Hi,

I cannot find any information on Hassel Tippit, other than he was a Trustee and a Consultant from Ernst & Ernst, which later became Ernst & Young.

He should have more information on him if we dedicated a residence hall in his honor.

Thanks.

Chad-

I would recommend that you contact the University Archives to see if they have any more information on Tippit. I'm guessing they probably do. I did a quick check in the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History and didn't turn up anything. Red Cramer's history of the university might have something in it as well

You can contact archives at archives@case.edu or 368-3320.

Chad-

One other thing, I just did a simple Google search for Hassel Tippit and found some interesting documents that may illuminate who he was for you- for example there are some professional talks and papers that he gave and wrote dealing with accounting which will go a long way towards telling you who he was in his professional life. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for when you ask for information about him, but I think it is some interesting documentation.

(In addition to being an indicator of the age of Google, in which we can find, almost instantaneously, relatively obscure publications from a half-century ago!)
