students in the years
1942 to 1944 inclusive, was never
more than $60 a month, the Rev.
Samuel L. Lacey, jr., who kept the
I books of the institution, testified
yesterday at a Federal Trade Com
mission hearing.
Mr. Lacey is One of the re
spondents in an FTC complaint
against the institution, alleging it
is not a bona-fide university, that
j it sells honorary degrees for $50
each and that, while not allowed to
issue degrees here because of lack
of academic accreditation, it issues
them from Fort Worth under a
Texas charter granted an institu
tion of the same name.
The witness was asked if he meant
the establishment's income was $60
a student.
“No,” he answered, “$60 a month
from all the students.”
None of the persons operating the
university was paid any salary, he
said, except Philip B. Davis of Mount
Rainier, Md., who was paid $150 a
month for a few months, but could
not live on it and had to return to
his job at the Library of Congress.
Dr. Walter A. Leas, a dental sur
geon who owns the building at 2301
Calvert street N.W., in which his of
fice is located, testified he had never
charged any rent for the space in
the building used by the university.
Dr. Leas was made president of the
university when it was chartered in
the District. He estimated the space
he had donated W'ould rent at from
$200 to $500 a month.
lji . xjvus saiu ne anew very juue
about the operation of the univer
sity. He signed no degrees, he said,
and knew nothing about the issu
ance of the Texas degrees. But, he
said, commencement exercises held
at the Church of the Brethren at
Twelfth and Pennsylvania avenue
N.W. ‘'must have been under the

The respondents, who have been
without counsel in the hearings,
which started several months ago,
were represented yesterday by Rob
ert H. McNeill and T. Bruce Fuller.
John R. O'Daniel of Fort Worth,
who, according to testimony, signed
the Texas degrees, was represented
by P. W, Seward. ;
