Tuck School
As YOU CAN gather from our "Notes" this . month, there is much going on at Tuck.
Plans are under way for the Tuck Commencement to be held on June 4, at 2:00 P.M. At this time the degree of Master of Commercial Science will be awarded to approximately 100 men—the largest class in Tuck history.
Applications for admission to first-year in October stand now at about 240. This number includes men applying for the Tuck-Thayer major and a very few applications from outstanding graduates of other institutions. Applications for second-year now number 115. This figure includes the applications of about 25 men who completed first-year either before or during the war. We hope to have the records of these very large groups examined and word sent out within a month or so. Personal interviews with almost all of the applicants have already been completed.
Dean Olsen was in Washington, D. C., on March 31 and April 1 as a member of a long standing committee on the Survey of Education for Business in the United States.
