The College of Business Administration mokes o definite effort to aid its students in finding permanent positions after graduation. This is accomplished by means of inviting the representatives of various firms throughout the country to visit the campus to interview members of the senior class, and also by direct contacts with local firms. In this respect, the college has been outstandingly successful during the past few years, and this lost year had available many more positions than could be filled.
