Tuck School

We start the year with three new Overseers, a new Dean, four new faculty members and four faculty members in higher academic ranks.

The new Overseers: Ort Hicks Sr. T'22, Congressman Thomas Curtis '32 and Charlie McGoughran '20. They replace Dick Lane T'08, Charlie Zimmerman T'24 and Albert Bradley '15.

The new Dean, of course, is Mr. Hill, who took office during the summer after being appointed last spring.

The new professors are John W. Hennessey Jr., George E. Lent, James Brian Quinn and Arthur Schleifer Jr. And the newly exalted ones are Messrs. Broehl and Davis, now full professors, and Angelo and Morrissey, associate professors.

About the new men: Mr. Hennessey, who's teaching administration, came from the University of Washington, where he was an associate professor of human relations and administration. From '54 to '56 he was assistant director of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation study of "The Human Relations Involved in Administering Nursing Services in a Large Modern Hospital." He's been a consultant to the Washington State Department of Health and the Kings County Hospital, Seattle, and a special examiner for the Seattle Civil Service Department. His A.B. is from Princeton, his M.B.A. from Harvard, his D.B.A. from Washington.

Mr. Lent is director of research and teaches General Business Conditions and Financial Management. He came from the Defense Department, where he was in the Office of the Secretary. He has taught at the University of North Carolina and has been with the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Treasury Department; intermittently from '46 to '56 he was a consultant and adviser on federal tax policy. His B.S. and M.B.A. are from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, his Ph.D. from Columbia.

Mr. Quinn is assistant dean and teaches production and production management. He came from the University of Connecticut; he was previously with the Research Division of Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, Inc. He has a B.S. in Engineering from Yale and an M.B.A. from Harvard.

Mr. Schleifer, teaching statistics, came from the Harvard Business School, where he was a research associate. He has been a consultant to Raymond Lowry Associates, Inc.; Andrews, Anthony & McLean, and the Management Analysis Center. His B.A. is from Yale, his M.B.A. from Harvard.

There were two summer schools at Tuck this year. Faculty for the Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management (July 30-August 17) included Paul Davis T'46 and Messrs. Broehl, Foster, Griswold and Upgren. Mr. Angelo was director of the VermontNew Hampshire School of Banking (September 9-12); earlier in the summer he'd been on the Dartmouth campus teaching assembled members of the National Association

of Mutual Savings Banks. Other faculty activities: Mr. Griswold conducted an A.M.A. seminar on capital budgeting in June; in September he took part in the Carnegie Foundation's Survey of Business Education. His particular area: the teaching of finance.

Mr. Morrissey (it can now be told) worked most of last spring on the college's retirement and group-insurance plan. The result: the new benefits that went into effect this summer. He spent two weeks working with Comptroller Funkhouser after the college fiscal year ended in July, and in August he attended a Seminar on New Developments in Business Administration, sponsored by the Ford Foundation, in Williamstown, Mass.

Mr. Davis debated the question "Are Your Salesmen Overpaid?" at the closing luncheon session (September 20) of the National Industrial Conference Board's annual marketing conference in New York. His position: They may be.

Mr. Quinn spoke on "Measurement of Research Accomplishment" September 5 at the eleventh annual national conference on Administration of Research, in Washington. The newest Tuck publications:

A report on the '56 Tuck conference on communicating economic research, principally by Herbert C. Morton, Tuck research director from '53 to '56 and now director of publications at the Brookings Institution.

And "The Role of Sales Promotion," by Mr. Frey. This is the nineteenth in the Tuck bulletin series.

Mr. Broehl has recently been in print, too, with "Ethics and the Executive" in the May issue of Dun's Review.

Also in print (again) was Fran Hummel T'49, former Tuck marketing professor and one of the most prolific writers among Tuck alumni. His latest: "The S.I.C. - How It Can Help You to Achieve More Effective Industrial Marketing" in Sales Management for July 10.

In Hanover for the big convocation in September were Chris Buxton T'55, from England, and ex-Briton Nigel Chattey, who's become an American citizen since leaving Tuck in '50.

We regret to report the death in Belmont, Mass., August 20 of William A. Harris T'15.

Help wanted: When there's news about yourself, how about letting us know it? We're having to pick up most of our news now in devious ways, and we're unquestionably missing quite a bit.
