Tuck School

THE tabulation of the Tuck Alumni Questionnaires and Earning Cards is making progress. We have been proceeding slowly in the hope that we would be able to include a few additional late arrivals. The more complete the returns are, the better our summaries will be. Hence, if you have not sent in your questionnaire and earning card, may we urge you to do so. To date, our returns must be about 90 per cent complete.

The end of the semester which seems so distant when it begins just slips away in the last month. Within two weeks, final examinations for the second-year class begin. Commencement exercises are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 1. As we reported to you last month, the ceremony will be held on the lawn just south of Stell Hall. We are now in a position to confirm the fact that the class will be robed in hoods as well as caps and gowns.

The work of the first year class draws to a close a week after that of the second year class with examinations beginning on Sunday, May 30. There is always much to be done in this last short period of school and most of us approach it wondering whether we will really get it finished.

The Tuck School faculty has been giving very careful consideration to the curriculum of the school. During the past three months three very active committees have been considering standards of admission to the School and ways in which the first-year curriculum and the second-year curriculum could be made more effective. It is the feeling of all of us that we have made progress. The suggestions which many of you included on your questionnaires were of great help to us. We have leaned on them heavily, and we think our new curriculum will reflect this fact. The Tuck School bulletin, which is usually published early in the spring, will be delayed a month or so in order that we may incorporate the recent changes now being made in the program.
