Tuck School
NEWS ITEMS FOR this column, while not officially rationed, have apparently been added to the growing list of wartime scarcities for the current month. Perhaps this is a healthy indication that everyone at the School is inconspicuously on the job. At least it can be said that the current semester is moving on smoothly, despite the fact that there are three separate groups of students instead of the usual two, and that various other wartime problems constantly arise.
Dean Olsen wishes your scribes to say that he is very much gratified by the generous response to his recent request that graduates write him concerning their experiences in the armed services in relation to the training offered by the School. Many of these letters have been exceedingly helpful in adapting the program to constantly changing conditions. Aside from the practical benefits derived, the letters are routed to the faculty who read them with keen personal interest. Let us hear from you if you have not written recently, and be assured someone of us will reciprocate.
The sudden death of Professor Murray on January 25 was a great shock to all of us here. "Bill" was almost synonymous with the School itself: he joined the staff in 1902 only two years after its establishment almost all graduates enjoyed the high privilege of sitting under him and all who knew him loved his warm friendship and his ready wit. Since his obituary appears elsewhere in this issue, there is no need to repeat it in this column. His loss to the School is an irreparable one.
