The twenty-fourth President of Harvard was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on April 4, 1907, and acceeded to his present position 46 years later. After graduating from Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs, he entered Harvard College, where he majored in English and Compara- tive Literature, and graduated with an A.B. degree magna cum laude in 1928. Mr. Pusey then traveled in Europe for one year, and upon his return began teaching near New York City, at the Riverdale Country School. After receiving his M.A. degree in 1932, he served as part-time assistant in History at Harvard during 1932-33 and spent the following year in Greece as an Archibald Coolidge Fellow. In 1935, President Pusey went to Lawrence College as a Sophomore Tutor in an experimental program of liberal arts education, but subsequently returned to Harvard to complete his graduate work, receiving a Ph.D. in 1937. Mr. Pusey was an Assistant Professor of History and Literature at Scripps College from 1938 to 1940. In the latter year, he joined the faculty of Wesleyan University to take part in the development of new liberal arts courses for freshmen and soph- omores, and three years later, became an Associate Professor of Classics. In 1944, at the age of 37, he was named President of Lawrence College, where he served for nine years. 1 In 1953, Mr. Pusey was elected President of Harvard. His administration has been marked by vigorous efforts to increase the endowment funds of the University and to improve its physical plant. NATHAN MARSH PUSEY Prefident of Harvard University

ERWIN NATHANIAL GRISWOLD ,,g:-- Dean and Langdell P1'0fe.rJ0r of Law When labor finds its work load over- bearing, it turns to management. But to whom can management turn? This is the problem facing Dean Erwin Griswold, who engages in a minimum 80 hour work week almost 52 weeks a year. The Dean's prob- lem is compounded by the fact that he enjoys the entire range of his activities and the resultant responsibilities that are incumbent upon him. In addition to his numerous administra- tive duties as Dean, Mr. Griswold teaches, does extensive reading and writing in the legal field, is Chairman of the American Bar Association's Special Committee on Professional Relations, is a member of President Kennedy's United States Com- mission on Civil Rights, serves as Co-Chair- man of the National Conference of Lawyers and Certified Public Accountants, and is a member of the ABA's Special Committee on World Peace Through Law. Such activities require much travelling, and since travel constitutes one of the Dean's major interests fothers include read- ing and golfj, it is not surprising to discover that Mr. Griswold has journeyed across America, Africa, Australia, Russia and New Zealand in the past few years. Although recently mentioned as a poten- tial Ambassador to Australia, Mr. Griswold is perfectly content in his present role as Dean of a Law School whose momentum and achievements show no sign of wearing off. The Dean plans to spend his vacation in Western Canada this summer, relaxing and playing golf. But, since he will be near San Francisco, and the American Bar Association is meeting in that city in August. . . With Dean Griswold, it's merely a matter of mixing pleasure with pleasure.
