Tuck School

Happily back from a highly successful three-week recruiting trip to the Mid-West, your reporter settles down quietly to put you in the know on goings on with our alumni body. Incidentally, on my visits to fifteen colleges and universities it was quite apparent to me that the Tuck name and its friends are quickly growing.

In the news, let's turn first to the faculty.

Dean Hill participated in a panel at Denison University Convocation on October 18 on the subject "Is Today's Liberal Arts Education Adequate Preparation for Tomorrow's Leaders?" He also spoke at Trinity College in Hartford on November 2, in a panel concerned with the subject: "Graduate Business School, Law School, Urban Affairs and International Relations." The next day he was a luncheon speaker in Atlanta, Georgia, at the National College Relations Conference which was attended by prominent business leaders and representatives from Negro colleges.

Dean Hill has been appointed a member of the Advisory Committee on Logistic Management Training for the Office of the Secretary of Defense. As a member of this panel he will visit several installations to observe training methods. He also is a member of the Golden Anniversary Visiting Committee of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business which is observing its 75th anniversary this year. As a member of the committee, Dean Hill will visit member schools in the New England area.

Professor Mayer presented a paper entitled "A Search for the Rationale of the New Probability Sample Designs" at the 49th National Conference of the American Marketing Association in Washington, D. C. Also in the marketing department, Professor Webster participated in a Field Sales Management Seminar for the General Electric Company at Tarry town, N. Y. ProfessorDavis attended the Eastern Annual Conference of the American Association of Advertising Agencies. Both Professor Davis and Professor Webster taught in the weeklong Management Conference on Marketing Strategy held at the Transportation Center at Northwestern University.

Professor Griswold recently attended the Conference on International Banking at Georgetown University and Professor Broehl, who is a director of the Great Issues Course at the College, spoke to executives of du Pont's management seminar on "Business and the Changing World" in Washington, D. C.

Tuck, in a continuing program of bringing top speakers to the School, was fortunate this past month in having the followingen on campus: Professor Paul McCracken of Michigan (former member of the Council of Economic Advisers) discussing the problems and techniques of forecasting general business conditions; Gerald Swope Jr. '29, general operations counsel for General Electric; Frank S. Capon, vice president of du Pont of Canada, Ltd.; Thomas R. Richards of Intercredit Agency, Inc.; Mr. John Adler T'49, vice president of Audits and Surveys Co., Inc.; Irving Roshwalh, likewise a vice president of Audits and Surveys, and Mr. Robert W. Pratt Jr., an economist for General Electric.

News of alumni is sparse this month. The grapevine hasn't been humming. Norman W. Brown T'45 has recently been appointed to the newly created post of development director for Brockton-Taunton ("Mass.) Gas Co. Charles W. Readings Jr. T'49, vice president in charge of the Bache & Co., Inc., Syndicate Dept., has been elected a director of that firm. Carl L. Glassberg T'52 wrote to say that he has become a partner in the firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., with responsibilities in PPM & Co.'s New York tax department. Geoff Murphy T'64 has completed eight weeks of Reserve Training and returns to New York now to resume work.

In passing, I might mention that I saw Jerry Garbacz T'65 and John Stanton T'65 in Columbus, Indiana, last month and both are very satisfied with their work at Cummins I called Dave Stenger T'65 and Pete Luitweiler T'65 on my journeys and they, too, are enjoying their first taste of business. Dave is working for a division of Eli Lilly and Pete is senior analyst in the South American marketing department of Gulf. Pete Kalustian T'65 writes of his interest in his job at Pfizer.

Finally, Denny Denniston T'65 joined Roy Abbott T'53 on a recent visit to Tuck. Denny and Roy, of course, are at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City.

I guess that's the news. I look forward to hearing from all alumni on their activities and whereabouts. Keep in touch.
