ARMY TO MODEL BUSINESS SCHOOL ON HARVARD LINES

Nine army officers, under orders from Secretary of War John W. Weeks to undergo a two-year course of study in the Business School, are included in the incoming class of sixty students who begin, work at the opening of the second half-year in the Business School today.

The purpose of the War Department in detailing this group for study in the University is to form the nucleus of an Army Business School in which these men will serve as instructors. The school, which will attempt to introduce modern scientific business methods into the army, will probably be organized upon their completion of the two-year course in Cambridge.

The selection by the War Department of the Harvard School of Business Administration to lay the foundations of its own Business School is a distinct triumph for the University, since it means that the novel methods of business instruction, inaugurated here, have received the approval of the United States Government.

Five majors, three captains, and a first lieutenant, representing six departments of the army, constitute the group. They are: Major Napoleon W. Riley, Quartermaster Corps; Major Edgar C. Jones, Medical Department; Major Samuel S. Creighton, Medical Department; Major Harry K. Rutherford, Ordnance Department; Major Walter R. Weaver, Air Service; Captain Edmund de T. Ellis, Quartermaster Corps; Captain Lawrence L. Clayton, Signal Corps; Captain G. C. Irwin; and Lientenant Lowell A. Elliott, Chemical Warfare Service.
