In the absence of the foregoing members of the staff, Charles M. Sears Jr. and Leonard E.Morrissey Jr. are helping to carry the teaching load. Since his graduation from Tuck School in 1920, Sears has been associated with the Retail Research Association, General Electric Company, Lybrand Ross Brothers & Montgomery and The Short Line, Inc. Most of his business life was with the latter company. From January 1939, to March, 1941, he was Purchasing Agent for the state of Rhode Island, Budget Officer and then Director of the Department of Coordination and Finance, responsible for the Slate Fax Department. Purchasing Department, Controller's Department and Budget Department. In 1942, he was Associate Director in the Transportation Conservation Division of the Office of Defense Transportation in Washington. From September, 1942, to July, 1945, he was with the Office of Strategic Services in Washington and overseas, and is now on inactive duty with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. During the current school year, he is teaching Administrative Controls and supervising placement activities.

Leonard Morrissey was graduated from the University of Rochester in 1946 and from Tuck in 1948. He taught Economic Principles and Economic and Social Statistics hi the College for two years following his graduation from Tuck. In 1950-51, he was Assistant to the Treasurer of the College, working on a variety of assignments, including budgeting, investments, introduction of Social Security for Dartmouth employees, and centralizing of purchasing functions. During this current year, he is teaching Accounting and Statistics.

A new scheduling arrangement is being tried out for both second- and first-year courses. Instead of the customary every-otherday meetings, each class meets on three consecutive days, either Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday or Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

A policy change for this column means that social notes—marriages, engagements, births —will be omitted hereafter. Since such notices appear in the College class notes and since, in each instance, they probably interest a very small proportion of the total Tuck alumni body, the change seems desirable. We do want to present news of business and civic activities which will interest other alumni. Please keep us informed.

Joseph W. Bishop T'37 has been promoted to the position of Associate Professor of Colby College, Waterville, Maine. He is head of the department of business administration.

Robert H. Wallis T'20, Vice President of the Controllers Institute of America, was moderator at an October 1 meeting of the Institute in New York. The subject—"How Conventional Accounting Can Cope with Inflation."
