Use of Pictures in a School of Business Administration

Extract

Dr. Abraham Flexner, a year ago, sought in his general criticism of American education to put the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration in what he thought to be its true and lowly place, by stating that all the Business School was accomplishing was to short-cut experience. “Exactly,” says the Business School, “that is our aim. We hope to lay a foundation of principles by which the future business administrator may make decisions more keen than a lifetime of trial and error would have made possible.” But the function which Dr. Flexner so minimizes is recognized by the Business School as a colossal task, and the members of the faculty are ever seeking devices to aid them in their work.
