At this time three years agowhat is nowone ofthe most active, and obviously the most effective society in U.P.E.I. , the Business Society, had not come into being. What a great in— sight on the part of the students and faculty members of the Department of Business Administration!

As the number of the enrolments of students started increasing dramatically in the early 70's, the students and the faculty members of the department'cf Business Administration foresaw the dilemma that the students in the program were going to have in the immediate future. ']he most important aspects of this dilemma were the large section sizes, limited facilty time available for consultation, and lack of senior seminar courses.

Being the businessmen and businessmen they are, they knew that something had to be done before the deth was overtaken by the above problems.

Hence the 'birth' of the Business Society. 'At ' least if we cannot talk to our professors privately, they could address us en rnasse under proper arrangements. Such was the ugly situation that the Business Society had to serve.

Now one thing is to want to start an organization, another thing is to have the finance for its establish— ment.

This was the problem that the Business Society had to face. "Businessmen, as we know, make the best out of nothing." 'Ihis was what was said by one of the pioneer students of this organization. What a courageous statement!

Well, without delving very much into the early part of the Business Society. (for records of A very early activities were not kept; this was when the Society was at the trial and error stage) ,

I wiSh to enumerate some of the innumerable contributions of the Business Society to the Business Department in particular, and the university community at

large.

'lhe present Executive of the Business Society and the business students class representatives did the best of jobs so far in the history of the Business Society. 'lhanks be to the able leadership of the Society's president Miss Mary Anne Hutdiinscn.

The 300 students of the department of Business Administration were very well represented in the department's meetings

These students were really very active and put across the stu’dents'_ views to the faculty members. Very great thanks to the chairman of the departmentfor making to sit in on their ’ meetings. through the students' input in these neetings, the department , made the latest release captioned "Staffing _ mquirements: 1978-79" in the Department of Business Administration. 'Ihis docmrentscmtains the dilemma of the Busi- ness sttflents and the mmber of faculty meribers required to meet .the present and future needs of the students. Partnership in the Soci- ety increased by about 25% in the last two semesters. Now

. This shows a . very great success on the ‘ part ofthe Executive and class

‘Ihe Society had three very successful'parties during this period. Each member of the Society is supposed to pay $3.00 as registration fees. Well, a simple mathematics will show that this sum of money at their disposal is relatively very small for them to orgnaize sudn parties. But they did organize them successfully well. At this ppint I once again thank all the faculty members of the department for making time available to attend all these parties. But for those parties, I would not have known most faculty members of the department, whose present advice " indispensable

for my career so far.

To venture, they say, is to succeed. With nothing at hand, the leaders of the Business Society decided to try one orfrthe most difficult tasks any society can face. _'lhis was the ordering of an identity outfit. About 80 Business ja’ckets were ordered and sold at manufacturing " 7 prices to the of the Business Society. How these guys paid the other costs involved still ‘
