BUSINESS SCHOOL DOORS MAY CLOSE TO SENIORS

That many of the members of this year's Senior Class who had been planning to enter the Graduate School of Administration next fall for post-graduate study will be refused admittance to the school, was strongly hinted by Assistant Dean Neil H. Borden G. '22, of the Business School, yesterday.

According to Mr. Borden, large numbers of the 100 Seniors who have announced their intention of entering the Business School have failed to make any application for admittance, thinking that their College degree would entitle them automatically to entrance to the school. And as the quota of 335 set for next year's first-year class at the Business School has already been largely filled by outside applicants it is possible that a number of graduates of the University may be turned away next fall in favor of graduates from other colleges.

In explaining the situation, Mr. Borden said:

"We were surprised recently to learn from some Seniors in Harvard College that they were withholding their applications to the Business School upon the supposition that special consideration was given to Harvard College graduates in entering the Harvard graduate schools. These men had thought it was not necessary for them to give personal attention to the new rule, regarding the limitation on numbers which has been announced for next fall on the part of the Business School.

"While we are very anxious to have as many Harvard men in the Business School as possible, we have sent out notices on several different occasions that applications should be handed in early because it will be impossible for us to deviate from the rule that preference for admission will be based on priority of application, provided the scholastic requirements for admission are met."
