The first of a series of talks on business questions of an academic interest will take place on Wednesday night when a dinner and meeting will be held in Room L of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, 80 Federal Street.

Dean W. B. Donham '98, Dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration, will preside over the meeting and also deliver the principal address of the evening. The subject to be discussed has been announced as "Practical Psychology in Business." The dinner will begin at 6 o'clock.

The Mercantile Health Work Department of the University Business School is jointly sponsoring the meeting, which it is planned to supplement by others of a similar nature. Among the other organizations under whose auspices the series of meetings is being organized, are the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, the Society for Mental Hygiene, the Retail Trade Board of Boston, the Society of Industrial Engineers and the Manufacturers' Research Association.

Other Meetings to be Arranged

Dean Donham's address will open the subject of the evening. Dr. C. Macfle Campbell, Director of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital, is scheduled to follow him. Sharing the medical side of the presentation with Dr. Campbell will be Dr. Abraham Myerson, Professor of Neurology at the Tufts Medical School. Dr. Elton Mayo, Professor at the Wharton School of Commerce and Finance, will close the discussion.

Wednesday's meeting will be the first of a series, and one of the first attempts of the Business School to deal at first hand with the practical problems of business administration. A large number of executives in Boston are expected to be present.

Dean Donham to Open Discussion

The monthly conferences which are expected to follow have not yet been definitely arranged.
