Putnam, New Personnel Relations Director, to Continue as Consultant on Careers-Office Files are Open to All

While no further letters will be mailed to upper classmen calling their attention to the office of the Consultant on Careers in Wadsworth House until next September, the office will remain open through the close of the academic year and its services will be at the disposal of all members of the University, A. L. Putnam '20, stated yesterday.

Mr. Putnam, whose appointment as director of the newly established office of Personnel Relations was announced recently, will continue in his capacity as consultant. R. T. Sharpe '27, acting head of student employment, will work with Putnam, as assistant consultant, at the same time retaining his present position.

The office places at the disposal of undergraduates a file of material relating to the various career and professions. Questionnaires have been sent to certain members of the faculty, doctors, lawyers, clergymen, and graduates in other branches of business or the professions. These men have specified on the questionnaires the nature of their activity during each working half-hour of the two-week period, and are willing to amplify their views in personal interviews with undergraduates. Unsigned, these records specify such matters as salary, congeniality of surroundings, amount of "pull" needed to enter upon the given career, and in some cases contain extensive comments on each day's activities. The files, Putnam states, may be consulted by undergraduates at any time.
