     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

     accomplished in the last 
     
     two semesters: 
     
    

    
     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.

     ‘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

     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
