TUCK SCHOOL PLANS TO ISSUE BULLETIN

A definite plan which has long been in the minds of various Tuck School graduates was adopted recently, when the Clearing House of Amos Tuck School voted unanimously that a business service bulletin be issued by members of the second-year class. Last Commencement the proposition assumed more or less concrete proportions at the meeting of the alumni of the school and at that time a committee composed of Professors H. R. Wellman and G. H. Tapley, and A. M. Cate '19, instructor in Business Organization, was appointed to look into the advisability of such a move. Then followed their recommendations which were accepted without a dissenting vote.

While plans are as yet in an unsettled state, the scheme has been more or less generally outlined, and it is planned to issue the first number some time in December with a monthly issue thereafter for the remainder of the second year course. The entire project is quite the most pretentious step that has yet been attempted by such a group and its success depends almost entirely on the members of the clearing house, the editors, and in no small share to the alumni backing that is received. The issue will not be limited, however, to Tuck School or Dartmouth graduates, but the circulation will be extended and pushed as far as possible with the ultimate objective of nationwide distribution among business men and firms.

The proposed bulletin is by no means a mere catalog of Tuck School but is a real service bulletin on current business topics which should be of benefit to progressive business men. In form it will somewhat resemble the review issued by districts of the Federal Reserve Bank, Babson's report on conditions, Dun's, Bradstreet's and other bulletins of similar nature. In addition there will be a local column and from time to time articles may be sought from younger alumni which might be of general interest to the business world.

The idea of such a publication really has a three-fold function. (1) Its publication will provide a serviceable review in summarized and up-to-date form of business conditions, which should prove of some value to the business world at large. (2) While not designed primarily as advertising propaganda, nevertheless its publication will do much to spread broadcast the prestige of the Tuck School and to enhance its reputation as one of the foremost business schools of the country. (3) The work in connection with the issuing of the bulletin should prove of inestimable value to the members of the second year group, who really assume the full responsibility, with mere oversight and incidental assistance from the faculty.

The committee in charge and the officers of the clearing house drew up the following slate of editors, which was ratified at the regular meeting last night: Kemp G. Fuller, editor-in-chief ; Daniel B. Ruggles, Jr., business manager; Robert P. Burroughs, in charge of production review; Orton H. Hicks, distribution and sales; Irving E. Blaine, finance; Millard W. Newcomb, accounting; Nelson L. Smith, personnel; John V. A. Hasbrook, business research; Tracy W. Higgins, local editor. The appointment and election for foreign trade relations has not yet been made. In addition to the above men, all of whom are ex-officio members of the board of directors, G. Harry Chamberlaine, and Robert W. Elsasser were chosen as members-at-large of the executive board.

M. W. Sherwood is also an ex-officio member of the board of directors of the publication as president of the clearing house.

While the above mentioned group will be in charge of their own departments, they will have recourse to various members of the Tuck School faculty in case of necessity, and the faculty members will have supervision over the various departments. Prof. H. R. Well-man, one of the first conceivers of the establishment of the bulletin, will be editor-in-chief and will be the final authority; the other faculty members are Prof. N. G. Burleigh, productions; Prof. R. D. Kilborn, finance; Prof. A. M. Peisch and Dean W. R. Gray, accounting; Prof. G. H. Tapley, business research; Prof. H. R. Wellman, distribution and sales; Prof. R. M. Keir, personnel and industrial relations.
