Tuck School

The months roll relentlessly on, as the students become more intelligent, the faculty more exhausted, and trie administration more convinced that a small army couldn't complete the work to be done. This is obviously the time of year when new challenges far outnumber fulfilled accomplishments, but to be perfectly honest, this is part of the excitement of l uck. So much is going on — so much of real significance is being accomplished – and so much remains to be done – that the pace is always frantic but the satisfactions great. I hope that you felt some of this excitement and sense of real progress in the Dean's recent annual report.

in one phase of the ongoing work with which you are all familiar, we are in the midst of our annual placement season and the place is really jumping. One hundred and sixty-two companies will come to Hanover between January 11 and March 8, and because of a growing number of multiple schedules we shall post close to 300 individual schedules during the eight-week season. And all of this effort is for 86 graduates, plus, of course, a smaller number of interested first-year men. This represents real opportunity for the students - and it is safe to say that they are taking full advantage of it.

One of the fine benefits of this program to yours truly is in meeting the growing number of Tuck alumni who come to Hanover to recruit for their companies. Your names are too numerous to mention here but I do want you to know that it is a real pleasure to see you and I shall look forward to many such visits in the years to come.
