...precedents in printed volumes. The Medical School had hospitals and laboratories. Real information about business, not gossip and proverbs, but facts--such as records of output and costs under varying conditions and methods--were locked up in the vaults of business men and divulged with reluctance. The main object of the Bureau is to get precise and reliable information about business for the Business School. An incidental but important work is to furnish information to business men and to institutions training for business. The Bureau is much facilitated in its work by the inherently strategic position of the University...
...commodity of shoes, beginning with its retailing. To overcome great variations in bookkeeping, a uniform system of accounting was devised for retailers. After this Harvard System of Accounts for Shoe Retailers had been sufficiently adopted by the trade and figures based upon it gathered, Bulletin Number 1 (Object and History of the Bureau with Some Preliminary Figures on the Retailing of Shoes) was issued in May, 1913, based on the records of 130 stores that were fully comparable. In this bulletin were given the highest and lowest operating figures found for ten items--gross profit, total operating expense, delivery expense...

...sound, general, if so-called "secondary" education. These boys, in many widely scattered parts of the country, were often boys of the sort that Harvard has felt itself qualified to serve: and the "new plan" has brought them to Harvard in constantly increasing numbers. Princeton, with the same object in view, has modified its admission requirements. Yale has been making recent changes for a like general purpose; and both Brown and Bowdoin have set themselves to meet the same conditions. The Bowdoin plan apparently most nearly resembles that of Harvard. Naturally each college works out its own method of solving...
Only 250 subscriptions have as yet been received for the Red Book. As the book is published with the object of reaching practically every man in the class, it is essential that more men sign up at the Rendezvous or with one of the Editors at once. The book is sold at $1; an extremely low price, as the cost is about $1.50 per volume. It will probably be ready at the end of the first week in June...
