WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING FIELDS NEWS OF INTEREST IN : OPEN REALTY STUDY COURSE Northwestern University In- troduces Special Study Recent Transfers Transfers of fine residence properties featured the week's real estate trans- fers. A number of these indicate a change of ownership of some of the finest residences along the north shore and are the culmination of several weeks of negotiations. The Economist Northwestern University School of | listings include a number of these: Commerce announces a special group of courses in the field of land econ- omics and real estate. This curriculum rests upon the belief that the proper utilization and development of our land resources--agricultural, mineral, forest, as well as urban, industrial, |in the County Clerk's The Rea K. Pinkerton property in Glencoe, situated in the Nutt Clearing stbdisision, lot 2, block 3, was pur- chased for an indicated $47,500 by Homer C. Chapin. : Elmer F. Wiebolt sold his property division, in- mercantile and residential--constitutes | cluding part of lot 18, August 1, to one of the most important concerns of | Fred Hueschel for an indicated, $35,- society. Classes started Wednesday, September 23 "No phase of business activity touches the public welfare more vitally nor has greater need for an intelligent understanding of sound principles of organization. management, public rela- tions and private finance," says Dean Ralph E. Heilman. "The vocation of the real estate operator is rapidly assuming a dis- tinctly professional character, as is evidenced by the fact that many states have recently passed laws requiring examination or conformity to certain standards upon the part of those who wish to engage in this field of activity. The National Association of Real Estate boards is urging such a meas- ure for all states, and the same body is recommending a through program of university education in land econ- omics and real estate." The curriculum in land economics | and real estate at Northwestern uni- versity is designed to give the student an understanding of, first, general prin- ciples equally applicable to all busi- | ness; second, the fundamental econ- omic laws regarding land and its vari- ous uses, and the valuations arising from these uses; third, the relationship of proper real estate development and promotion to community welfare; fourth, approved practice and techni- | que in the field of real estate opera- | tions. These courses are not simply "lec- ture courses," but require a consider- able amount of reading and home study. Instead of following the practice of miscellaneous lectures given by a large number of individuals, each 1 Teenie" will be definitely in charge of 3 one instructor. All of the instructors are members of the regular faculty, or of the state of the Institute for Research in Land Economics and Pub- lic Utilities, which has recently be- come affiliated with Northwestern uni- versity. This group of courses should prove especially helpful and valuable to real estate brokers, subdividers, salesmen, lawyers, investors, those who are identified with institutions which make loans on real estate, and property own- ers, Dean Heilman belives.
