An enrolment for the Modern Business Course and Service covers a period of two years. During that time each subscriber is constantly in touch with the members of the Institute Staff. There are no rigid rules—no red tape—to restrict or annoy; instead, there is personal guidance and sincere cooperation.
The more carefully you consider the plan, the more clearly you will see how well it is adapted to the needs of busy men who must make every minute and every ounce of effort produce the greatest possible results.
You will see more clearly the actual scope of the Modern Business Course and Service if you keep in view its eight main features:
1—Text 2—Talks 3—Lectures 4—Problems 5—Monthly Letters 6—Financial and Trade Reviews 7—Reports 8—Service
1—Text
The basis of the Course and Service is a series of twenty-four text-books prepared under the careful supervision of its editors, assisted by well-known authorities. In some cases the latter appear as authors, in others as collaborators in the preparation of the Texts.
Dean Joseph French Johnson is Editor-in-Chief of the Course. The managing editor is Dr. Roland P. Falkner. Associated with them is a large editorial staff which takes an active share in the writing and preparation of the Course. The authors and collaborators are specialists who rank as authorities in their particular field. The series is widely recognized as the most important contribution yet made to business literature.
The volumes in the Modern Business Series are sold apart from the Institute Course only to universities for use as prescribed text-books in classroom work. Among the universities which have used the Institute's volumes as texts are:
Boston University Brown University Cedar Crest College Coe College College of the City of New York College of William and Mary Colorado College Columbia University Cornell University Dartmouth College Denver University Drake University Duquesne University Elmira College Georgetown University Georgia School of Technology Grinnell College Kansas State Agricultural College Lawrence College Marquette University Miami University Middlebury College New Hampshire College New York University Northwestern University Ohio State University Ohio University Oregon Agricultural College Pennsylvania State College Purdue University Queens University Rose Polytechnic Institute South Dakota State College State College of Washington Syracuse University Toledo University Trinity College Tulane University Vanderbilt University Virginia Polytechnic Institute University of Alabama University of Akron University of Arizona University of British Columbia University of California University of Chicago University of Cincinnati University of Colorado University of Illinois University of Indiana University of Iowa University of Kansas University of Michigan University of Minnesota University of Nebraska University of Oregon University of Pittsburgh University of Texas University of Washington University of Wisconsin Washington and Lee University Yale University
There are about three hundred and fifty pages in each of the twenty-four volumes. Each volume is carefully indexed and contains, in addition to the text, a few review suggestions after each chapter which are of great value in mastering the subject.
