Tuck School
THE Tuck School faculty is now in the process of revising the Reading List which we have published since 1937. Unusually complimentary reviews of our last effort encourage us to think that our ReadingList is a contribution not only to Tuck School men but to a wider audience. Our new edition ought to be off the press in the early fall and we will see to it that each of you gets a copy with our compliments.
As in the past, the opening of the second semester has been marked by the appearance of several guest lecturers, who have brought to their Tuck audiences a varied and rich background of business experience and achievement.
