Pacific Telephone utilizes formal training offered
by colleges and universities to an appreciable extent in
the training and development of its executives. It has
sent some ten to twelve executives drawn from the third,
fourth, and fifth levels of management to such courses
each year. Advanced management courses at Dartmouth
University, The University of California at Los Angeles,
and Pomona College, California are regularly used.
Companies of the Bell System with the cooperation
of the University of Pennsylvania send twenty-four of
their key executives to the campus each fall for ten
months of continuous study. Two of Pacific Telephoned
executives have been participating in this program each
year. It is called the Institute of Humanistic Studies
and was started at the University in 1953 at the suggestion
of the president of the Bell Telephone Company cf
Pennsylvania. The reasoning behind this program is that
ten months of concentrated study in liberal arts will
’’broaden the viewpoint and enhance the stature and executive
potential of promising young executives.”**
