Tuck School
WE BEGIN this time on a note of tragedy as we pay tribute to Professor Herman Feldman whose untimely death occurred after this column went to press last month. We are still so stunned from the shock of this great loss to the School that we are only beginning to realize its extent both personally and professionally. All will remember him as a sympathetic friend, an original scholar, and a great teacher. Only this word is included here in view of the more adequate tribute accorded him at another place in this issue.
Professors Ross Stagner and Henry L. Duncombe Jr. are carrying on Professor Feldman's work in the personnel relations field during the current semester. Professor Stagner is a member of the Psychology Department and has offered work in the field of personnel relations for a number of years. Both men have worked with Professor Feldman in offering the course in past years and are, therefore, acquainted with his methods, techniques, and content.
