930 Graduates Of College Now On Road To Success
By ARTHUR NEELLEY. ’30
Although members of the class oi 1930 have been in the business world fur less than a year, they have made trcmen-duous strides toward the goal which all men seek—that of success. True, there has not yet appeared front the group a gtnius—yet there are some who have made very lasting im-
pressions in the line of their new activity—and business has been the natural recipient of a host of new agent*—new men, new blood —added activity.
Upon glancing over Hie list of 1930 graduates of the College of Commerce you will find that a great number have entered into the selling field—including work in all lines of merchandising. Vet I dare say that stock, bond, and insurance houses have appealed to the greatest number in this particular division. As a proof of this all you need to do is visit Spring street most any tme of the day—and you will see many Trojans who are aspiring to positions of financiers. Incidentally, some of these men are meeting with particular success, while others are able to eat occasionally also.
ACTIVITIES VARIED
A further examination discloses Trojans of '30 In many other lines, including accounting, research, statistical work, banking practise, real estate activity, transporta tion, advertising and publications, while same have entered the coaching profession in the capacity of track, basketball and football tutors Others have taken to farming, some are In the Law
School, others are still undecided as to just what type of business they desire to foHow.
One yeHr of work In the field of business ha* led roe to this one major conclusion:
Any man pursuing a college education shoul^ lake as broad and inclusive course as it is possible to get, for t'he very reason that he can never be certain as to what he will do after graduating. There Is an exception of course to this statement, which allows for a professional man to specialise in his particular line only. Even in this instance I am certain that many a professional man would be better fitted if he knew more of the business and practical side of life. Commerce offers a very broad education, it can give you all that you desire, it will fit you for any number of various types of work, it gives you contact with the real business world through the medium of its an nual Commerce Dinner, and finally it gives you a faculty for accomplishment, and tlie desire to make a name and a place for your self.
