63 Receive Degrees at Tuck Graduation

TUCK SCHOOL graduation ceremonies were held Sunday, June 5, one week before the regular College Commencement. President Dickey conferred the degree of Master of Business Administration upon 63 Tuck students who were presented as candidates by Dean Karl A. Hill '38.

The Tuck School Commencement address, "How to Achieve Success in Business," was delivered by Bruce Payne, president of Bruce Payne and Associates World Management Corporation. He defined success as "the maximum realization of an individual's talent and potential channeled through some constructive activity which performs a legitimate service for others."

He further told the graduates, "I think it is well to be sure your goals are worthy of the sacrifice you will make for them. Here is where the overwhelming majority of people fail in business. Their goals are either misdirected, too limited or shallow to justify the price they pay."

Frederick E. Webster Jr. '59 of Auburn, N. Y., was awarded three of the seven annual prizes given at the Tuck graduation. He was awarded the Herman Feldman Memorial Prize, the Walter A. Jacobs Memorial Prize, and the Gulf Fellowship in Business Administration.

Randall Malin '59 of New York City was given the Scott Foundation Award; Tay Tinker '59 of Minneapolis, Minn., the James A. and Sebra M. Hamilton Prize in Administration; and Robert L. King Jr. '59 of Bellevue, Wash., the Haskins and Sells Foundation Award. Edward D. Russell Jr. of Tuckahoe, N. Y. was given the Charles I. Lebovitz Memorial Award. The prizes were awarded by George P. Drowne Jr. '33, director of admissions and student placement at Tuck School.

Four of the graduating Tuck students received degrees with honors. Mr. Tinker was graduated with high distinction and Alan R. Fraser '59, Malin and Webster received their degrees with distinction.
