Tuck School

OUR NOTES THIS MONTH are brief. We are now in the home stretch of the current semester. Everyone is working hard and our first "normal" year has been accompanied by a real feeling of satisfaction in the job we are doing. This does not mean, of course, that our program is perfect; much still can be done. But, the slower pace has given a better opportunity to all to learn and this has been a genuine pleasure.
