Big Percentage of Men
Work in Positions for

Questionnaires Sent to
All of School’s AJninui
As high as 7o per cent of the uieu
graduates of the school of business
administration at the University of
Oregon are engaged in occupations
for which specific training was re
ceived, is shown by a report just
completed by Professor O. K. Bur
rell, of the business administration
department.
JVhat graduates of the school of
business administration of the Uni
versity of Oregon are doing, was
the subject of the research carried
out by Professor Burrell, under the
direction of David j£. Faville, dean
of the school of business adminis
tration.
Questionnaires were sent, to all
men. graduates of 1he school, and
I'll of them were returned. The
questionnaire asked for a statement
of the graduate's present occupa
tion, previous experience, and how
long employed by the present firm?
It also asked if the graduate was
satisfied with Ihe work ho was do
ing. If not, what would lie prefer
to do, Would ho change his place
of residence, or enter a line of work
that involved traveling? Would he
like to be notified of an opportunity
to change?
What salary would ho expect if
he did give up his present position,
and would it bo au increase over bis
present salary, or a decrease, wore
two other questions asked.
“I am gratified,” said Dean Fa
yille, speaking of the results of
Professor Burrell’s report, “to find
'our graduates so well placed, and
also that' they have been able to
apply the specific training that they
received in our department.”
“The median salaries at which
graduates in various years would be
willing to change positions”:
(.’lass of 1828 .$1,800
Class of 1027 . 1,800
Class of 1020 . 2,400
Class of 1925 . 2,400
Class of 1924 . 2,700
Class of 1925 . 0,000
Median figures were used in fig
uring the above. In every ease the
average salaries were higher than
the median salaries, the reports
showed, and it was felt that a mid
dle figure was more nearly repre
sentative of the entire group.
“The proportion of each class en
gaged in occupations for which
specific training was received in
the school of business administra
tion”:
Class of 1928 . 45%
Class of 1927 . 75%
Class of 1920 . 00%
Class of 1925 . 71%
Class of 1924 . 70%
Class of 1923 . 00%
In some cases, Professor Burrell
stated, it was impossible to deter
mine the exact nature of the occu
pation, and in such ease the ques
tionnaire was not included in the
com pilation.
Specific training was interpreted
to mean at least one upper division
course in line with the occupation
of the graduate.
Professor Burrell pointed out that
the schedule seemed to indicate that
there is a tendency for graduates to
take the first job which is offered
regardless of their training, but to
later shift into occupations for I
which they have specific training. ;
