Tuck School
MANY CHANGES have been made in our plans for the future. A directive recently issued by the Bureau of Naval Personnel brings to a close on November 1 the Supply Corps program which we have been offering for the past two years. These notes are not the place to burden you with the curricula changes required by this directive. Suffice it to say that it will make it possible for us to offer the regular Tuck first year program beginning in November and our plan is to offer second year Tuck work beginning in March
1946. In order to help men complete their work as quickly as possible, we plan to carry on through the summer of 1946 with a full schedule of work. Thus men who embark on second year work in March should be able in most cases to complete their program by Octobei of 1946.
Our relationship with the Navy will be continued through a group of NROTC business administration majors who will be taking part of their work at Tuck School and part in Naval Science and Tactics courses. In addition, we. will be offering two courses to a group of men to be transferred from Supply to NROTC on November 1. In total we shall have approximately 125 men taking part of their work in Tuck School.
