Out of the 345 men graduating from the Business School last June who applied to the placement bureau of the School for positions, only 35 remain unplaced. The total number of degrees granted was 383, but 22 of these failed to answer inquiries and offers of assistance, eight are foreign students, and eight are engaged in further study or travel, leaving a total of 345 men to be placed.
The net result compares favorably with that of the academic year 1929-30 when at about the same period there were about 30 men still unplaced. None of the outstanding men of this class remains unplaced.
Of the Class of 1931, banking has attracted the greatest number of men, 78, of whom 44 are in commercial and 34 in investment banking. Manufacturing has attracted 63 men, while department, chain, and retail stores have taken 36. The rest of the men are distributed among about a dozen fields, including accounting, sales, public utility management, and teaching.
Out of the 369 members of the Class of 1932 at the School who were eligible for placement for summer positions last June, only 45 were unplaced. The employers who visited the School last spring interviewed 179 men and selected 40 of these for definite summer assignments. The School placed 25 additional men in other ways, and the remainder of the class placed themselves. Although 441 members of the class were eligible to return for this year, the net number to be placed was only 369, since 79 men either traveled, studied, or were excused from work during the summer
Most of the graduates of the School are in close touch with the placement bureau, and of the 5,000 alumni approximately 155 who had definitely lost their positions because of the depression appealed to the placement bureau for assistance in relocating themselves. The bureau helped 63 of this group to find permanent positions and also found temporary positions for a substantial number in addition.
