Mr. Straus, who is Chairman of the Committee on Employment of the Harvard Club of New York City, tells a significant story of a brilliant college graduate who was offered a position involving statistical work in a large plant. Once at work, "Dean, the graduate in question, showed a flash of real brilliancy in analyzing the operations of two departments. The unfortunate factor was that in getting...
