NATHAN MARSH PUSEY President of Harvard University The past year has been a difficult one for Mr. Pusey. He has been villified by many elements of the student body as a reactionary, while other elements, particularly among alumni, have attacked him for being too permissive. Through it all, however, Mr. Pusey has kept his sights upon the central purpose of Harvard as an institution. An outspoken defendant of academic freedom, Mr. Pusey championed the cause against McCarthy- ism in the early fifties when it was still unpopular to do so. He now sees some of the same dangers in the student excesses of the past year. Once again Mr. Pusey appears to be championing an unpopular cause. President Pusey was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1907. He earned his A.B. magna cum laude at Harvard in 1928, majoring in English and Comparative Literature. After a year in Europe and several years of teaching at the Riverdale Country Day School in New York, he returned to Harvard in 1932 to complete his M.A. He served as a part- time assistant in history until leaving to study in Greece as an Archibald Coolidge Fellow. In 1935, he accepted a position at Lawrence College in Wis- consin as a Sophomore Tutor in an experimental liberal arts program. He returned once more to Harvard in 1937 to complete work for his doctorate. From 1938 to 1944, Mr. Pusey taught at Scripps College in California and at Wesleyan University. He returned to Lawrence College in 1944, this time as President, where he remained until 1953, when he was elected President of Harvard. I8 eqntwfmm1.,Q

DEREK CURTIS BOK Dean and Professor of Law The first year of Mr. Bok's tenure as dean of the Law School was marked by much unrest among students. The controversy over grades, the con- troversy over student participation in the decision- making process, and the more fundamental con- troversy relating to the manner in which the law school should order its teaching priorities have all brought much tension to the Law School commu- nity. It is a credit to Dean Bok that his administra- tion has been very responsive to student needs and complaints. A graduate of Stanford College, Dean Bok came to the Law School in 1951. As a student he served on the Board of Editors of the Law Review, receiving the LL.B. degree magna cum laude in 1954. He spent the following year in Paris as a Fulbright Scholar where he Wrote The First Three Years of the Schuman Plan. While serving in the General Counselis office of the Department of the Army, he studied for the M.A. degree in Eco- nomics, which George Washington University awarded him in 1958. Dean Bok's primary interest has always been labor and other fields of law involving interdiscipli- nary analysis. In addition to writing a number of articles on labor and antitrust law, he has been an arbitrator in labor disputes, acted as consultant to various government agencies, co-authored with the economist John Dunlop of Harvard a recent book, Labor and the American Community and co- authored Cases in Labor Law with Professor Archibald Cox. As chairman of the Continuing Committee on Legal Education, Dean Bok was instrumental in expanding the number of options open to second- year students. C5-4.
