Tuck School

All Tuck alumni have now received the premier issue of Tuck Today and we hope this vital new feature of our alumni relations program has been enjoyed by the Tuck community. The next issue is scheduled for May and work on various features has begun.

One problem in trying to maintain this column is to report news that is not included in the class news coverage of Tuck Today. The following few items missed that issue and we hasten to include them here. Lee Hirschey T'58 was recently elected president and chief executive officer of Climax Manufacturing Company in Castorland, N. Y. Lee has been with the company since graduation from Tuck.

Richard Vaughan T'51 has been elected president of Northwestern Bancorporation, a bank holding company in Minneapolis. Dick is the fifth president of this 42-year-old firm and has been executive vice president of Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis, the largest bank in the Bancorporation group. He is a director of several companies and a trustee of Carleton College.

Norton Virgien T'48 has been elected president of the Greater Hartford (Conn.) Board of Realtors for 1972. Nort spent 12 years in sales and management in radio and television broadcasting before entering the real estate field. In 1964 he was one of the founding partners of The Heritage Group and has been very active in Hartford real estate since that time. Arthur H. CarterT'38, who recently retired after 32 years with the United States Steel Corporation, still remains active and has recently been elected to the board of trustees of Ripon College in Wisconsin. Arthur has been associated with Ripon for many years.

In Greater Boston, nearly 700 Tuck graduates were advised recently of the formalization of the alumni organization in that area. The first meeting featured Tuck Professor Brian Quinn on the timely subject of Environmental Improvement, and the profit opportunities available to business in this growing field.

In a spirited discussion from the floor, Professor Quinn chided businessmen for their obsession with the costs of ecological improvements. He said they should evaluate the new and exciting markets that are opening up as a result of public concern over pollution and environmental control. As a consultant to Congress and the Defense Department on this subject, Professor Quinn has predicted that entire new markets and industries will evolve which will add significantly to our Gross National Product in the next decade.

Other similar workshop sessions are planned for the Tuck School group on topics of vital concern to today's business leader, stated Robert A. Danziger T'57, incoming president. Other officers elected at this meeting were: Judson Pratt T'63 of Topsfield, vice president; Jonathan StrongT'59 of Wayland, secretary; and John J.Doyle T'56 of Weston, treasurer.
