Tuck School
THESE NOTES are being written "between terms." Most of us are busy reading "blue books" and preparing for next semester's classes. The Carnival spirit is gradually taking over the campus and temperatures of anywhere from 20 to 30 degrees below zero make it certain that the snow sculptures will stand for a few days.
The returns from our 1947-1948 "Survey of Graduates" now stand at about 65%. May we use these notes to urge all of you who have not yet returned the information blank to do so. We will publish a new Directory of Graduates this spring and we want your name and all the latest information about you to appear in it. As Dean Olsen mentioned in his letter accompanying the earnings card, information given on it will be kept confidential. We will make available summaries and general class averages as soon as the cards are in. We are very grateful for the prompt cooperation which many of you have given us and we hope to be hearing from all of the rest of you soon.
