Traffic management and Latin American Markets and Trade will be the subjects for the Leatherbee free Lectures given this year for the third time at the School of Business Administration.
W. J. Cunningham, J. J. Hill Professor of Transportation, and others will lecture in the course on Traffic Management, which aims to assist men who are to become traffic managers of industrial concerns, or who intend to enter the traffic department of railroad service. It is intended also to acquaint business men in general with the important relations between the railroads and the public. Several lectures in this course on the principles of rate making will be given by E. J. Rich '87, Commerce Counsel for the Associated Industries of Massachusetts.
The other course, given by G. B. Roorbach, Professor of Foreign Trade, is on Latin-American markets and trade and is given for the first time this year under the Leatherbee bequest, in place of the course on Retail Store Management given last year.
This course plans to bring out the characteristics of Latin-America, including the West Indies and Mexico, the economic and financial conditions, the probable future developments of industry and trade, the organization for carrying on trade within the countries considered, and the application of foreign trade methods to the specific conditions of the markets studied.
These course are open to the public without charge. Men who are properly qualified to undertake a systematic study of the subjects involved and who are prepared to do the work of the course may be enrolled by application to the office of the School, 17 University Hall.
Classes will meet from September 25, 1923, to January 22, 1924, those in Traffic Management on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:30 to 5 o'clock and those in Latin American Markets from 11 to 12 o'clock on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays.
