COLLEGE MEN AND BUSINESS

It is a fact worthy of note, in these days when the need for college graduates in our industrial life is so often emphasized, that about a fourth of the men in each class that is graduated from Harvard College enter upon a business career. For these men, as well as for the other members of the class, it seems to us that it would be a good plan to invite some man prominent in industry to speak to the Seniors on the demands of the business world on college men today--to tell them what they can do by their own power, as a result of their training here, and by the force of their example, to raise the tone of our industrial life. Such an address, it seems to us, could point out in a practical way to the men who have been here for four years, how they could apply the principles and ideals they have learned here in the business world which they are about to enter--in much the same way as president Roosevelt pointed out to us in the Union, some months ago, how college men could and should set better standards and higher ideals in our political life.

It may be too late to arrange for such an address this year, but we think that some practical final talk on this general plan ought to be arranged toward the close of each year for the graduating class.
