among college students.
The recommendation was made by two University psy
chologists, Hugh B. Urban, associate professor of human de
velopnient and psychology, and Donald H. Ford, dean of the
College 'of Human Development, who have, found that be
havior disorders occur most frequently among students who
cannot fit into a prescribed mold.
Urban presented their findings at the 45th annual meet
ing of the American Orthopsychiatric Association here.
Bound Within Tradition
. "Two many of our students are bound within traditional
curricular. structures which are lock-step in fashion and
designed to require a student to adjust to a particular mod
el," Urban declared.
As an alternative, he suggested "arranging for a model
which is sufficiently flexible to accommodate students."
Behavior disorders are precipitated by failure—failure
in grades and in social acceptance, said Urban, who is
,co
ordinator of the psychological program of the Division of
Counseling' at Penn State. Ford is former director of the
Division of Counseling.
Student Maladjustment
_ln their paper, the collaborators cite such typical evi
dence of student maladjustment as agitated depressions,
schizophrenic breaks, episddes of protracted lethargy, aca
demic urider-achievement, and even physical disease.
• While counseling services are necessary to cope with
disorders after they occur, the Penn State psychologists
urge more stress on preventive measures since "after the
crisis has taken place, the student dreads it may happen
again. He feels vulnerable, inadequate and subject to further
collapse at some unknown time and place in the future."
Preventive Steps
The co-authors of the report recommend three prevent
ive .steps: increased emphasis on guidance at the high school
level to help the student decide whether he should go to
college at all and, if so, which college would be best for him,

A BUSINESSMAN DISCUSSES
INTELLECTUALISM
IN BUSINESS
INTELLECTUALISM is one of•a number of
issues being discussed via campus news
papers by students at leading universities
and Robert W. Galvin, Motorola Chairman.
Here Mr. Galvin advances the proposition
that business provides challenging oppor
tunities ,for the intellectual graduate. In a
succeeding edition, this paper will publish
a reply to the issue by Miss Caulfield of
Northwestern University. Other campus
newspapers will publish the views of
students pictured here with Miss Caulfield.
Your comments on this subject are wet-
corned. Send them to Robert W, Galvin,

asquarbillo ‘trighi),
Dear Miss Caulfield:
A well-worn, but often revived, campus
criticism of business is that it is un
intellectual. I'm sure you would not ex
pect me to agree. However, in all fairness
I think there are very few careers, if any,
open to the graduate that provide
any higher degree of pure intellectual
involvement than the university,
particularly as the sole essence of a job.
We would each do Well to ask: What is
intellectualism? It means many things
to many people.
Within the basic parameters of my own
interpretation, I would say that business
offers just as much intellectual chat
lenge to a bright young person as any
other career field. In fact, the "un
intellectual mind" will not be adequate
for future,business leadership. • -
~
Rogei Slough, Chairman of U. S.
Steel, stated it well when he said: "Busk
ness.needs the young intellectual today
more than it ever needed him. The
scope of, operations, multipliCation of
environmental factors, accelerating
technological change, complexity of
products, and intangibles and impon
derabled that constantly arise all call for
the best brains available." • •
Thoughtful, disciplined, intellectual
graduates have a restless spirit of in
quiry and an admirable desire to im
prove society. But I wonder if those
who dismiss business as having no need
for the intellectual—of that business
just isim-intellectual—really consider •
the mental quotient, the study and agility
required to anticipate; synthesiie,. Coe
relate, and strategize; to - engage in cre-
ative and judgmental thinking; to apply
scholarly knowledge and orderly mental
processes to the resolution of business
management problems. I believe that,
such capabilities are intellectual in
nature—and are integrally a part of
business management.
lime had my own personal fallibility
proven to me often, yet I know that the
supreme satisfaction in business to me
is an intellectual one—seeing Through a
.complex problem a little more clearly
than a competitor.

A continuing challenge in a large corn
poration is the need for "refounding."
Refounding is the forming of whole new
businesses inside an established cor
poration, made necessary by the need
for diversification. You refound when
your company enters a completely new
market, or develops a product or service
which creates its own new market.
Vita! to the refounding process is the
element of profound judgment called
,for:Refdunding , tests men!s vision, de-: '
termination, imagination, flair. It some
times calls for the courage to institute
'drastic changes in established research
techniques, production methods, finan
cial policies, and marketing practices.
And you must be right—millions of dol
lars of investment and thous.ands of
people's jobs may ride on your
decisions, your judgments.
There is great reward for men and
women in business whose application
of intellect helps produce things that
feed, warm, clothe, house one's fellow
human beings ...that help free them
from drudgery and thus make it possi
ble for them to enlarge their own
intellectual horizons
Before you dismiss a business career as
being "un-intellectual" I urge you to in
vestigate the needs and scope of mod
ern management forhighly talented
university graduates like yourself., '
Now let's hear how you define intellec
tualism. Do you disagree with the views
I've expressed? Do you feel that the
"intellectual" is needed in modern
business—that a businessman can be
intellectual? What are your views?

Robert W. Galvin
