FLEXNER, HARVARD CRITIC, VISITS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dr. Abraham Flexner, author of "Universities: American, English, and German," in which he criticized American universities and Harvard in particular for the teaching of "rubbish" in their business courses, was a visitor at the Harvard Business School yesterday. As far as could be learned he has not modified his views and will probably restate them in a speech to be given at the Old South Forum on Sunday afternoon.

Flexner's chief complaint is that the business schools of the country are trying to short-circuit experience and to raise business to the dignity of a profession. He suggested that Harvard's motto be changed to "Veritas et Ars Venditoria."
