CHICAGO ALUMNI TO AID SENIORS SEEKING JOBS

The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago, Ill., through its vocational committee, has recently instituted a new plan for assisting students of the Tuck School and of Dartmouth College who wish to obtain employment in the Chicago district. Details of this plan were contained in a letter received recently by William R. Gray, Dean of the Tuck School, from Warren D. Bruner '12, secretary of the Chicago Alumni Association.

Though cooperation between the alumni associations of various other colleges and the vocational directors of their respective schools has been common for some time in the past, the case at hand of the Chicago association is the first organized effort that has been made by any Dartmouth alumni association to assist Dartmouth men to obtain employment in its district.

The plan being initiated by the Chicago association consists of a system of questionnaires which are to be filled out both by students desiring employment in the Chicago district and by firms needing employees in particular fields of work. One set of questionaires calling for information regarding the type of employee needed and the salary which the applicant might expect has been sent to each of the business firms in the Chicago district who might have need for college men.

Another set of questionnaires calling for information with regard to the type of employment desired, the salary expected, and the college record of the man in question, is available at the offices of both Mr. Gray, Dean of the Tuck School, and of Mr. Husband, Associate Dean of the College.

This system of questionnaires, according to present plans, will be renewed in the spring of each year. As the plan has not yet had time to develop, only a few positions are available at present, but it is expected that the questionnaires sent to the Chicago firms will be returned in a short time and that positions in more varied fields will thus be available.
