Radcliffe and Business School Merge Management Training Study Plans

Radcliffe will merge its Management Training program with a similar course of study at the University School of Business Administration, Stanley F. Teele, Dean of the Business School, and Radcliffe President Wilbur K. Jordan announced-yesterday. The new joint course of study will be called the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Business Administration.

The two officials also announced the formation of a new joint policy-making board to ease administrative problems arising from the confusing association of the two schools in the past.

Dudley Meek, director of the program, Franklin E. Folts, professor of Industrial Management at the Business School, and Radcliffe Dean of Instruction Wilam A. Kerby-Miller are the other members of the board.

Under the revised 18-year-old Management Program, the Business School will provide the faculty and determine education policy for the new course of study. The faculty at the Business School is studying the Radcliffe curriculum now and soon will recommend changes it considers necessary to carry out the new program.

In commenting on the move, Meek observed that "companies which make and sell consumer goods seem to be looking today for employees who can give them the woman's point of view."
