Tuck School
THE TUCK SCHOOL has opened its doors to the new entering class of 125 men. This new class combined with those men continuing in the program increases the size of the Supply Corps Candidates School to about 285 men. This figure constitutes our full capacity both from the point of view of plant and faculty. With respect to the latter, the members of the Economics Department have again come to our aid and again the Tuck School must register its indebtedness to them. For those of you who are interested, the following constitutes a list of the men now teaching in the Supply Corps Candidates School:
Professors Harry P. Bell, Harold R. Bruce, Albert S. Carlson, William A. Carter, James F. Cusick, Henry L. Duncombe Jr., Herman Feldman, Samuel Feldman, Louis O. Foster, Robert D. Funkhouser Jr., Everett W. Goodhue, Martin L. Lindahl, Joseph L. McDonald, Daniel Marx Jr., Lloyd P. Rice, Charles W. Sargent, Elmer E. Smead, Donald L. Stone, Harry R. Wellman, George W. Woodworth.
Dean Olsen is serving as Assistant Director of the Study of Higher Education for the Committee on Education of the U. S. House of Representatives. This assignment will keep him in Washington the greater part of the time through December. He returned to Hanover for a few days in early November. He addressed the convention of the American Hospital Association which was held in Cleveland during the last week of September.
Professors Wellman and Sargent returned to Tuck School for the beginning of the November term. Both of them were on leave during the July-October term. Professors Duncombe and Woodworth attended the meeting of the American Academy of Political Science held in New York during the second week in November.
Special arrangements have been made for Captain Arthur R. Hills D'41 to continue work toward his M.C.S. degree during this term. Art was .called by the Marine Corps in January, 1942, during the early part of his last semester. He saw action at many points in the South Pacific, including Saipan where he was a casualty. He is stationed at Chelsea Naval Hospital for recuperation. The Navy willing, he will spend the period in Hanover.
This special arrangement for Art is a fore- runner of what will constitute a large and difficult problem for the School during the next few years. Many men, whose program of business education was interrupted by the war, will wish to return and complete the program upon their release from the service. It is the aim of the Tuck School to give all possible individual attention to the various special requirements of the men who return.
Ensigns Robert Gifford, Edward Rehurek, Charles Richardson and Raymond Zrike D' 44 graduated from the Midshipmen Officer's School at Cambridge at the end of September. Ensigns Gifford and Rehurek received orders to report in San Francisco for duty in the Pacific. Ensigns Richardson and Zrike were ordered to Jacksonville, Florida for further training in Naval Aviation Supply.
Ensign Thomas Beaumont D'45 graduated from the Miami Sub-Chaser School in September. He paid us a visit in Hanover in late September before reporting in New York for duty, on a destroyer-escort. Tom also reported that Ensign Richard Southwick D'45 is attending the Miami Sub-Chaser School.
Robert B. Hamilton T'42 is now with the Southern California Telephone Company in Hollywood, California. Frederick Bowes Jr. D'30 lectured at the School on October 5 on the topic, "Labor-Management Cooperation." He is New England Regional Manager, War Production Drive, W.P.B. Major Robert F. Brown T'4o recently wrote us from New Guinea. He mentioned having seen William Stone T'39 on the ship going over, and of having heard from John B. Maloon T'38 who was at Guam.
