Tuck School

I've just returned from New York City and would like to report on a highly successful Marketing Management Conference that Tuck School held for its Associates. Some seventy representatives from the marketing and personnel phases of industry came to the conference which was held at the Commodore Hotel on May 3. Professor Davis, Mayer and Webster along with visiting Professor John Jeuck spoke at the conference which dealt primarily with "Education for Tomorrow's Marketing Management." A second in the series of Tuck School Associates conferences will be held m Hanover on June 19-21 and will deal primarily with computer applications in the area of investments and financial analysis.
