ALL KINDS OF DRAWING INSTRUMENTS AND MATERIALS HAS WELL’S BOOK STORE i PHONE 14 DOES BIG BUSINESS WANT TO EMPLOY COLLEGE MEN? A question that should interest a great many of the students of this college is discussed in the July issue of the Atlantic Monthly. Does Big Business want to employ college men ? This article is written by a man who is employed in a large business and who has spent a great part of his time in trying to place col lege men in businesses. As a general rule executives do not wish to employ college men. The outstanding crit icism thy offer is that college men desire to be advanced faster than his own development and the exigency of the business will permit. From the standpoint of the executive no educa tional training whatever offers an ac ceptable substitute for a reasonable period of actual work in a business or ganization. The reasonable period of actual work in business means at least five years. The college student ex pects to become an executive in less time than this. If the college student would spend these five years in hon est work and if he gives unusual serv ice he is sure to reap an unusual re ward. A great deal of the irritation Big Business feels with the college man has to do with his manners. x “Exec utives easily excuse crudeness in a man who comes up from the ranks, but they are still very generally fill ed with the notion that a college education connotes gentility.” Many self-made business executives in one and the same breath depreciate a col lege education and exaggerate the, benefits it confers. The article not only shows why bus iness executives are not over anxious to employ college men, but it also gives the objections of the college stu dents themselves to big business cor porations. The student who intends working in a large organization would be well repaid for reading this article and learning the main objections Big Busines has to the college graduate.
