1938
The big news of the month, and good news it is, too, is that Karl Hill has accepted the post of Dean of the Washington University School of Business Administration in St. Louis, as of July 1. It is not surprising that one with Kelly's record of accomplishment here at the Tuck School should be able to land such an outstanding position.
"For ten years one of the nation's leading graduate business schools has grown and witnessed innovation with Karl Hill as its dean," Chancellor Eliot of Washington University stated. "His acceptance of-our offer makes me confident of our school's continued growth and renewal interaction with the community."
Under Karl's leadership the Tuck School's master's degree program has been recognized as one of the finest in the country. The number of Tuck students from other colleges has increased from 20 to 75 percent and enrollment has risen from 170 to 220 students. Dean Hill was instrumental in creating the Tuck Associate Program under which corporations and individuals of the business community support faculty research.
Tired of the New England climate and concomitant discomforts, the Stearns MacNutts have picked up stakes and taken off for Sarasota, Fla. "You will recall that we have a large house, and had numerous children; one is now in Alaska; one is in England; one is in Appleton, Wis.; and one is in Clemson, S. C.; so the 14 rooms seem slightly unnecessary, and even though I was born and brought up in New England, I have at long last had my belly full of snow.
"Barbara and I took our boat down the Intracoastal Waterway to Sarasota last December, and believe me that was a wonderful experience in itself. We are out on Longboat Key and can keep the boat right in front of the house, which shouldn't be too difficult to take, and we will have 12 months of boating instead of only six.
"I am transferring my corporation's charter from Massachusetts to Florida; so let no one think that I am retiring." The new address, incidentally, is 590 Wedge Lane, P.O Box 6064, Sarasota, Fla. 33578, Area Code 813-388-2924.
Another change of habitat comes for Dick Gilbert, who has moved to Greensboro, N. C. "Left the Mead Corp. in Dayton when I was V.P.-Administration to accept the position of President, Burlington Management Service Co., a new division of Burlington Industries, Inc. here in Greensboro. Have a son who is a sophomore at Clemson Univ. and a daughter a junior at Ashley Hall in Charleston, S. C. Guess what, I married a Carolinian."
Perennially in the political picture in the North-of-Boston region, Belden Bly is now a candidate for State Committeeman. A House member for the past 20 years, Representative Bly is an outstanding legislative expert on Educational matters. He has served as Chairman of the House Committee on Education and was the bi-partisan choice to be the Legislature's delegate to the White House Conference on Education.
The Belmont (Mass.) Rotary Club was recently privileged to hear from Charles T.Sweeney, Chief of the Contact Division of the Boston Office of the Veterans' Administration. He managed to answer innumerable questions about present and possible future veterans' benefits.
Still within the Bay State, Rog Buffinton has been named manager of the heeling-finishing department of United Shoe Machinery Corp., where he has been assistant manager since 1961. He joined the company in 1939 and has held various assignments since that time.
A very pleasant evening call came through during the past month from the further reaches of this great country, - namely, Dallas, Texas, where Daniel Appleton Marshall and Francis Xavier Reilly were holding forth. I shall not steal Dan's news beyond the fact that he has left the confines of Sears, Roebuck and is once again in the silver business, with Gorham. Still lives in San Antonio.
In the very near future, plans will be finalized for the proposed Princeton weekend for 1968. Gil Tanis has lined up a couple of motels not too distant from Hanover, and various pre-game and post-game functions are being planned. Complete details will come from the afore-said Marshall in the Pacesetter very soon now. Reservations are going to have to be made before summer, as accommodations for that particular weekend are obviously at a premium and guarantees have to be given. It is hoped that this will be an annual affair for the corresponding weekend every fall.
It doesn't embarrass me in the least, but it does make for a duplication of effort when people write the same news to Dan and to me at the same time. I have no reason to know what has occurred and, hence, print the good tidings here in this column only to have the identical material appear in the Pacesetter. We both appreciate any news we can get, but let's coordinate a little better in the future.
Now that the mud is gone and the new Inn is complete, a visit to Hanover is in order for anyone to cure that old nostalgia or just to enjoy the New England spring. Hope to see you in town.
