Tuck School
Charley Brundage T'l7 and Dick Allen T'50 are the new manager and secretary, respectively, of the New York Clearing House. They were elected March 20. at the annual dinner at the Advertising Club, to succeed Otto Taylor T'11 and Bob Rooke T'50. Major business of the meeting, besides the election, was presentation of a silver bowl to Mr. Burleigh, who is retiring in June, "in grateful recognition and sincere appreciation for his wisdom and guidance as a teacher and for his outstanding service to the School." In the hope "that Nat will see fit to offer a few of his choice comments on the worldly scene" - he did - members had invited no outside speaker. Dean Upgren also attended.
The Boston Clearing House meeting and election were held April 10, too late for the results to be included in this issue. Deans Upgren and Hill and Mr. Burleigh attended. The new officers will be announced here next month.
To drop from alumni to prospective first-year men: About 75 Dartmouth juniors "They look like a good group," says Dean Hill - have already been admitted to Tuck for the coming year, with consideration of several others deferred until June. Applications from graduates of Dartmouth and other institutions are coming in at about the normal rate.
And back to alumni: Fran Hummel T'49, one of our more prolific writers, is the author of "Show Registration List Offers Marketing Help" in February's Industrial Marketing ... Bob Wilson T'51 has gone to work as a market analyst for the Dewey and Almy Chemical Company, a division of W. R. Grace.
Ensign Charley Fleet T'54, a supply officer on a destroyer in the Middle East, is getting his mail on a catch-as-catch-can basis these days, but reports little delay in learning the world's political news: "Much of it is happening right under our noses.... The oil riches of the nations bordering the (Persian) Gulf are astounding, but not so much so as the abject poverty in which the people live. Their customs, living conditions and method of making a living seem to differ little from those described in the Bible."
Faculty activities: Dean Upgren, in addition to activities already mentioned, addressed: Dartmouth alumni groups in Orlando and Jacksonville, Fla., Milwaukee and New York; Jim Hamilton's 1947 hospital-administration alumni on their tenth anniversary, the Milwaukee Controllers Institute, a business economists' conference at the University of Chicago, and a meeting at Indiana University. He also taught at executive-development schools for Monsanto Chemical Company in Kansas City and for Shell Oil at Harriman, N. Y.
