Speakers at Forum Warn of Few Government Openings

Well over 100 people gathered in Kirkland Junior Common Room last night heard speakers at the tenth career conference turn over the possibilities of "government" as a profession, and finally decide that like almost all the other careers discussed in the current series, it is a tough nut to crack.

Charles R. Cherington '35, Secretary of the Graduate School of Public Administration, directed his attention to the immediate job possibilities of the Federal Civil Service.

He warned that without a civil service ticket and a well-established professional status, even the lowest positions are hard to obtain.

Steering away from any discussion of federal administrative posts, Henry L. Shattuck '01, Fellow of Harvard College an member of the Massachusetts House for Representatives, spoke on futures in state and city government.
