To be DIRECTOR OF ADMISSION as Mr. Frank VVinch II is you must realize that your work entails two main areas. The first is to attract high quality applicants, interview and process them and hopefully enroll them in our freshmen class. The second and equally important task is to educate our public about collegiate education for business. There are many young men today who because of improper counseling, parental pressure, or purely for the sake of status, iind themselves in the wrong college and with the wrong curriculum. We want to make sure that secondary school seniors know what business administration is today and how it can prepare them for their life ahead. The primary function of the ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ADMISSION, Mr. Robert Ienks is to assist Mr. VVinch in any and all matters. This involves the interviewing of students both on campus and in their schools. It also means educating guidance counselors and headmasters as to what Babson has to offer and the type of student which we are looking for. These efforts culminate in the review of applications and selec- tion of a new class during the spring of each year. Among the other activities is the planning and coordination of the Admission's Oilice travel schedule. This year the following areas were covered: New York, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Ak- ron, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Denver, Los Angelos, San Diego, and most of New England. The Assistant Director of Admis- sion also works with the Orientation Committee arranging for the orientation dance, the parents reception, and the freshman sign-in and registra- tion.
