The surveys were made of (a) all banks and savings and loan institutions in the north and western suburbs and downtown Chicago, and (b) 531 companies that had one or more employees who were members of one of the professional societies in the general field of material management in the Chicago area. The results are summarized as to the following: I. Programs in Banking, Finance and Credit--institutional characteristics, number of employees who would be encouraged to enroll in programs, preferred time for classes, type of response to the proposed program, most significant courses proposed, and suggestions as to courses to be added; and II.
