Tuck School

It's news time again and with a full mail bag I will forgo elaborate opening remarks and get right to it.

One addition to last month's report on faculty activities concerns Prof. "Woody" Woodworth. Woody has been active in the publishing field during the past year with the release of a major book, "The Management of Cyclical Liquidity of Commercial Banks," and two articles appearing in the National Banking Review in June 1967 and in The Bankers Magazine in the 1967 autumn issue. Prof. Brian Quinn received another McKinsey Award for writing in the Harvard Business Review. The second award for Professor Quinn was for his article entitled "Technological Forecasting."

Special tribute should be paid to JohnRosenwald T'53, Jay Urstadt T'51, RogerMalkin '53 and their great committee for the superb New York Tuck Alumni Association dinner in January. Close to 500 Tuck alumni and friends enjoyed featured speakers Senator Vance Hardke of Indiana, James Judelson, president of Gulf and Western, and Elliot Janeway. The dinner was a great success and will be followed by similar affairs in the future. Incidentally, the New York alumni group is becoming very active and is considering proposals for a broader structure to involve more interested New Yorkers.

John K. Benson T'32, a devoted Overseer of the Tuck School, has been elected President of the Shawmut Association, Inc. and Vice Chairman of the National Shawmut Bank of Boston. He is closely associated with Lawrence H. Martin, D'28, chairman of the bank. Congratulations to both of these gentlemen on their outstanding successes.

Bay Yee T'54 writes from Honolulu: ... I made the decision to go into business for myself in the area of financial management consulting. There is a great need for this type of service in Hawaii, since many companies are growing rapidly with very limited know-how in the area of financial matters, especially as it relates to the Tuck School 'Cost-Price-Profit' formula." Good luck on your new venture! Another report on a new company was received at the New York Tuck Alumni Association dinner held in January. Bob Eigen T'59 is President of R.J.
