A graduate of M. I. T. and a director of Standard Oil of New Jersey, DAVID A. SHEPARD was brought up in Colorado, a state aware of its natural wealth and anxious to keep it coming. He believes, as do many men in industry today, that we must conserve our natural resources.
When DAVID A. SHEPARD graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1927 and entered the employ of Standard Oil of New Jersey, the oil industry was filled with engineers and those who had earned their seniority in the field without benefit of college. But over the years a change has taken place; men with a liberal arts education have proved their value in oil as in other American industries, and today speaking as a Director of Jersey Standard, Mr. Shepard makes this forthright analysis of his company’s quest for executives.
