businessmen use community facilities T n 1962, the Business Administration Division took pains to make prac¬ tical applications of accumulated knowledge. To accomplish this, stu¬ dents utilized the giant laboratory of the community resources of New York City. Business law students applied classroom theory to practical cases at the Brooklyn Supreme Court under the eyes of trained legal supervisors. Another field trip to the New York Stock Exchange spotlighted the center of America’s economic activity. Man¬ agement majors learned personnel techniques by first hand observation of successful executives in action. Dr. Savage’s program of accounting internship trained twelve top flight students, the highest number of par¬ ticipants to date.
