PROFESSORS Gruen, Woodworth, Griswold, Olsen, Morrissey and Frey attended the meetings of the American Economic Associaion, the American Statistical Association and the American Marketing Association in Boston during the Christmas holidays. Much in evidence at general headquarters on the Statler's mezzanine were Ben Stacey T'30, who served as Treasurer for the Joint Committee on Local Arrangements, and Don Gilmore T'49, who had the equally important assignment of being chairman of the Registration Subcommittee. Francis Hummel T'49 was another alumnus in evidence at the meetings. Stacey is chief statistician for the First National Bank of Boston and this year heads the Tuck Clearing House in the Athens of America. Gilmore is foreign trade analyst for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Hummel is teaching marketing subjects at the University of Massachusetts.
Professor Gruen received word during the holidays that the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is awarding him a supplemental grant to permit completion next summer of his field studies on wood waste utilization in New England. He is also engaged as consultant to the Rand Corporation on their long-range study for the Air Force of Steel Capacity and Requirements in the post-buildup period. He points out that no more tedious commuting to Washington is involved; the cerebrations are to occur in Hanover while the calculations will be done on electronic computers in Santa Monica, California.
