Tuck School
The view from my window is spectacular. It looks like a midsummer day - bright sun and a brilliant blue sky surrounding the green pine trees, and no snow in sight. That is the view from my chair, but when I stand up and look out the window, I see approximately three feet of snow on the ground - good evidence that winter is still with us and ski-racked cars will continue to stream through Hanover. The mud season will be upon us in due time, but meanwhile we continue to enjoy the ski slopes. On to business.

The first alumni seminar on Quantitative Methods and the Computer was a great success. Twenty-eight alumni and members of Associate companies spent three days at the Tuck School going over modern concepts in Quantitative Methods with the faculty. They left with enthusiastic compliments about the program and with a greater awareness of developments in quantitative methods in the analysis of problems. The next seminar is scheduled for April 16-19 on the subject of Financial Management: Concepts and Innovations. And the final seminar for the current year will be on May 28-31 on Planning for Tomorrow's Markets.
Best regards from the hills.
