BUST OF FREDERICK TAYLOR FOR TUCK SCHOOL

A bronze bust of the late Frederick Taylor, exponent and leader in scientific management, has been presented to the Tuck School. The College is very fortunate in securing this bust which is an excellent piece of work. The bust is possessed of character and expression and is technically very satisfactory. It is a very high compliment that the Tuck School was selected as a depository for this likeness of Mr. Taylor. The following letters from Mr. Morris Cooke to Doctor Person are of interest in this connection:

"June 20, 1917.

"DR. H. S. PERSON, "TUCK SCHOOL, DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, "HANOVER, N. H.

"MY DEAR DR. PERSON: -

"We have asked the Roman Bronze Works of Brooklyn, New York, to ship you a bronze bust of the late Frederick W. Taylor, and desire to make a present of it to the Tuck School.

"Several different places have been considered as the proper repository for this bust. In sending it to the Tuck School, I feel certain that we are carrying out only what would have been Mr. Taylor's wishes, if he personally had rendered a decision on the facts. In reaching this decision we have especially in mind, first, the services which you personally have rendered in bringing the Taylor Society to its present position of usefulness; secondly, the work of you and your associates in developing the technique of teaching Scientific Management; and thirdly, the splendid contributions which everybody connected with Dartmouth College and the Tuck School, from President Hopkins down, have made to the Government in the present crisis. In every respect, the quality of these services to the Government have been, it seems to me, such as carry the real spirit of Scientific Management, combining the pains-taking regard for the details out of which any great enterprise is built, and such a zeal for service as would distinguish any undertaking.

"Assuring you and your associates of our continued regard, I remain,

"Yours very sincerely,

(Signed)
