HOLBROOK IN NEW BUSY SCHOOL POST

Heads Replacement Service Bureau in Wright's Absence

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Assistant Dean Luther G. Holbrook has been given the responsibility of placing Business School students and alumni in war industries, it was announced yesterday. He is handling the duties of Edmund F. Wright '24, who is now on leave of absence with the WPB in Washington.

According to Holbrook, so many Business School students are in training for commissions in the Army and Navy that the work of the office will be concerned primarily with graduates of the School and with the placement of the members of the retraining program. Is addition, he has assumed the position of secretary-treasurer of the Alumni Association.

Wright, who has been in Washington for some time, had expected to take over his duties here in September. Pressure on the WPB, however, was so great that Donald Nelson felt that he could not be released.
