Tuck School
It's faculty month in this corner. News of alumni is very scanty indeed.
Dean Upgren's New Year's greetings included the announcement that he's leaving us in June. He has been appointed the first Frederic R. Bigelow Professor of Economics at Macalester College, St. Paul, where he'll also direct the newly created Macalester Bureau of Economic Studies.
For both him and Mrs. Upgren, the move will be back home. In his pre-Tuck days the dean was professor of economics at the University of Minnesota, associate editorial editor of and economic consultant to The Minneapolis Star, and vice-president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Also, he got his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. He came here in September 1952. Since then he's been research director as well as dean.
Mr. Bodenhorn may be taking a last look back at Hanover precisely as you read this. He, too, is returning "home" - to the University of Chicago, where he'll be an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Business Economics.
We shall meet, but we shall miss them.
Fresh off the presses is "More for Your Capital Dollar: Finding the Realistic Rate of Return" by Mr. Griswold. The eighteenth in the Tuck-Sloan Foundation research series, it is the third by this author, who thereby takes undisputed possession of first place in the mosttitles race.
The thirteenth in the series, Mr. Davis' "Are Your Salesmen Overpaid?", was reprinted in somewhat revised form (under the title "Are Your Salesmen Paid Too Much?") in the November-December Harvard Business Review The January-February issue of the same publication contained Mr. Morrissey's "Dispute Over the Variable Annuity."
Alumni write, too. Bill Tongue T'38 and Wilson Wright '30 were two of the eight contributors to Business Forecasting and Practice, edited by Abramson and Mack.
Meanwhile another author, Mr. Logan ("Everyone a Stockholder?"), instead of writing, was being written about. The Princeton Alumni Weekly (he's Princeton '43) ran a story about his use of films of the '51 Dartmouth-Princeton game in his administration course. Also in the story was Dick Stevens, Princeton '54 and T'58, who played in the game.
Mr. Olsen conferred with directors of graduate programs in hospital administration from eight American and Canadian universities on their development and use of case problems. He also represented the CED at a meeting of the Business Executives' Research Committee of the College Community Research Council of Boston.
Dean Upgren was a panelist (subject: "What's Ahead in 1957?") at the Girard Trust Corn Exchange Bank, Philadelphia, and spoke to the Dartmouth Women's Club of Boston.
Gene Ulrich T'51, Arthur Andersen and Company, and Jim Gaylord T'51, Scott Paper Company, were a panel on manufacturing and accounting at Tuck, and Don Campbell T'53, Procter & Gamble brand manager, spoke to the marketing management class on introduction of new products.
Oh oh, almost forgot. Mr. Burleigh's been busy, too. "Had to shovel snow every day for a week," he reports.
