Training Program
This Program is designed to develop young men
for careers in life insurance • sales and sales man
agement. It provides an initial training period of 3
months (including 3 weeks at a Home Office School)
before the men move into full sales work.
Those trainees who are interested in and who are
found qualified for management responsibility are
assured of ample opportunity to move on to such
work in either our field offices or in the Home Office
after an initial period in sales.
The Connecticut Mutual is a 115-year-old com
pany with 520,000 policyholder-members and five
billion dollars of life insurance in force. Ag
gressive expansion plans provide unusual oppor
tunities for the limited number of men accepted
each year. /

ers all they way back to Washing
ton, D.C. because of a lack of
available seats on regularly sched
uled airlines.
An example of such circum
stance occurred during SCONA III
in 1956 when Senator Hubert
Humphrey agreed to speak at the
conference, said Spencer. An
nouncements of his plans to speak
at the conference were printed and
circulated along with the regular
SCONA program for that year.
Then, the senator discovered a
previous agreement to speak in
Minnesota which was scheduled
very close to the A&M conference.
His flight schedule didn’t allow
enough time to reach College Sta
tion in time for the SCONA con
ference.
The SCONA III transportation
committee promptly went out on
a limb and offered to provide a
plane for the senator which it did
not have. Humphrey agreed on the
condition that the students also
provide transportation back to
Washington on the same day that
he arrived.
The senator was flown down on
a twin-engine plane rented in
Washington, D.C. One engine
failed during the trip, leaving the
plane useless for carrying a full
load on the return.
It became virtually impossible,
due to weather conditions and ar
rangement difficulties for the com
mittee to comply with its promise
to return the senator to Washing
ton as earlier agreed.
However, through the last-min
ute assistance of an alumnus in
Dallas who conveniently had sway
with an airline arrangements were
made for the senator’s passage
back to Washington, and the com
mittee complied with its promise.
This was just one of many simi
lar situations handled through
split-second arrangements by the
SCONA transportation committee
in past years.
The New York City Health De
partment has estimated that in
one year alone the city saved
nearly $20 million in patient care
plus an unestimated amount in
hospital construction thanks to
effective new drugs for the treat
ment of tuberculosis.
