Tuck School
Happily for your reporter, school business called me to Atlanta, Ga., where I am now writing this report while lounging contentedly beside a swimming pool in a brilliant 85-degree sun. I could rave about this for hours but a large stack of news items sits beside me so I'd better start right in.
First I should report on the two highly successful alumni meetings in Boston and New York. Both were well attended and everyone joined in the wonderful tribute to Professor "Ole" Olsen T'22 who retires after 39 extremely productive years in education, the last 36 at Tuck School as Professor and Dean from 1937 to 1951. Newly elected officers of the two organizations were PhilSee T'51 and Charies Morrison T'55 in Boston and Roy Abbott T'53 and Art Lindenauer T'59 in New York.
