...topcoat and business suit against the late summer chill, walked into Boisvert's Barbershop on Cottage Street in the resort town of Bar Harbor, Me., trailed by his chauffeur. He had not phoned ahead for an appointment; nor had he, like many of the wealthy summer residents of Mount Desert* Island, sent the chauffeur down after working hours to bring one of the barbers back to his mansion.

Ohio State University has set up career conferences at high schools across Ohio. "But when we went into the schools," says Assistant Dean John T. Mount of the College of Agriculture, "we found that a lot of people thought agriculture still means plowing the land and milking the cows and little more." The University of Nebraska's College of Agriculture is thinking of sending out a special recruiting exhibit to high schools. Iowa State College...
