O. W. U. School oi Business What Will a. College Training Do for You After Graduation? Efiiciency. The ehief purpose to be kept in mind is efficiency. You must learn many facts and much information. You should obtain the power to handle facts and information. You must learn to reason and think for yourself. You should acquire as much practical in- formation as possible during a college course. Prepare yourself to grapple with unexpected conditions, to dive into new environments from year to year. Every tub should stand on its own bottom. The ability to stand o11 your feet, to analyze, and decide how to do is efficiency. To develop this quality our University is spending thousands of dollars for instruction and equipment. Men who obtain such training are in great demand and their opportunities are growing wider every year. Training for Business. Have you ever thought of business as your prospective career after leaving college? lf so, let us urge you to carefully consider the necessity of a Business Course. All that our University is doing in the line of Engineering, Medicine, Music and Art, the School of Business is now undertaking for the great sphere of business. Do not make the mistake of going into business because you cannot get along in something else. lf business is your calling, train yourself for it as you would for sueeess in any other field of human activity. Devote your preparation to all the care and enthusiasm that you would give to a profession, so that when you enter upon your career you may have a trained mind and developed personality. lt is in response to these ideals of university education that the School of Business has been developed. Our aim is to give young men special training upon the su'vjeets which are most helpful in practical business life, so that the college graduate may be a well- rounded, eilieient man. Lyeurus L. Hudson, BLA.. Principal. 27
