...does not undertake to place students in permanent positions. In this connection, your attention is called to the Appointment Office of the Harvard Alumni Association at 50 State Street, Boston, which places many graduates permanently, and to the University Appointment Office, 11 University Hall, where men who wish to teach may be able to secure positions. The return of the questionaire is, of course, optional, but since the answers will be used for statistical purposes, it is important that replies should be returned even though many may have already decided upon their future work...

Naturally we fight back against measures like these...
...Peabody seems justified in his opinion that U. S. schools and schoolmasters are gaining in prestige and appreciation as "dominant" influences upon the modern boy. The fact that more members of Harvard 1925 went into teaching than into law bears him out. And the younger men now going into teaching are men of ability. No longer can it be said that those who can, do; while those who can't, teach...
