Last June, the MBA Class of 1958 celebrated its 50th Reunion. HBS professor emeritus Stephen A. Greyser, one of five class members who became professors at the School (likely a record for any class), notes that because the class graduated at the midpoint of HBS’s life, its numbers offer an interesting snapshot of a different era. For example, of the class’s 2,173 applicants, 36 percent were admitted; 70 percent were either veterans or on active duty and sent by the military. There were no women and few minorities. In a survey to which nearly half the class responded, 27 percent reported being fired, and 43 percent had quit a job.
