DEAN OF FACULTY The DEAN OF FACULTY origi- nates plans for the next academic year by the teaching projection, recruiting new faculty members Cin cooperation with Division Chairmenj, and by com- municating data on book orders to the Bookstore. Dr. Walter H. Carpenter, Ir., serves as Chairman of the Academic AHairs Committee, the Faculty Rank Committee and the Tenure Committee. Graduate Assistants receive their initial Division assignments from the Dean of Faculty. Finally, and most importantly, the Secretary to the Dean of Faculty keeps in touch with students and faculty members alike as she helps solve signiH- cant problems. The chief concern of the Oilice is academic in nature both in terms of cur- riculum and people. Both these concerns occupy much of the Dean,s time. The operation of various administrative ser- vices rests largely in the capable hands of the Secretary to the Dean, Mrs. Mary A. Boyle.

DEAN OF ST DE TS Paul C. Staake, Ir. BABSON INSTITUTE OF IUSINZSS ADMINISTRATION OFFICE of Babson Fur. Mushoiusztrs. UZIS7 Drew or Srunmrs Ttirmoht :Aura 6171 215-1200 To the Class of 1966: it is natural to look upon graduation from college as an important turning-point in one's life. This means different things to different people For most of you, it will mean the beginning of productive business careers Cwlth perhaps a detour through military servlcej, and for many it will mean marriage and starting a family. For every one of you, however, it means that you will be a Babson man for life. 1 hope you are going to be proud of your new status as Babson '6o. All of you had the opportunity recently to read President Kriebel's message about Babson's pursuit of excellence in business edueationn' Your pride ln your alma mater is a vital part of this pursuit. Without pride, excel- lence is seldom attained and almost never maintained. If sometimes it has seemed to you that our progress has been slow, please remember that you view it with a perspeotive of only three years, In so short a time it is difficult to appreciate how dynamic and alive your eol- lege really is. If you will take pride in the progress that has been made, and care enough to help us to continue to move forward and upward, Babson will have an ever higher place among the outstanding oduoational institutions in the country. 1 believe that, as time goes on, you will have increasingly good reason to be proud of your diploma from laahson. 1 wish you the highest success, not only in terms of materiel re- wards but in what needs to go along with success to make it truly satisfying: the sense of worthwhile aeromplishment. sinoerely, f X w fs r .

DEAN OF GRADUATE SCHOOL Dr. Wilson F. Payne The Graduate School requires appli- cants to take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business. Multiple applications prevail at the graduate level as they do at the college level. A report by the Educational Testing Service for the year 1964-65 shows that 210 candi- dates requested that their scores be sent to Babson and to other graduate schools also. The list of over sixty graduate schools throughout the United States which were paired with Babson in the candidates, choices reveals an interesting pattern. The five schools most frequently paired with Babson were fin orderj Bos- ton University, Northeastern University, Harvard Graduate School of Business, Boston College, and University of Mas- sachusetts, all local Banking sixth through ninth were Wharton, Columbia, Dartmouth fTuckj and New York Uni- versity. The local pairings accounted for 51176 of the choices, the next four only 17920. Several colleges, including M.I.T. and North Carolina, were tied for tenth place. The significance of this list, aside from the good company it reveals, is two- fold. The first observation, and one which is reinforced by our own studies, is that the majority of students prefer to take their graduate work near home. The second and perhaps more engaging observation arises from a study of the other fifty colleges listed. Although they comprised only a third of the paired choices, a reader is impressed by their nationwide distribution. They range from Stanford, U.C.L.A., U.S.C., North- western, Chicago, Michigan, Michigan State to Cornell, Syracuse, Rutgers and others in the east.
