...should also be of a good deal of interest to any who are on the fence of indecision over their future occupations. What these men have said comes as a surprise to the many of us who have not known exactly what the Business School was doing. We have heard rumors now and then that it was giving its men a splendid training and, last year, we heard a somewhat vague story of the training of secretaries for Chambers of Commerce.

Well, believe me or not, as you choose, on those occasions I heard a most prodigious amount of well-nigh inconceivable 'rot'--no other word describes it,--there emitted. Progressiveism--gone mad, we in the United States would consider it; they call it Radicalism. To my thought it was twaddle. And it wasn't the talking of it bothered me, it was the applause...
