Founded in 1900, Tuck was the first institution to offer a master's degree in the field of business administration. Tuck is known for its tight-knit community, loyal alumni and residential character and the school places a great deal of emphasis on these attributes. Tuck touts its distinct experience, ability to provide deep personal development and opportunities to build bonds with classmates and faculty. Tuck students, known as Tuckies, number around 560, the smallest student population among elite business schools. Tuck has a full-time faculty of 51, all of whom teach in the MBA Program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 About Tuck )〕 Tuck has over 9,600 living alumni in a variety of fields, and the school claims to have the most supportive alumni network, with the highest rate of alumni donation of any business school, at greater than 70%.〔(Dartmouth College: Tuck School of Business - Full-Time MBA Profile ).

Retrieved on 2014-04-12.〕 == History == At the turn of the 20th century, Dartmouth College president William Jewett Tucker decided to explore the possibility of establishing a school of business to educate the growing number of Dartmouth alumni entering the commercial world. Turning to his former roommate from his undergraduate years at Dartmouth, Tucker enlisted the support of Edward Tuck, who had since become a wealthy banker and philanthropist. Tuck donated $300,000 in the form of preferred stock shares in a Minnesota railroad company as the capital to found the school. It was named the Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance, after Edward Tuck's father and Dartmouth alumnus Amos Tuck.〔 The new school's annual tuition was $100 for the few students who enrolled in the first year; graduates of the two-year program received a Master of Commercial Science degree (MCS).〔〔 The curriculum involved both traditional liberal arts fields as well as economic and finance education.〔 Undergraduate professors taught most of the first-year courses, while outside guest instructors and businesspeople educated students in their second years.〔〔 As the nation's first graduate school of business, the Tuck School's emphasis on a broad education in general management was adopted by many other emerging business schools, and was dubbed the "Tuck Pattern".〔〔 In the late 1920s, Dartmouth president Ernest Martin Hopkins sought to unify the Tuck School by establishing a central campus, uniting the school's academic and residential facilities. Edward Tuck, then an aged man living in France, donated an additional $570,000 for the effort.〔 Using primarily his funds, four new buildings were constructed in 1929 on the west side of Dartmouth's campus.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tuck Hall (II) )〕 In 1942, the school's name changed to the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration, and in 1953, the degree program changed to the modern Master of Business Administration (MBA). Until the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Tuck School catered primarily to Dartmouth students, accepting undergraduates during their third year.〔 Under Dean Karl Hill (1957–1960), Tuck shifted its focus to soliciting a national student body. The resulting expansion under (Dean John Hennessey ) (1968–1976) in the late 1960s saw additional growth of the campus with the construction of a new dormitory (1969) and the Murdough Center (1973), which contains the Feldberg Business and Engineering Library. Under Deans Richard West (1976–1983), Colin Blaydon (1983–1990) and Paul Danos (1995-2015), the school's curriculum and faculty expanded extensively, and applications increased by one-third.〔 Since the late 1980s, Tuck has continued to expand in student body and faculty size, and has seen the establishment of four new campus buildings as well as several research centers and nondegree business programs.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tuck School of Business」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
