Job and application-for-admission interviews are proceeding apace. About 140 have applied for admission from the college. Looks like "capacity enrollment and another strong first-year class," says Dean Hill.

Many faculty members are busy. (If alumni are, they still aren't telling us.) Mr. Quinn recently (1) successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation; (2) spoke to the Connecticut chapter of the National Association of Accountants on "Make or Buy;" (3) was the author of "Comprehensive Research Evaluation" in the January-February issue of "Electromechanical Design;" (4.) attended a National Association of Purchasing Agents seminar on "Relationships with Schools and Colleges;" (5) was named to the NAPA's permanent Planning Committee.

Messrs. Frey and Davis jointly led Association of National Advertisers workshop sessions in New York, Detroit and Chicago on their report to the advertising industry. Mr. Frey chaired a similar session solo in Pebble Beach, Calif., and spoke to Texas newspaper publishers on the same subject in Corpus Christi.

Mr. Schleifer spoke at Purdue University on "The Economics of Sampling in Marketing Research and Quality Control" and attended, with Mr. Morrissey, an AMA conference on electronic computers. In New York the two visited Price Waterhouse, where they talked with, among others, Bob FieldT'47 and Art Toan '36.

Mr. Olsen attended a meeting of University of Chicago on-campus faculty and "preceptors" to discuss the hospital-administration program at Chicago's Graduate School of Business Administration. The "preceptors" are administrators of top-flight hospitals (all over the country) where candidates for Chicago's MBA in hospital administration take a year's residence as part of their degree requirements.

Mr. Burger chaired the second half (first half was early in February) of an AMA seminar on "How to Write Financial Reports."

Ralph Lazarus '35 (1), president of Federated Department Stores, was in Hanover Feb. 20 to lecture to Tuck School students about marketing problems. With him is Karl Hill '38, dean of Dartmouth's business school.
