Tuck School
THIS particular issue of the Notes is the last one for this academic year. Hence, we find ourselves trying to make the rather difficult choice of devoting the column to what has happened or to what our future plans are. We have tried to strike a happy medium on this so that we can report to you a few of the highlights of the coming summer as well as some of the highlights of the past month.
You undoubtedly read in last month's issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE about the appointtomatic merit of a Board of Overseers for the Tuck School. We are flattered that such an outstanding group of men in business are willing to take the time to work with us on our problems. We are certain that the Tuck School will do a better job with their guidance.
In these days when change is the only stable element, it is hazardous to look very far in the future. We do think that the enrollment in the Tuck School next year will remain at approximately normal levels. It may be that our second-year class will be slightly below normal but this decline will be offset by a somewhat higher than normal first-year class. We could, of course, be all wrong on this.
The Tuck School will play host this summer to two special groups. Some of you may- recall that the Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management met at Tuck for two weeks last summer. This program will be continued this summer with Professors Foster and Griswold of the Tuck School faculty participating in the work. In addition the Northern New England Accounting Study Conference sponsored by the American Institute of Accountants will meet at the Tuck School in the latter part of the summer for about one week.
The annual Tuck Clearing House Dinner held in New York at the Advertising Club April 19 was a well attended gathering. Manager Joseph P. Merriam T'32 and Secretary, W. John Sauss T'46 provided an interesting program built around a non-technical discussion of "The Development of Atomic Energy in the United States" by Dr. Clark Williams, Director of the Department of Reactor Science and Engineering, Brookhaven National Laboratory. Olie Olsen reported on news of the Tuck School. Nat Burleigh and Harry Duncombe represented the faculty at the meeting.
