Internal Memorandum
Conversation with Mr. Thomas Navin of the Harvard Business School
(See memorandum of conversation with Mr. John Chapman for information concerning
Mr. Navin)
Mr. Navin is a young professor in the Harvard Business School. He has
been writing at least one of the Business Histories concerned with a study of
¥hitinsvillej an industrial town in Massachusetts. This study has been published in the Harvard Business Series.
Mr. Navin was interested in knowing about the project. He suggested
the names of Mr. Jules Bogen of New York University and Mr. James S. Buesenberry,
Associate Professor of Economics at the Littauer School in Harvard.
Mr. Havin also said that he would be glad to send information concerning this project to a journal which economic historians read. I promised to
send him whatever publicity we finally decided to circulate on this project.
