Despite growing sentiment in favor of graduate work as a means of obtaining satisfactory employment, the Alumni Placement Bureau still has a great chance to fit the 'mere' college graduate to suitable employment. Specialized training is of little use to those who in actual practice fail to reach the heights of business procedure. Those who consider a graduate school degree as an open sesame to responsible positions should remember that the rise to such positions is governed by forces created in earlier training, and in college.

But the charge compares perfectly with the vague sentiment of college men, based on a few proven instances, that responsible positions are frequently abused for personal profit. The accusation obviously cannot be denied, but the proposed cure is singularly superficial...
