 Although the School of Commerce 
 does not promise to secure positions 
 for its graduates, it makes a systematic 
 effort to find positions for students 
 who have made a good record in the 
 School. It has proved of large value 
 in aiding students to make satisfactory 
 connection with business firms upon 
 the completion of their study. 
 
 The Bureau will also co-operate 
 with day students in getting the re- 
 quired experience in business to qual- 
 ify for the degree Bachelor of Science 
 in Commerce.
