HARVARD CLUB OF NEW YORK STARTS GRADUATE OFFICE

Lee Mason McTurnan '28 was approved yesterday by the Board of Managers of the Harvard Club of New York City to head the employment office which will be established there under the auspices of the Harvard Alumni Placement Service of Cambridge. McTurnan is to take office about April 1. The board at the same time officially approved the foundation of such an office, which had been investigated by a special committee.

The new bureau is to be supported by the recently raised sum of $10,000, which will cover its cost of operation for two years. At the end of that time the central office in Cambridge is expected to carry on without further assistance. The existence of such an employment office in New York City will mark a definite branching out of the Cambridge bureau, which until now has been restricted almost entirely to finding jobs for Boston graduates.

Exact details of the relationship between McTurnan and the central office have not yet been worked out. One of the chief objectives of the Harvard Placement Service, according to its director, J. F. Dwinell '02, should be to give work to seniors and alumni in all parts of the country. In New York City particularly, where it is estimated that over 8000 graduates make their home, more placements should be made than in any other place, but up to now the Cambridge office has had few business connections there. The New York representative in his college days was secretary of the Lampoon.
