Tuck and Tucker: The Origin of the Graduate Business School Wayne G. Broehl, Jr. 
|
In Tuck and Tucker, Broehl describes the foundation and history of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College and the men who brought the school into being. Desiring to "prepare men for those more modern forms of business," Dartmouth president William Jewett Tucker and Mr. Edward Tuck founded the first graduate business school in the country, which has served as inspiration for thousands of other such programs around the world. Broehl's history is complemented with photographs from the collection at the Dartmouth College Library.
"A simple idea–giving broadly educated students the education needed for a career in business leadership–formed the origin of the MBA degree. The values Dartmouth president William Jewett Tucker and Mr. Edward Tuck articulated over one hundred years ago led to the creation of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration in 1900 and remain at the heart of our efforts today. [ . . . . ] Wayne Broehl's book chronicles how, at the dawn of the twentieth century, Mr. Tuck and President Tucker conceived of and launched a powerful educational movement." –from the Foreword by Paul Danos, Dean, Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. |
