TALKS ON BUSINESS TO BE GIVEN IN UNION TOMORROW

The second vocational lecture will be given in the Living Room of the Union tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. Howard Elliott '81, T. W. Lamont '92, H. S. Dennison '99, H. B. Gill '13, M. B. A. '14, and possibly T. N. Vail Hon. '15 will speak on "Business as a Vocation." The speakers are all connected with the Business School as members of the Visiting Committee, Lecturers, or Alumni.

Despite the fact that more Harvard men enter business than any other field, of the 118 first-year students in the Business School only 17 are graduates of the University, and of the 40 second-year students only seven are graduates. In the second-year class the 40 students come from 32 colleges and 20 states and two foreign countries.

There is a larger percentage of men from the far west in the Business School than in any other department of the University. There are, moreover, more men in the School from the middle west than from the following states combined: New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont.

Business School men are found in a wide variety of businesses, according to a canvass made by the Business Alumni Association last year. Manufacturing is clearly the most popular, appealing to more men than any other two fields. Accounting and statistics, banking and brokerage, and real estate and insurance are close together in number, each with approximately one-half the number of men that take up manufacturing. The other callings with a considerable representation are in this order: railroads, advertising and selling, "efficiency engineering," teaching, statistical work, local utilities, law, foreign trade, printing and publishing, chamber of commerce work, and lumbering.
