Tuck School

Alumni of the period from the middle 1910's to the late 1920's will be especially saddened by the death of Gilbert H. Tapley T'17. Gil was professor of business statistics and Tuck School secretary from graduation through 1929. A more complete story about him is in the "In Memoriam" section.

By this time you've no doubt got your copy of "Economic Indicators: Their Use in Business Forecasting," the 21st in the Tuck Bulletin series. T'57s and T'58s will remember the author, Henry Piatt, as professor of business economics and assistant director of research in '56-'57- (Some others will remember him as an instructor in the College Economics Department a few years before that.) Hope you liked the new cover.

Faculty activities:

Mr. Olsen last month gave two lectures to 150 students of the faculty and administrative staff of the Army Medical Service School at Fort Sam Houston, conducted four seminars for senior-officer students in the school's Department of Administration, and, as adviser to the Army-Air Force graduate program in hospital administration, spent two days with the school faculty discussing curricular problems.

Mr. Frey will be on the faculty of the University of Michigan's summer Executive Development Program, scheduled for June 21-July 17 in Ann Arbor. (The U-M people didn't quite say this in their news release; they said rather that one Albert W. Fry of Tuck School would take part in the program. But Al confirms that he's the man they meant.

Alumniwise:

Olney Morrill T'21 has been promoted to senior vice-president of the Merchants National Bank of Boston. . . . Lew JohnstoneT'42 has moved from purchasing to the directorship of pulp marketing of Champion Paper and Fibre. . . . Dick Bowser TTh'48 has been elected a partner in State Street Research & Management Company.... Ed O'Brien T'50 is now a vice-president of Bankers Trust, New York.

Jim North '32 has moved within General Foods: from marketing manager of its Jell-O Division to assistant general manager of marketing in its Birds Eye Division. Except that he'll be in charge of advertising and merchandising, product management, sales, special and contract sales, institutional sales, market services, research and new products, he'll have practically nothing to do.

See you next month.
