As these notes are being written the Christmas holiday has just ended and we are all looking forward to a banner year at Tuck in 1950. Actually, it's a little difficult to believe that a new year is here. Winter has been repeating the tricks that it played on us last year and as I look out my window it almost seems as though I can see the grass turning green. The skiers and skaters are, of course, beside themselves with grief but for those of us whose affection for the great out-of-doors is somewhat below average, opinion can be summed up by the phrase that "it ain't so bad."

December is traditionally the month of professional meetings and many of us took the opportunity to attend. George Woodworth, Jack Griswold, Ed Gruen, Bob Davis, A 1 Frey, Herluf Olsen and your correspondent attended various marketing, statistical and economic meetings in New York. Lou Foster made a hurried trip to Chicago in connection with his work for the Atomic Energy Commission. Nat Burleigh continued his investigation for Governor Adams of the State's Appeals System for Unemployment Compensation. Dean Olsen has continued his work with the Brookings Institution begun a year or so ago. As usual it was a busy, pleasant and profitable period for us all.

We have a few notes about alumni. Dr.S. Morris Livingston T'28, who has for years been one of the top economists for the Commerce Department and who was responsible for the excellent study of "Markets After The War," has resigned from his Commerce Department position to set up shop in Chicago as a private consultant.

It has recently been announced that Samuel Rees III T'36 wtis the recipient of the Elijah Watt Sells Award. Sam won first award (gold medal) for receiving the highest grades in the semi-annual uniform CPA examinations prepared by the Institute board of examiners. Our warmest congratulations.

Ralph Butler T'30 has been named sales manager for the F. A. Whitney Carriage Company, Leominster, Mass.

Charles E. Brundage T'37, general partner in Brundage, Story & Rose, investment counsel, was elected a trustee of the Union Dime Savings Bank, New York, at the annual meeting.

H. Robert Marschalk D' 37, formerly president of the Alfred D. McKelvy Company, was elected president and general manager of Prince Matchabelli, Inc.

Dr. Thomas L. Norton T'24, Dean of the School of Business and Civic Administration, the City College of New York, has been selected to represent the National Management Council as a delegate in education at the Ninth International Management Conference scheduled for Brussels, Belgium, in 1951.

A few recent visitors to the School were John Adler T'49, Harold E. Clayton T'49, Orton H. Hicks T'22, Philip A. Gahm, Jr., T'49, Karl Musser T'29, Alan Hooker T'46 and Leßoy Jerman T'49.

We hope that when any of you get to Hanover you will come in and let us know you are here. Sometimes, through oversight, a man's name is not recorded and does not get in our notes.

Also, we would appreciate any news any of you have about yourself or other Tuck alumni. If you have any items, let us know, because there is generally a wide group of classmates who are interested.
