The second of a series of vocational talks arranged by the Committee on the Choice of Vocations will be given by Mr. Gerard Swope, President of the General Electric Company, who will speak on "Business as a Career" tonight at 7.30 in the Living Room of the Union. The meeting is open to members of the University and their guests.
Mr. Swope is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and was formerly vice-president of the Western Electric Company in charge of sales. While touring the Orient recently on sales work for that corporation he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun by the Emperor of Japan. In the spring of 1922 he was appointed President of the General Electric Company.

Mr. Curtiss, who has successfully devoted his entire time to the banking business since leaving college, will give conferences from 3 to 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Mr. White is giving appointments from 10 to 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, and from 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
While these conferences are intended primarily for those Seniors who wish advice about choosing a vocation, any student in the University is at liberty to request an appointment. Blue books are posted in 3 University Hall for this purpose.
