68 Men Awarded Degrees At Tuck School Graduation
SIXTY-EIGHT men received Master of Business Administration degrees from the Amos Tuck School at commencement ceremonies on Sunday, June 4. The degrees were awarded by President Dickey after the candidates were presented by Karl A. Hill '38, dean of the business school.
The commencement address was delivered by Kermit Gordon, a member of President Kennedy's three-man National Council of Economic Advisers. He spoke on "Private Goals and Public Policy." Mr. Gordon is on leave from Williams College where he is William Brough Professor of Economics.
In addressing the graduate students, he said, "The businessman's influence on the shape of public policy is often crucial to the outcome, and the public economic policy which the United States adopts today and in the years ahead will help to determine whether the principle of freedom survives as a vital force in human affairs on our globe."

O'Connell, of Wethersfield, Conn., won both the U.S. Steel Fellowship and the James A. and Sebra M. Hamilton Prize in Administration. Robert B. Boye '60 of Short Hills, N.
