Tuck School
As all Tuck alumni will have heard by now, Mr. Hill will move up from the associate deanship next month to succeed Dean Upgren, who is going to Macalester College, St. Paul, to be Frederic R. Bigelow Professor of Economics and director of the newly created Macalester Bureau of Economic Studies. To Dean Upgren we express our appreciation of his imaginative and creative leadership of the past five years, our gratitude that circumstances gave us the opportunity to know him personally, our regret that he's leaving us, and our best wishes in his new post. To Dean Hill we express simply our happiness that he'll take over the reins. We'll not congratulate him; we feel that everyone else connected with Tuck is more to be congratulated on the appointment than he is.
