Tuck School
As the hustle and bustle of admissions and placement begins to subside, I can see a couple of very interesting trends emerging. We received nearly 600 applications this year, 500 from non-Dartmouth sources, and many of these are from men returning to school from a hitch in the service or a couple of years in business. As for placement, students came back from spring vacation with more opportunities from more companies (and more money) than ever before. More on this when some solid numbers are compiled.
The faculty was unusually busy this past month and since I slighted them last month I'll give them their due this time. Mr. Hennessey and Mr. Webster have lectured in the General Electric Management Course at Crotonville, N. Y., on administration and marketing topics, respectively. Mr. Griswold gave a paper on "Corporate Liquidity" at a recent American Management Association seminar on credit collection and financial management. Other conference participants included: Mr. Guest, who sat in on a panel at an M.I.T. Management Seminar on "The Impact of Technology on Management Organization and Work," and Mr. Morrissey and Mr. Davis, both of whom repress Tuck at a Colby College executive development program. Mr. Guest, incidentally, also presented a paper on "Participative agement" at a Cornell-sponsored meetS' of New York executives.
In other news relating to the faculty, Mr. Mayer's article Requiem for the Truth-in-Packaging Bill? appears in the April issue of the Journal of Marketing.
Mr. Stone attended two conferences within the past month. The first was an AUDITEDP seminar sponsored by Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart, and the second 'was panel on Inventory Evaluation held at flip University of Florida. Rounding up notes on faculty activities, Mr. Marx has just re turned from a trip through six European countries, visiting graduate schools of management education. The trip, done on be half of the School, had as its purpose the study and understanding of graduate management education in Western Europe.
A quick note of reference on business leaders who have lectured to classes in the past few weeks. The list includes John Douglas, executive vice president of General Telephone and Electronics Corporation Nathan Ancell, president of the Baumritter Corporation; Tom Schwarz '57, account supervisor at Compton Advertising; and four executives of the Chase Manhattan Bank led by George Champion '26, chairman.
Turning to alumni news, David Kennerson T'38 has been named assistant manage: of Mutual of New York's Tampa Life and Health Insurance Agency. American Enka recently announced the elevation of RobertRodday T'41 to head its Brand-Rex Wire and Cable Division. Howard Phillips T'52 has been elected vice president of McCall Corporation, publishers, in New York. Special mention should be made of a fellow academician, Harry Guenther '55, who has been named Dean of Georgetown's School of Business.
The Stanley Works sent word of the naming of Thomas Gately as plant manager of the hand tool division. Tom is a member of Tuck '56, as is Tom Byrne of Hanover who happily reports the addition of a son to his family. Carl England T'59 has been appointed marketing manager for electronic warfare at General Dynamics Electronic Division. Things should be booming in that department. Allen Stowe T'61 has joined Alexander Summer Company as the administrator of this realtor and mortgage banking concern.
Colin Johnston T'62 has been named assistant cashier at the First National Bank of Chicago. Another member of the class of '62, Charles Maddrey, was married to Miss Mary Drury on February 19. Also recently married was Steve Osterling T'64 who married Miss Kathleen Manley in February.
Closing with news just passed on to me by Professor Webster, John Ferricr T'62 has been named account executive on the Crest account for Benton and Bowles, and Al Fraser T'60, who recruited here for Ford this winter, has shifted to the personnel department to work on a special management development program.
Next month I'll try to report on the placement activities of our class of '66. Until then,
