Professor Olsen was named Tuck's assistant dean in 1930 and in 1937 he succeeded the late Dean William R. Gray 'O4. Illness forced him to resign as head of the business school in 1951. In addition to his prominence in the fields of financial management and business education, Professor Olsen is a national authority in hospital administration and has written reports, established educational programs, and served as consultant in this field.

Along with more advanced courses in Spanish literature, Professor Folger over the years has had a special concern for elementary language instruction and has been one of the department's most valued members in this effort.
