At yesterday's Town Meeting, two of Babson's faculty and staff service awards were given. Allan Cohen, Edward A. Madden Distinguished Professor of Global Leadership, was awarded the 2008 Walter H. Carpenter Prize for Exceptional Contributions to Babson College.
The 4C Awards went to Jamie Wiss Doherty, Carolyn Langdon Place, and Cathy Shea.

Congratulations to all!

I was reading last week's Free Press and discovered a profile on the Archives on page two. As much as I enjoyed hearing nice things about the archives, I was particularly thrilled to hear how fired up people were for Beaver Bowl.  I hope that that interest in Babson's history carries on into the participant's future.

Thanks very much.

I have just swapped out the greyscale scans of our Newton Manuscripts for color scans of the same items. Enjoy.

We were told that Professor Timmons died at home yesterday.  A more thorough biographic piece will be available from someplace on campus but I thought I'd share a few of the documents I have regarding him.

How to Shop for Venture Capital by Jeffry A. Timmons, Babson Alumni Bulletin, Fall 1983.

This Professor Practices What he Preaches by Dianne Coryell, Babson Alumni Bulletin, Fall 1983.
