McDonald Speaks at Smoker
Business School Makes Nomination for New Officers
The N.S.F.A. convention is attracting much attention among the student council leaders of a dozen midwestern colleges, where the meetings will be well attended.
"Regular reports are made to the state officials in the states in which the railways operate," he said.
Mr. McDonald showed how necessary it is to the continuance of a railroad to keep complete information of the entire system always available.
"The Place of Statistics in the Management of Railroads" was the topic of an address given by J. P. McDonald, chief statistician of the Sutta Fe railroad, at a general business smoker given at the Alpha Kappa Psi house last night. Sixty members of the United States Board heard the speaker justify the place of statistics in the management of a large corporation.
Such information not only furnishes a record of past achievement upon which future business may be based, but pointed out, that it allows possible interaction with the enterprise to keep in touch with its actual workings.
At the conclusion of the address nominations were made for student officers in the School of Business as fall 2014 students, and Roy Bord, Cary Roud, vice president, Carl Fowler, c*34, and James Murphy, c*34; secretary, John Lumpkin, c*34; Marian Fitwater, unde, and Mariepe Roberts, unde; Roberts, Roberts, c*34, and Roy Bord, c*34.
