,'(This is the fourth in a series of
litkles dealing'with methods of
pficament service m the various
,schools and departments of the
~ College. and the, success which
Ikese methods have had.)
By RICHARD C. PETERS
Tninvidual recihests for students,
through'the personal contacts of
members of the staff of the School
of Agriculture, are the chief means
of placing graduates of the School,
according to Stevenson W Fletcher,
.
its dean ,
"We hail° no centialized place
ment service in the School," stated
Dein Fletcher,, "all such activities
are'',ori a departmental basis"
Deem Fletcher pointed out that
the , faculty of the School keeps in
innmate.contact 'with - the varied
interests it serves ' , Through lee
, tures and demonstrations by mem
bers of the resident teaching staff'
fn ,all parts of the, state, through
the extensive prOgram of research,
, and particularly through the ex
tension service which reaches into
every `county.
"But,'7in all eases," the dean
stressed, "the student himself is
`expected to be chairman of a Job
finding, committee, of one; the de
partmental effort supplements but
_does not supersede his personal
- responsibility in this respect"
' A number ordepartments in the
send letters, each Spring to
the- larger employers, giving the
'speciatoualifications f each mem
' ber:%,oLlhe graduating class, with
pliotographs often'included
During the past few,, yeare,,iDean
-:Fletcher, , stated;RwaitiallX - 311-ifif
L i . * high standing graduates have
lifound-employment, with difficulty
gfoiind only in placing the students
;whose "records ,were - mediocre or
who have serious deficiencies in
personal traits
,;' , ,llecently,l a faculty placement
cotimittee has been appointed in
the School , to analyze and evaluate
the:.present . placement service of
the-,several departments and of
.7sehools' of agriculture in other]
,land-grant colleges
' Vlt hoped," Dean Fletchei con
'eluded, "that this"committee may
enable the School of Agriculture
:_to cooperate most effectively with
the ' proposed central placement
bureau of the College"
