Tuck School
THE DETAILS on the Walter A. Jacobs Memorial Prize are given in another section of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE for this month and, therefore, we will not repeat that information here. Bob Fisher D'45, and a resident of Scarsdale, New York, was selected by the Faculty and the students in the first-year class to be the recipient of the Prize. All of us feel that this is a great honor. We on the Faculty are proud to be able to offer such an attractive and appropriate prize and we feel that it is a most fitting Memorial for a young man of whom we all thought highly.
This being the last issue of the Notes until fall, we thought you might be interested in some of the details on the second-year graduation exercises. The plans are still in the formative stage. However, it appears that there will be in the neighborhood of 350 persons attending the exercises; approximately 100 candidates for the M.C.S. degree and 250 wives, parents, relatives, friends and Faculty. We have been toying with the idea of holding the exercises on the green just to the south of Stell Hall, weather permitting. President Dickey will be on hand to award the degrees, Dean Olsen will, as usual, be officiating and we hope to present an innovation in the form of a speaker representing the class. We still plan to have the ceremony simple and informal and to follow it with a tea to be provided through the good offices of Mrs. Hay ward of the Dartmouth Dining Association and Miss Nelson of Stell Hall.
Plans are under way for an informal secondyear class Faculty party. The details are being arranged by the Social Committee composed of Bob Laggren, Ed Woolman and Dick Mayberry. That the Faculty may come through the baseball game without too many injuries is the goal toward which we are pointing.
