Tuck School
A study of the response to the Tuck School publication program shows thai our booklets have won a broad audience throughout the country. Some of them are being used extensively in college classrooms and in company training programs. Of the 50,000 booklets distributed since last September, about half have been sent out at specific request of readers who wanted additional copies or who read about the booklets in the publications that have publicized them.
The "best seller" has been Mr. Morrissey's booklet on the variable annuity which has passed the 10,000 mark. An abridged version of this booklet also appeared in the April issue of Challenge magazine. Four of the publications have gone through three printings. We've had very little reaction from our alumni, however. If you have any criticisms or suggestions, Dean Upgren would be happy to receive them.
The two latest booklets are "Everyone a Stockholder? - Problems in Broadening Share Ownership" by Mr. Logan, and "The Effective Marketing Mix - Programming for Optimum Results" by Mr. Frey.
