Tuck School
On February 20 Ralph Lazarus '35 gave students and a few area businessmen a topmanagement view of the marketing problem as faced by a retailing organization. Title of his presentation: "Customer Preference."
He was the second speaker this semester in the Tuck Discussion Series. The first was Victor Borella '30, whose subject February 7 was "Automation and Lower Management Personnel."
Mr. Griswold has gone on sabbatical, but indications are he'll keep busy. Most of his activities will be in connection with the Carnegie Foundation's study of American busi ness schools; his special area (in which he'll contribute a chapter to the foundation's published study) is the teaching of finance. As part of the project he'll visit most of the country's leading business schools. He will also lead seminars on capital budgeting for the American Management Association in Chicago and for the Academy of Advanced Management in Saranac Lake, N.Y., and will attend a savings-and-loan conference in Chicago.
