Tuck School
This month's column will include reports on both faculty and alumni activities. Normally we devote most of the November column to the faculty but the alumni mailbag is still full so we'll split up the space and report on part of the faculty news now, saving some for next month.
It was a pleasure to welcome Prof. Wayne Broehl back to Hanover following a year's leave of absence divided between a teaching assignment at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and a major research project on entrepreneurial systems in India. Professor Broehl's research project is sponsored by the Ford Foundation and is a collaborative effort with various Indian institutes and academicians.
Other Tuck faculty members also left Hanover in recent months on exotic assignments. Profs. Leonard Morrissey T'48, Kenneth Davis, and Ronald Wippern taught a week-long executive seminar for Graco, Inc., in Hawaii in June. John DonnelleyT'58, a vice president of the firm, was the senior Graco man present. Later in the summer Professor Wippern traveled to Chile and Brazil on a continued consulting assignment for the Ford Foundation.
