WHARTON SCHOOL HEAD LAUDS BUSINESS PLANT

"The plant of the Harvard Business School has no superior that I know of anywhere," Professor J. H. Willits of the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, said to a CRIMSON reporter last night. Professor Willits is the head of the Department of Industry at Wharton School, as well as the head of the industrial Research Work being done there. As one of this country's outstanding authorities in the field of industrial relations, labor, and production, he is giving two lectures this week to the first year class of the Harvard Business School and is presenting cases to the second year men.

Praises Business School

Professor Willits is particularly interested in the education of men who will later be handling business positions which furnish problems of industrial relations. "The position of Harvard in the academic world is such that a member of the faculty of any other university must always follow developments here," he observed when asked his opinion of Harvard's new Business School developments. "This Business School and all others are engaged in developing a professional education for business after the models or on the basis of the experience of the law and medical schools in their respective fields. The new buildings and the most exceptional business library that Harvard has should assist materially in contributing to the development of a professional spirit among the students.

Lacks Golf Course Alone

"There is nothing similar to Harvard's magnificent business center. No other American university has anything like it. It is complete in every detail and surpassingly beautiful. Am I being facetious when I say that all it lacks is a golf course?"

"An interesting contrast is furnished by the graduate and undergraduate business student," said Professor Willits "The Wharton School is an undergraduate school of business primarily. We have a two year graduate course in which men enroll who have graduated from an Arts College, but our chief attention is devoted to those who expect to enter business life after four years of college work. In consequence we have to recognize in our curriculum not only the business subjects, but also those 'educational universals' which should be in the possession of every educated man. I have found many experiments being tried at the Harvard Business School with a great deal of interest, as they will help us solve our own problems at the University of Pennsylvania."
