RESTRICTED ROLLS

The Business School seems to be following the course of wisdom in limiting the number of the entering class for next year. Of course the present size of the facilities across the river directly necessitated the decision but there are other considerations which might well impose restriction on too rapid growth. Sound growth takes time as well as careful direction and the business of assembling a faculty of capable men cannot be carried out in a year or two. There must be time for seasoning and the consolidation of present gains before a program of continuous expansion may be looked for.

The Harvard Business School is admittedly one of the pioneers in its field and must blaze much of its own trail. Time and opportunity to test out its methods of instruction and the material which it treats must be given to those in charge before demands are made of them for quantity production. The day will come when the Harvard Business School will have to interest itself in quantity as well as quality, but if time is given it at the start to lay a sound foundation, it will not have to fear for the quality of its instruction even though future years may find the number of students multiplied many times.
