DOWN TO BUSINESS

With the sending out of questionnaires to the members of the class of 1930 the Alumni Placement Service assumes definite proportions. The data to be gathered from the answers to its questions will be valuable in carrying the avowed intention of the service to afford men opportunities in the line of work which they choose. The completion of the survey of available placements, undertaken several months ago, will allow a start in that direction.

In taking the task of providing employment aid and advice to graduating seniors out of the hands of the Student Employment Office, the service has taken a forward step. In an organization already occupied to its fullest capacity with the problem of supplying part-time and summer employment to the self-supporting undergraduate there is little time and energy left to devote to seniors. The new service leaves the advisers with free hands.

In further respects the service makes an advance of benefit to the perplexed graduate. Gratuitous and expert advice, the product of thorough study, will be his. The provision of a board with intimate knowledge of the available positions and actual contacts with the business and professional worlds will bring the matter of advising and placing seniors to an effective reality.
