Tuck School
OUR PLANS FOR the admission in March of our first postwar second-year class are now in good shape. Needless to say, the mere fact that we can again admit a second year class gives our morale a tremendous boost. As we have reported to you in earlier editions of these notes, this class will complete its work for the M.C.S. degree in October. The achievement of this goal will require steady going on the part of all of us—students and faculty alike—but the job is worth doing.
A new first-year class will undertake the program in March along with the second-year group. For these men there will be little free time between now and June 1947, at which time most should be applicants for the M.C.S.
For those of you with a liking for the quantitative approach, the enrollment figures (at this date somewhat tentative) appear about as follows: First year, first semester, Tuck 60; First year, second semester, Tuck 35; and Second year, first semester, Tuck 40.
In addition, there will be a number of NROTC business administration majorspossibly up to seventy men taking one and, in a few cases, two courses down here.
During the past month we have been pleased and honored to learn again either by letter or in person of some of our good friends among the Alumni. Space does not permit a complete record but here are a few.
Kirt A. Meyer T'3l, Head of the Division of Women's Accessories, R. H. Macy & Company, gave a most interesting lecture to the marketing class on "Current Problems in Retail Store Management."
Henry Dahl T'4l paid us a visit while on terminal leave from the Army. During the war he was in the Finance Division holding the rank of captain. He is at present interested in the field of finance and investments.
Charles S. Stack T'4o visited the School to see Dean Olsen and Professor Feldman. Charles had a very interesting experience during the war in the Ordnance Corps.
Gordon Haverkampf T'3s has written telling us of his interesting work in the Navy at Trinidad, BWI. His work there as a Supply Officer has included being the Commissary Officer responsible for feeding 1,000 to 1400 men, as well as work in Surplus War Property, Bookkeeping Division, Issue Section, Service Group, Censor, etc. Gordon and his family hope to spend some time during the next year in Hanover.
A letter from Bill Falion T'3B written a couple of months ago reports that he is again back in the States after a tour of duty in the South Pacific. Bill is now teaching in the Navy Supply Corps School at Harvard and on his release from the Navy plans to rejoin Johns-Manville.
We were delighted to hear from Richard W. Tucker T'37 of his recent promotion in the Army to the rank of major, Finance Department. During the past two years he has been stationed in the Office of the Fiscal Director, Headquarters, Panama Canal Department. Among his many responsibilities is that of acting executive officer.
William J. Chapman T'36 is the author of a thesis "Financing Motor Carriers of Property" published in 1945 by the Robert Morris Associates. Bill is assistant cashier of the Mercantile-Commerce Bank and Trust Cos., in St. Louis.
A Regional Commerce Bulletin of the United States Dept. of Commerce reports that Benjamin F. Stacey has been appointed to the position of Regional Business Consultant to the Boston Office of the Commerce Dept. Our best wishes to him in this new undertaking.
