Training for Business

Frank A. Vanderp, formerly first assistant secretary
OF the federal treasury and vice president of the Ma
ona City Bank Of New York is worried because colleges
do not teach business to their students.
Vanderlp has been pleading with the university convo
cation for university education especially adapted to men
who are to lead commercial lives
Fanderp must be accepted expert witness on the
subject OF business qualifications He has long been closely
allied with the classes with whom business is fine art
But the main question is whether the country wants
those classes enlarged Another question is whether edu
cation has anything to do with the production of such
classes.
lack of business training has never been regarded as
of the crying evils of American life The business men
with whom Vanderip is allied seem to be doing very WELL
even IN the absence of special university training Had they
added advantage of special training they would prob
ably be owning the whole earth with a fence around it.
The directors of the National City bank for example
though they have had special university business train
ng able to purchase the New York custom house
from the federal treasury terms that have amazed and
puzzled the country Does Vanderlp hope that with spec
ia university training they would be able to take the en-
tire federal treasury easier terms?
Had the managers of the Equitable had special unvers
iy training would they have succeeded better turning
the peoples money the their private use?
Rockefeller without any university training at ALL has
acquired billion If specially trained would he have ac-
quired hundred billions!

intellect Money making is instinct which men share
