8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Study, travel, and work are the fundamentals upon which every man's education should be based, Whiting Williams, labour consultant and author, who is lecturing this week at the Graduate School of Business Administration, told a CRIMSON reporter yesterday.
"I hope," said Williams, "that the young man in college today will use a sort of trinity of tools for his education--first book knowledge that is derived from campus and quadrangle; second, overalls in vacation work which will help the student to get the feel of modern business and industries; and third, steamships by which, in vacations either by working his passage or by other methods, the student can get the feel of Latin-America or Europe.
"Throughout the world today everything is becoming more scientific, with the result that there is a necessity to study the forces of nature and of human nature. More and more the entire life of our time is being captured by forces of business and modern industries, and it is to understand these changes and movements one should have a first-hand acquaintanceship with industrial conditions."
In the past few years, Williams worked as laborer in American and Europe to get the laborers' point of view, and has recently been investigating problems relative to the fruit industry in South America.
