Harvard Leads In Executives

The crew may have lost to Vesper, and the Government Department may be on sabbatical, but Harvard is still the best college in the country in one thing: producing corporate executives and directors.

According to the annual Poor's Register, published today by Standard and Poor's, 4,135 business executives reported attending Harvard. Yale was a badly beaten second, some 1,406 executives behind.

Princeton and Penn are third and fourth in the ratings, followed by New York University, Michigan, Cornell, Columbia, Illinois, and M.I.T.

50,995 executives reported attending colleges this year, as opposed to 48,193 in 1964. About a third of the executives listed no college, about the same as last year.
