College Vs. Industry: Education or Training?
'It's about time someone
some economist or busi
ness administration instruc
tor n a far-away school
woR op to the fact that the
teaching profession is doir?
a wholly inadequate job of
acquainting students with the
needs of industry and then
did something about ft."
Speaking was an advocate
for better college training,
Lon D. Barton in Chicago.
He accused colleges and
universities of being guilty
for the executive shortage:

standing f the needs of in
dustry and thus they mast be
held largely responsible for
the shortage f executives
which threatens tnr econ
omy.' The Much-Accused
"It is true that in recent
years colleges of business ad
ministration have been ac
cused of furnishing a lack of
direction," said Dr. Stuart
Hall, University of Nebraska
professor of Economics.
"But we are dealing with
andergradaates wha may not
know exactly Into which bus
iness r industry they wiD
go," HaA said.
"And the main reason it's
difficult to give specific ad
vice is that there are all kinds
of businesses with all kinds
of different demands.
According to the professor,
other complaiaers, and there
are many, say that in col
leges and universities too
much emphasis is placed on
the vocational aspect and al
so that the graduate is trained
bat not educated.
"We want to give thea a
liberal edscatiaa," HaTl
pointed ut -Parents send
their kids to school with the
idea that they are going to
have an edscaijoa when they
are finished. At public ex
pense, why should we train
a man for a specific job
we want to educate him."
On the other., side of the
coin. Barton continued, "No
one has taken the time to dis
cuss with young men the
qualifications employers will
accept for executive develop
ment or analyre the routes
for them to follow in achiev
ing administrative and exec
utive success. I have found
universities and colleges are
reluctant to examine this
problem.
"Recruiters for business
who come to the University
campus twice a year place
emphasis on the ability to
communicate and then to
have something to communi
cate, to think coherently" and
independently," Hall said.
Daniel Remigio, plant man
ager of Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Co., elaborated on the
expected qualities f a young
man going into industry.
Oaulin? the late P. W.
Litchfield, ex-chairman of the
board for Goodyear, Remigio
listed:
good heahh
character (the individual
must be honest and trustworthy)
ability (the ability to
meet changing problems of
materials and markets, of en
gineering and finance and in
dustrial relations; willing to
give and take counsel)
teamwork
thrift (continued success
depends npoa the gradual ac
cumulation of savings to in
sore against the rainy day;
this is just as tree of busi
ness as it is of an individual.)
- Need Vision, Courage
Remigio continued, "To re
main successful, those who
have reached high executive
positions must have vision
and courage in addition tt
these five fundamentals.
"Study hard through col
lege," Remigio advised. "The
student should get an AS
degree or higher in business
administration if his inter
ests lie in sales and adminis
tration; an engineering de
gree plus a scientific masters
or doctorate if his interests
lie in research and produc
tion. .
Oa-Job Training
"Most corporations do have
teaming programs for push
ing ahead potential executives i
at a suitable rate, according
to Remigio. .

H snrnid that tUrwr
students shenld match the
school's opportunities by be
ing willing, anxious and cap
able of taking advantage of
them, the net result being a
oaality education.
His concluding advice
"Seek a college education
rather than a college diploma."
What about Remigio's own
experience with college grad
uates? "We are happy with the
college graduates we . have
forking for us," he said. "We
jave qualified recruiters and
zan be selective."
