Tuck School

Commencement is less than two weeks away (from date of reading) and another academic year has rushed past. It has been an eventful year at Tuck. Karl and Phyllis Hill are soon to depart for St. Louis and we shall all miss their presence and Karl's guiding hand more than words can express. Karl's magnificent accomplishments remain forever and for this we are very grateful. Our heartfelt thanks and very best wishes for a rewarding and enjoyable life at Washington University in St. Louis go to them both.

Associate Dean John W. Hennessey, Karl's closest administrative colleague, moves into the Dean's office on July 1. Dean Hennessey's long association with the Tuck School and with Karl, starting in 1957 as Professor of Business Administration and from 1962 to date as Associate Dean, prepares him well to carry on the exciting work being done here at the School. We all join in wishing him success and satisfaction in his new post.

Prof. Ronald F. Wippern has been appointed Associate Dean and will be responsible for principal academic activities of the School, beginning July 1. Professor Wippern received both his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Colorado and went on to Stanford University where he received his doctorate in 1964. He taught at the University of Minnesota Business School before coming to Tuck as an assistant professor in 1966. Promoted to associate professor in July 1967, Professor Wippern's major field is Finance and Economics. It is a pleasure to welcome him to the administrative suite.

We announce with regret the retirement of Prof. G. Walter Woodworth after 38 years of association with Tuck School. "Woody" first came to Hanover in 1930 and taught Money and Banking to many of the men reading this report. He left in 1952 to teach at the University of Michigan and then went to the University of Illinois to a distinguished research professorship from 1959 to 1962. "Woody" returned to Tuck in 1962 and has contributed a great deal to the life and educational progress of the School during this exciting period of growth. He and Betty are firmly established as premier citizens of Norwich, Vt., so we look forward to continued association with them both even though he has left the lecture hall.

Men such as these speak well for the future of the Amos Tuck School as they have spoken for the past. The School and all of its alumni are extremely fortunate to have had the benefits of their leadership.

This is the last column of the year so we will try to mention briefly recent developments in Tuck career paths. Paul P. TwomeyT'49 has joined Continental Can Company as assistant comptroller and corporate control officer. Paul F. McGourty T'59 has been named director of marketing and vice president of the Singer Company of Canada, Ltd. Peter E. Hager T'63 has been promoted to investment manager in the Prudential Insurance Company's bond department. JoelB. Alvord T61 was appointed vice president and assistant cashier at the Hartford National Bank and Trust Company.

Thomas Lee Davidson T'54 has been named a vice president of Oxtoby-Smith Incorporated, a New York advertising firm. William H. Truex T'31 has been appointed secretary of the New Hampshire Insurance Company. Robert J. Eigen T'59, recently associated with Sonnenblick-Goldman Corporation, has announced the formation of R. J. Eigen Company in New York, specialists in real estate financing. John WarrenMoore T'33 was elected senior vice president, administration of American Airlines. He was formerly treasurer of Lever Brothers Company.

Turning to the younger classes, DanDonaldson T'66, now marketing and sales manager for Smith Metal Arts, has passed on the news that Charles Mitchell T'66 is in charge of production scheduling for four of Boise Cascade's leading paper mills, and that John Catlett T'66 is a program director for King Broadcasting Company in Seattle.

That does it for this year, and I hope that I haven't left out too many important notices. If so please let me know and you will get first notice in the early fall issue. We hope to hear from a lot of you during the summer but, better yet, come to Hanover and pay us a visit.

Best regards from the hills.
