BUSINESS ASSOCIATION MEETS

The first general meeting of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Business began last night, when some 40 or 50 visiting delegates from schools of business all over the country were welcomed to Cambridge by President Lowell at an informal smoker in the Trophy Room of the Union.

The Association is composed of men engaged in the teaching of business in American universities, and they are getting together to compare notes on methods and materials of instruction in the principles of commerce. They will be in conference today and tomorrow.

This morning at 10 o'clock a first business session will be held, after which Willard E. Hotchkiss, director of business education at the University of Minnesota, will speak on the basic elements in the teaching of business and their proper balance in a collegiate business school curriculum. After this and the other addresses, the meeting will be thrown open to discussion.

The members will be the guests of the School of Business Administration at luncheon in the Union. In the afternoon, Nathan Isaacs of the Business School will speak on the teaching of law in the collegiate schools of business, and Herman Schneider, Dean of the College of Engineering and Commerce at the University of Cincinnati, will take up the coordination of engineering and business courses. Tonight the University will be host to the conferees at dinner at the Harvard Club of Boston.

Tomorrow morning Leon C. Marshall, Dean of the School of Commerce and Administration at the University of Chicago, will read a paper on the relation of the collegiate school of business to the secondary school system. Dean Marshall is the chairman of the Professional Executive Committee of the Association. The conference will hold a second business session on Saturday afternoon and then adjourn.
