Tuck School

WITH THE CLOSE OF THE PRESENT TERM, the Navy Suppy Corps Candidates School comes to an end. During the period beginning with the inauguration of V-12 in July 1942, and ending in November of this term, the Tuck School has had a total of 625 Supply Corps Candidates in either the regular or irregular status. The operation of this program has been the joint responsibility of the faculties of the Economics, Geography, Government, Psychology and Tuck School departments. A large portion of the men graduated from this program have gone on to active duty, participating in the Pacific and Far East operations.

In November we will have another strong Navy representation composed of men in the NROTC program, who have elected a business administration major. This group will have its work divided between courses in Tuck and in Naval Science and Tactics. Also in November the Tuck School will admit its first regular first-year class since 1941. This group, made up primarily of men xecently released from the services, will be able to complete its regular first-year by June 1946.

In March 1946 we plan to admit another first-year group and in addition we will offer our regular second-year program. Thus in March we shall have three groups of civilian students in addition to the NROTC Business Administration Majors.

Professors Harry R. Wellman and Herman Feldman, who were on leave during the July October term, have returned to resume their regular duties. Professor Wellman spent the greater part of the summer fishing for salmon, in New Brunswick. Professor Feldman re turned to his old haunts in Provincetown where he combined swimming and research work.
