INTERCOLLEGIATE BUREAU OF OCCUPATIONS

38 W E S T T H I R T Y - SECOND STREET

N E W YORK CITY

The Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupations is a co-operative or-
ganization managed by the New York alumna? of Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Cornell, Mt. Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Welles-
ley. Employers in search of efficient workers and educated women
seeking the best vocational opportunities have long felt the need of a
clearing house through which they might meet, and the Bureau pur-
poses to supply this need in New York. I t aims also to investigate
the present conditions of women's work, to develop new opportunities,
to establish close connections with the colleges and to aid in giving
information to undergraduates, to give specific advice regarding
equipment for different vocations, and to insure in every possible way
a wise choice of occupation and adequate preparation for its demands.
We ask your co-operation in fulfilling these purposes.

To EMPLOYERS the Bureau offers its services as an organized means
of finding well qualified candidates for positions in which education
and special training are required. Wide contact with college alum-
nae and with many other women well equipped for professional
service enables us to recommend the right worker for the right place.
Our list includes secretaries for literary, financial, or executive posi-
tions, investigators, workers in various branches of philanthropic
service, laboratory assistants in physics, chemistry, bacteriology, and
biology, bookkeepers, proof readers, librarians, travelling companions
and couriers with practical business experience and knowledge of
foreign countries, trained nurses for executive of institutional posi-
tions, musicians, editorial writers, and household administrators
trained in domestic science. For the first year, at least, teachers
will not be registered. A l l other occupations offering desirable op-
portunities for women are included in the Bureau's work. No fee
is charged to employers.

To WOMEN WORKERS the Bureau offers its services as their agent
in securing positions other than teaching. Careful study is made to
ascertain the fitness of the applicant for the work which she wishes to
do, and to suggest to her the possibilities in line with her attainments.
To any who are without experience or training advice is gladly given,
but no applicant is registered who is not qualified. Graduation
from college is not a requirement. A l l educated women, whether
college graduates or not, are eligible i f they are prepared for the
work which they seek. The Bureau aims not only to aid women who
