Tuck School

The mail bag seems to be full this month, thus preventing a long discourse on activities here at the "School. Brief mention should be made of our admissions problems - due to the draft regulations we are still uncertain about our enrollment for next year but it appears that we shall face a drop in total enrollment, possibly 25 % of the present student body. More on this later as the results flow in.

Tuck hosts its first 1968 Associates Conference in April at which Professors Wippern, Carleton, Bower, and Williamson will present results of new research in a conference entitled: "Research in Finance: Implications for Management Decision Making." Both administrators and faculty are beginning to become heavily involved in the multitude of conferences annually scheduled for the Spring Term and the work load for all approaches the saturation point. I am sorry to say that education has caught up to business in this respect.

Now on to the busy and fast moving alumni body. David F. Dodd T'57 has been appointed Manager, Advertising and Sales Promotion, in the Marketing Division of Smith, Kline & French Laboratories in Philadelphia. Dave joined the company in 1957 and has been in the Product Management area of the company prior to his new appointment. John K. Benson Jr. T'61 has been promoted to Assistant Vice President of the Worcester County National Bank and is now responsible for directing and coordinating methods, systems and data processing activities. Alan L. Greener T'59 has joined Becton, Dickinson and Company of Rutherford, N. J., as a product manager for this hospital equipment firm. He was previously with Pharmaseal Laboratories in Glendale, Calif.

Richard C. Goldstein T'66 has changed jobs and is now with the Financial Programs Company in Denver, Colo. Jay K. Gronlund T'67 recently joined Vick Chemical Company, a division of Richardson-Merrill. Jose Pascual T'66 was recently appointed Sales Manager of Kimberly-Clark, Puerto Rico, Inc. H. Michael Hecht T'62 has been elected a vice president of Stewart & Co. He joined Stewart's in 1965 after serving at Pogue's in Cincinnati, another Associated Dry Goods Corporation subsidiary.

A late notice involves the election of Walter N. ("Rink") DeWitt T'65 to the office of Investments Manager and Vice President of the Manchester (N. H.) Savings Bank. Rink joined Manchester following graduation from Tuck and has worked in various departments of the bank up to the time of his recent election. He is extremely active in community affairs in the Manchester area. Another late notice (I apologize for misplacing several news releases) concerns Theodore J. Suess T'64 who has been transferred to the Rohm and Haas plant in Houston, Texas. Prior to this move he was a member of the treasurer's staff in Philadelphia. One other late one concerns Howard FairweatherT'62, who has been promoted to Assistant Vice President of the State Street Bank and Trust Company.

Gary M. Schwartz T'63, who went on to Rutgers Law School following graduation from Tuck, has recently announced the formation of a partnership for the general practice of law in East Brunswick, N. J. Theodore E. Bachelder T'60 has been elected Vice President of the Boston Fund. Ted was formerly with Allstate Insurance Company and the Northern Trust Company. AnthonyM. Frank T'54 has resigned as President of the State Mutual Savings & Loan Association in Los Angeles to become President of Titan Group, Inc., a New York-based real estate firm. Donald E. Cummings T'50 is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the newly formed investment firm of Cummings & Taylor, Inc., member of the New York Stock Exchange. Headquarters of the firm are located at 24 Broadway. Don was formerly a founding partner of the firm of Bregman, Cummings & Co., also a Member of the Exchange.

I am afraid that this fills the allocated space for the month, but we, will continue in June. In the meantime we shall enjoy the new buds on the trees, touches of green on the lawns, and the disappearing mud on the campus. Spring is here!

Best regards from the Hills.
