...CRIMSON disagrees with the stand taken by Mr. May in his article on "Efficiency" printed elsewhere in this issue. He pleads for a college course giving more direct business training. The curriculum now, as we understand it, is aimed to fit men primarily for the business of living.

And it seems as if the best method of introducing him to these matters...
