Tuck School

ELSEWHERE in this issue is the story of the testimonial dinner for Harry Wellman. It was a perfect affair, one that you all would have enjoyed attending. Harry has been putting in some very pleasant hours reading your letters to him.

Through the courtesy of Burroughs Adding Machine Company, the first- and second-year classes were given an opportunity to become well acquainted with mechanical accounting methods during a four-day period in January. A huge truckload of equipment was set up in the Accounting Lab, where ten Burroughs men from the Boston and Burlington offices demonstrated its usefulness.

Professor Griswold and College Treasurer John Meek attended a meeting of the Transportation Association of America in Concord

Mr. Sears has been busy interviewing both first- and second-year men with regard to their future plans. About 70 per cent of the 108 first-year men have indicated a desire to return for the second year. Seven men in the class are veterans, nine are in the NROTC, one is in the Navy, four have been deferred for physical reasons, three are foreign nationals, and 84 have been deferred through June to complete the current school year. Of the 60 second-year men, six are veterans, three are in the Navy, one is in the National Guard, four have been deferred for physical reasons, 41 have been deferred through June to complete the school year, three are probably draft exempt because of marital status, and two are foreign nationals. Apparently, only 15 of these men can plan to take jobs in June with any assurance that they will not be called into military service. These men should find little trouble in being placed, for Mr. Sears reports that February and March will witness a horde of business recruiters coming to Hanover.
