It is fair to say, however, that not all of these schools teach their subjects in the large and intellectual manner which is required for the professionalizing of business, the proper task of the business school. Yale has recently added a business school which gives a graduate year to follow the three years at Sheffield, the courses being modelled directly on those of the University.
