Tuck School

SINCE OUR LAST EDITION there have been no very important changes in the affairs of the School. The four-term Supply Corps Candidates School program has passed through the initial adjustments and has settled down to as stable a basis as can be expected during wartime.

A considerable readjustment faces us, however, with the next term beginning in November, when we undertake our biggest job to date. The Navy expects to send 125 new V-12 trainees to begin the Supply Corps Candidates School program. With this new group, the enrollment of the School will be approximately 295 for the Winter Term, 85 trainees remaining in each of the second- and third-term programs respectively. With several of our regular staff in Government or military service, it will be necessary to draw even more heavily on the College teaching staff in order to carry out this assignment.

Dean Olsen has accepted an appointment as Assistant Director of the Study of Higher Education for the Committee on Education of the U. S. House of Representatives.

Dean Olsen was urged to accept this appointment because of his previous work in Washington in the field of higher education and with the collegiate schools of business administration. The job will take him to Washington for two months or more beginning in mid-September but he will return to Hanover for the closing of the Summer term and the beginning of the November term.
