Tuck School

FOR the first time in many a moon, these notes are being prepared by the "Dick's House fugitive" and Harry Duncombe is getting long over-due relief from the job. Unfortunately, this merely means that Harry has that much additional time for other Tuck duties and does not automatically grant him a few leisure hours long over-due.

Writing from the point of view of one who has been on the outside looking in, I can report that the mid-year examination period seemed to be about normal. The clarification of the status of draft-eligible college students released by Secretary of Defense Marshall fortunately came before exams began, and did much apparently to remove the uncertainties so evident in December. This contributed to better all-around performance; at least, it removed "draft tension" as an immediate problem during mid-years.

Prof. N. G. Burleigh returned from his sabbatical in time to take the first-year course in Management and Production for the last month. Nat had an opportunity to visit many industrial plants on his cross-country trip, and has much to report on current manufacturing techniques, etc.

Prof. G. W. Woodworth is recovering from his recent illness. Woodie had an emergency operation toward the end of December and has been on the sidelines since that time.

In January, there were several guest lecturers who met with Tuck classes. Among those who made significant contributions were:

Orton H. Hicks T'ss, Loew's International Corporation, who met the Marketing class January 19.

Alfred, L. Burke T'25, Duff & Phelps, Chicago, had two meetings with the Investments class on January 15. His topics were "General Aspects of Analysis of Public Utility Securities" and "Analysis of the Toledo Edison Company."

Eldridge Haynes, publisher of Modern Industry, met with the Management and duction course and the French students January 17. Mr. Haynes spoke as a representative of the National Management Council.

Dr. Robert Martin, executive secretary of Vitrified China Association, Inc., Washington, discussed the work of trade associations in a meeting with the Management and Production class January 15.

Dick Menin T'50 is the author of an interesting class newsletter entitled "Tuck '50 Inc." The issue which came my way was an interesting report on T'50 is first job assignments and the progress of various individuals during the initial months.

Ort Hicks T'22, member of the Alumni Council's Committee on Dartmouth Films, reports that the 22-minute color picture entitled "My First Week at Dartmouth" is getting an enthusiastic reception from alumni and prospective students. Any Tuck group interested in a showing should contact Bob Allen, 201 Crosby Hall, Hanover.

S. Lane Dwinell T'29 has recently been elected Speaker of the New Hampshire General Court.

Don Cummings T'50 is with Cheesebor ough's export division, and reports favorable progress.

Tom Huggins T'50 is now working on production planning and expediting problems for the Markem Machine Company, Keene, N. H., which has recently moved into a new single-story plant.

Walt Snickenberger T'48 was married on December 16 to Miss Mary Alice Warren. The ceremony was performed in Manchester, Vt.

Blair McClenachan T'48 is now with the Bendix Aviation Corporation in Elmira, N. Y. Blair reports that Sue and the twins are fine.

Jack Williams T'47 is reported to be in Korea with the 1st Marines.

And now for a commercial Dartmouth and Tuck can be proud of the excellent job Miss Lois Dunn and her staff are doing at Dick's House and of their contribution to the success of the Dartmouth Health Service.

BACK ON THE JOB after first-semester leave. Prof. Nat Burleigh 'll of Tuck School is shown with Mrs. Burleigh during their inspection of California.
