Abstract
AT the discussion on ‘’ The Universities and Business” L arranged by the Department of Industrial Co-operation, Section F (Economic Science and Statistics), at the British Association meeting at Norwich on September 5, Dr. J. A. Bowie discussed the need for more intimate co-operation and suggested that British university schools of business were supplying a negligible percentage of the men required for administrative positions in industry and commerce. Dr. Bowie estimated that over the whole of British industry there were about one million suitable appointments for the business graduate. If the British schools of business were supplying the administrative grade of employee at the same rate as the replenishment in the closed professions, they should be producing about 40,000 graduates annually instead of the actual 200-300.
