Tuck School

With 215 students representing 71 undergraduate colleges and universities firmly entrenched in Tuck Hall, the academic year here at Tuck has officially begun. And with this fall season comes an onslaught of reports on the activities of Tuck's always busy faculty and alumni. All the news that fits I'll print.

First, the faculty. Several new faces can be seen about Tuck: Professor Louis Foster returns to team with Assistant ProfessorDonald Stone in the cost accounting area; other additions include visiting ProfessorEarl Bell (quantitative analysis), visiting Professor John Brosky (finance), ProfessorDavid Bradley (case analysis and written expression), and Assistant Professor FredWebster (marketing).

Professor Quinn presented a paper entitled "Industrial Research and Development, Some Comparisons of U. S. and Western European Culture" before Institut Europeen D'Administration des Affairs, Fontainebleau, France, during a seminar sponsored by INSEAD. In September the Ronald Press Company published the "Marketing Handbook" edited by A. W. Frey T'21. Professors Davis and Mayer were contributing editors. Assistant Professor Webster has been awarded one of two silver medals for industrial marketing research by Industrial Marketing magazine in association with the C. D. Crain Jr. Foundation. His subject was buying patterns within the defense industry.

Professor Elbing taught this summer in the National Association of Mutual Savings Bank management program in Hanover as well as at Dartmouth's Alumni College. Lastly, Professors Morrissey, Bower and Williamson combined efforts to produce a highly successful Leasing Conference in June. Some 36 major firms were represented at the two-day conference designed to explore the many facets of the question of leasing and was sponsored by the quickly-growing Tuck Associates Program.

Many Tuck alumni have made news these past several months: Robert Rader T'47 has been named vice president of the D. H.
