THE TUCK SCHOOL, along with the College, opened its new term on Friday, July 7, with a full complement of students training for Reserve Commissions in the Supply Corps. We now have two groups of men taking the fully prescribed Supply Corps Candidate Curriculum. One group has just entered the School and is made up of men who. have had their two terms of basic training either at Dartmouth or at some other institution in the V-12 Program. This group, which will be with us for four terms, numbers about 71 men. In addition, a group of 17 "irregular" students entered to begin work. We also have a group of 92 men which has had the first term of the Supply Corps Candidate Curriculum at Tuck and has now started work on the second term of the program. These two groups are following the course of study prescribed for them by the Navy. There are about 11 men, including 3 civilians, classified as business administration majors, with programs permitting them to elect their course of study. Thus, the Tuck School is now offering instruction to a total of 191 men.
To help us in giving these curricula, we have had the cooperation of a number of instructors from the regular College. These men and the courses they are offering for us are as follows:
Professor Harry Bell, Economics I; Professor Irving Bender, General Psychology; Professor Albert Carlson, World Economic Geography; Professor Clyde Dankert, Business Organization and Management; Mr. Robert Funkhouser, Accounting la; Professor Martin Lindahl, Accounting Ila; Professor Trevor Lloyd, World Economic Geography; Professor Lloyd Rice, Economics II; Professor Earl Sikes, Economics II; and Professor Elmer Smead, Business Law.
All of us at Tuck are deeply indebted to these men for the help they have given us in conducting our part of the Navy program.
