DWINELL ISSUES CALL TO SENIORS DESIRING WORK

In their morning's mail today the entire Senior class as well as all out-of-course students will receive from the Alumni Placement Service in Wads-worth House occupational questionnaires and explanatory pamphlets describing the work of the office, and urging the men to make use of it.

Last year the office sent out similar questionnaires, of which 90 per cent were returned, and it is hoped that this year a perfect response will be obtained. Since many men last year did not return the blanks because they were undecided as to an occupation, the placement office wishes to state that this is not a hindrance and that, all men decided or not, are urged to reply as soon as possible.

The Alumni Placement Office, which is now in charge of J. F. Dwinell '02 was created by the Harvard Alumni Association and the Associated Harvard Clubs a year ago last September for the purpose of aiding graduating men and alumni of Harvard College to obtain employment after graduation. Men connected with the professional schools, as well as those who are entering the teaching profession are not served by Dwinell's office but are aided by their own schools.

Few Positions Open

Due to hard conditions in the business world at present, there are fewer jobs to be had than is usually the case, and for this reason men are urged to lose no time in consulting the Placement Service, which can arrange interviews and consultations with business men in all branches of occupation, with only ample time as a requisite. Beginning in February recruiters arrive in Cambridge, and continue to come until June.

Last year 211 men registered with the Placement Service and of this number 73 were placed, while 44 placed themselves. The men who registered were provided with over 700 contacts with business men representing approximately 500 jobs. Many employers have four of five jobs to offer but these are filled with those who register early in the year, while those who delay may miss numberless opportunities for employment.
