To those interested in a man's opportunity to work his way, in whole or in part, through the University, the statistics given out by the Employment Office are decidedly encouraging. The office recommends students and graduates as tutors and for such work as is available. In comparison with 1914-15, the figures show an increase of 29 men employed, but with a decrease of $5,297.86 earned. Including the $7,000 earned by students employed as coaches, clerks, ticket takers, etc., by the H. A. A., students earned $85,120.76 during 1915-16. Of the total of 618 men who secured employment, 411 worked in term-time and 207 in the summer. Through the aid of the Business School and the Harvard Club of New York, 56 men secured positions for the summer. These 56 are included in the total of 207 who obtained summer employment.

In all, $32,506.32 was earned during term-time as against $50,439.30 in 1914-15, while $45,614.44 was earned in the summer against $39,979.32 during the corresponding period of 1914-15. The average amount earned by each man was $126.41 as compared to $170.50 in the previous year. The amounts earned by individual men in term-time vary from 73 cents to $857.50, while those earned during the summer vary from $1.72 to $352.73.
