Railroad Sends Its Executives Back to School
Santa Fe Men Attend SC Institute
Some 33 Santa Fe Railway executives and their families are living and attending classes at SC tii is summer. The executives, from all parts of the nation, compose Santa Fe’s sixth annual Institute of Business Economics.
The program, set up by SC trustee and chief executive at Santa Fe Fred G. Gurley, was instituted to provide additional business management training for Santa Fe’s agents and executives.
Differing from other university workshops, the program is composed of no special courses. Institute students regularly attend scheduled courses in the School of Commerce.
Lock ley Supervisees
Selection of courses and instructors for the Sante Fe executives, however, is done by Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley, dean of the School of Commerce. It is under his supervision that the program is conducted.
Through training in economic principles, economic history and science of. government, Santa Fe is attempting to better equip their executives to cope with complex management problems.
Field Trips Supplement
The large scale program will also include field trips to Kaiser Steel at Fontana, the Santa Fe shops at San Bernardino, Log Angeles’ central manufacturing district and the Rincon oil fields in Ventura and Santa Barbara. These trips will supplement classroom instruction.
The students, selected by the head Santa Fe office in Chicago, are brought with their families to southern California and housed in plush Harris Hall at the company’s expense.
Gurley himself is a railroad veteran. He started as a clerk with the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad more than 27 years ago. He came to Santa Fe as an executive vice president in 1939 and is now chairman of the board. He has been as SC trustee since 1949.

“Encounter with Thomas Wolfe.”
“I have never been eager as some people to meet and know celebrities,” Dr. Cargill said. “If you know them intimately, you know too. much to write about them effectively.
“But it was impossible to avoid Wolfe. Wq were assigned the same desk in the faculty office at NYU and sat across from each other. My first physical impression of him was that he had the biggest feet ever possessed by a human being.”
Today a man 6'3” is not considered big, Cargill said. “But Wolfe gave a sense of bigness because—unlike most big men I’ve known who’ve been lethargic — he was always perspiring, always excited. He had a compulsion to write and his hurry to get things done made him impatient.”
Wolfe was a complex man, Cargill said. “He had all the charm and engaging traits of a southern gentleman when he wanted to turn them on.
“But he could also be the most brutal hill-billy I’ve ever known, and I’ve known some pretty brutal hill-billies. He could turn on anyone he thought didn’t appreciate h i s talents enough, and thoroughly do him in.
Dr. Cargill said he refrained from writing about Wolfe purposely for many years. He attributed this to his close association with the novelist which prevented catching Wolfe in a capsule, and perhaps to a “little bit of fear that he would cariacature me irr one of his books.H
But finally 30 years of evasion caught up with him and he put together a two volume set composed of a collection of letters and an essay on Wolfe as a memorial edition under the auspices of NYU.
Wolfe was the sort of man who could lash out with either hand without warning, Cargill said.
