CHARLES J. KIERNAN “The Purchasing Function as an Area of Particular Significance nd Interest for the College Woman in Industry” was the title of n informal address by Professor Charles J. Kiernan, Chairman of he Department of Economics of the School of Commerce, St. John’s Jniversity. Kappa Pi Sigma and the Business Club shared the spon- orship of this program. Professor Kiernan pointed out that Purchasing is an extremely hallenging field of business activity that in some ways parallels the 1ormal activities of the housewile. The field of Purchasing is espe- ially attractive to the college woman since it is somewhat creative in haracter. The kaleidoscopic nature of the Purchasing Department's finction offers the young college woman entering business the oppor- unity for a career that is both interesting and lucrative.
