...from Charles Brelsford McCoy, 60, president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. McCoy betrays a hint of nervous candor not often shown at the 167-year-old firm, where fluctuations in corporate fortunes often have been shrugged off as mere ripples in the stream of its history. Lammot du Pont Copeland, now 64, who moved up to board chairman in 1967 when McCoy became president, more characteristically refers to the past decade of declining profitability as a "period of adjustment." The adjustment has been severe: net income as a percentage of sales has declined from...
Under the chairmanship of Lammot du Pont Copeland '27, the committee will solicit the necessary funds from a select group of wealthy benefactors, Merle Fainsod, Director of the University Library, said yesterday...
...Pont de Nemours & Co., the world's largest chemical firm, last week named the twelfth president in its 165-year history. He succeeds Lammot du Pont Copeland, 62, who moves up to chairman.

After reaching a record $3.19 billion in 1966, the company's sales in the first quarter of this year fell to $755 million, 4% below their year-earlier level. Profits plunged 24% to $78 million, and the company expects no better results from the April-June quarter. "When autos, electrical appliances, steel and home furnishings are down, it hits us right in the breadbasket...
...businessmen in the U.S. While many of the nation's board rooms stood deserted, the tycoons assembled to see the most important chief executive officer of them all. U.S. Steel's Roger Blough and General Motors' Frederic Donner were there; so were Du Font's Lammot Copeland, IBM's Thomas Watson, General Electric's Fred Borch-and 330 other chiefs of banks and corporations. Lyndon Johnson had invited them to a 90-minute session behind closed doors in order to sell them his "voluntary" plan for ending the nation's seven straight years...
