SOCIETY FOR ADVANCEMENT OF MANAGEMENT The Babson Chapter of the Society for Advance- ment of Management successfully continued its role of contributing to the professional business atmos- phere on campus. Through speaker meetings, field trips, business films, and various other activities, S.A.M. played an active part in campus affairs. During the year such prominent men as Mr. George Rideout, president of Babsonis Reports, and Professor Robert Austin of Harvard spoke to the S.A.M. members. Field trips were taken to the Boston Stock Exchange, the General Motors assem- bly plant in Framingham, Continental Bakery, and Carling's Brewery. Unfortunately, one of our faculty advisors, Mr. Rudolph Johnson, passed away early in March. To honor this highly respected man and pay tribute to his contributions to Babson Institute, the members established the Rudolph A. johnson Memorial Schol- arship Award, to be presented annually at Honors Day to the senior majoring in Management and Production with the highest academic average. The recipient's name is to be engraved on the trophy which is to be kept in the trophy case in the Student Center. The first recipient was Lyman D. Vincola. April 6, 1966, marked the annual S.A.M. Full Day Conference. The theme of this year's conference was Current Trends and Developments in Business, giving a wide choice in both speakers and topics. Speakers included two economists, Mr. Robert Eisenmenger, Vice President and Director of Re- search of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and Dr. Robert Wertheimer, Professor of Economics at Babson, a leading industrial consultant in computer applications, Mr. Jerome Kanter of Honeywell's Electronic Data Processing Division, a leader in organized labor, Mr. Francis Lavigne, Director of the Department of Education and Research, Massa- chusetts State Labor Council, AFL-CIO, and Mr. Herbert E. Tucker, Ir., an Assistant to the Attorney General of Massachusetts. Together the five sessions offered subjects of interest and relevance to all. Later in April the Babson Chapter played host to a regional convention of S.A.M. University Chapters. Delegations traveled from as faraway as Norwich University for the afternoon of informal discussions and talks. In addition to the professional activities, S.A.M. engaged in several activities of a more social nature. Again this year S.A.M. entered a candidate, Buster Babson, in the campus mayoralty campaign. The campaign was built around the theme of Buster Brown and featured a 20 foot long, 10 foot high shoe. Also, a festive banquet was held at the end of each term, all three at the King Philip in Wrentham. In retrospect, S.A.M. has had another highly suc- cessful year. Three new advisors, Dr. Wallace P. Mors, Mr. Abed A.U. Malki, and Mr. Stewart L. Stokes, Ir.. were initiated into membership. Prospects for a high standing among other chapters in the nationwide competition were excellent, as plans for next year's activities were taking shape.
