Tuck School
Season's Greetings from the land of ice and mud; we're still waiting for snow - the type one can ski on. May be a long winter. Much activity in the past month and, so, to the task.
First, of general interest, Tuck was one of two schools exhibiting their work with Standard Statistics Corporation's Compustat tapes at the December 1965 conference of Compustat users. At this conference, attended by 450 business and academic users, we displayed financial analysis computer programs that have been developed, studies that have used these programs, student assignments using Compustat data in computer simulation, and a progress report on our efforts to develop a system and a language for handling Compustat data on Dartmouth's time-sharing computer installation.
Professor Bower, who along with Professor Williamson attended the above conference, reports the publishing of a paper entitled "The Practical Character of Capital Budgeting Theory: A Discussion of Capital Budgeting by George A. Skinner," in the Assembled Papers of the New England Tel and Tel Summer Conference.
Professor Webster's article "Rationalizing Salesmen's Compensation Plans" appears in the January 1966 issue of Journal of Marketing. Mr. Webster, along with ProfessorsMacdonald and Hennessey, has recently lectured to various executive programs for General Electric. Professor Guest also has been involved in management seminars, lecturing on "American Enterprise Abroad: Future Trends" for du Pont and Company. Mr. Hennessey received a special award from the American College of Hospital Administration for the best article of 1965 appearing in Hospital Administration, the College's quarterly journal. The article, "The Administration and Policy Process" appeared in the Fall 1965 issue.
Let's begin the alumni news with a different twist: Education. Four alumni have recently represented the College at various inaugurations and convocations: AndrewMarshall T'23 (Lehigh); Kenneth AndersonT'31 (Franklin College); William MarshT'31 (Atlanta University); and J. Dean Peterson T'41 (Fresno State College). RichardHenry T'24 is now on the board of trustees at Windham College.

Jeff Fine T'60 is now working for Clairol Corporation's International Division in New York. John Hashagen T'64 was recently appointed credit manager of the First National Bank of Rochester.
Other bits of news have filtered across my desk and deserve to be passed on. FrancisDrury T'48 writes that he's still in Tokyo working for Gulf Oil. Lynmar Brock T'56, president of Brock & Company of Philadelphia, has been appointed to the board of Northeastern Hospital in that city. EugeneYoungentob T'56 won the coveted Chartered Life Underwriter designation in St. Louis recently. He works for the Mass. Mutual Life Insurance Company. Ed Spiegal T'54 of Winnetka, Ill., has just been elected to the board of the National College of Education.
Rounding out the February news with a note on a Tuck man in community affairs. James Stephens T'37 is a section chairman of Springfield, Mass., YMCA drive.
That's all we've heard in the past weeks. Again, a plea for news. All the best to the entire Tuck family in '66 from all of us here in Hanover.
