THE PRESIDENT OE HARVARD UNIVERSITY Doctor Blames Bryant Conant, President of the University, has stated eloquently the importance of the Fields of human relations and social relations to our society. Since these Fields are the embodiment of Elton Mayols work, we feel it appropriate to recall a particular statement made in this regard by President Conant in T948 at the 'lOOth anniversary of the Community Service Society ot New York. We quote . . . . . . in the application of sound knowledge about human relations lies the possibility of answering some of the hardest problems we have faced in making our industrial democracy work as a dynamic society ol Free men . . . . . . l-luman relations in our halt of tomorrow's world are the key to our survival. A totalitarian socialistic nation may be able to get on with old Fashioned ideas, but an open society with our ideals requires other instruments and a wider understanding of modern man. We need to put to use what has already been learned by the scientists concerned with the study ot man. But even more import- ant, we need to support the erforts ot those who are trying to push forward the boundaries of knowledge in this vast area .... -the start of the 1950 Annual Report JAMES BRYANT CONANT P re.ridw1t
