Tuck School

WE are now at the mid-term of the current semester and news of the School includes little that has not already been reported to you. Applications for admission to the classes beginning in the fall of this year are now running at a very high level and we find ourselves wondering how we can handle this situation to the best interest of all concerned. We are tentatively planning on much larger classes in the fall than we had in prewar years in order to accommodate as many as possible of the men wishing to return. We shall be able to give you more complete details on this in another issue of our notes.

Prof. H. L. Duncombe Jr. is now on leave from teaching at the School. He expects to spend the greater part of his leave in Chicago. He will return at the beginning of the fall term.

Aside from planning the volume and the contribution, he and Prof. Harry Bell, of the Economics Department, are to contribute one of the articles on the topic, "The Use and Abuse of Picketing." Professor Feldman had an article on "Public Employees and Unions" appear in the National MunicipalReview of April 1946.
