"Training men for the war comes first," says Dean David of the Business School, "but we are doing all the research we can to anticipate some important post war problems." With this credo and the high-pressure efficiency of big business, the recently appointed chief has piloted the Business School safely through the storm of a gigantic war time reorganization.

Although the Dean spent the early part of his career around the University, fifteen years of corporation presidencies and directors' meetings have left him with a Greenwich estate, a suave manner, and a liking for Adironack vacations and double-breasted pin-stripe suits. On the other hand, he still smokes cigarettes and has time to tell jokes to his staff. Dean David's years of experience in the world of the entrepreneurs has made the rapid organization, of critical war courses possible. When things are really popping, he calls a meeting, tells a few jokes to lessen the tension, and then attacks the problem at hand quickly, efficiently, and without a trace of excitement.

Giving up his presidencies and directorates, Dean David returned to the Business School in 1941 with a practical training almost unprecedented among University executives. In addition to the problems that arise in teaching the Ensigns across the river, he is conducting extensive researches on business-labor questions. He believes that this will be the most important post war problem and he is convinced that this is not too early to start planning for it.
