McGeorge Bundy, associate professor of Government, was named yesterday to head the Government Department. He succeeds Rupert Emerson '22, present chairman. A rotating post, the chairmanship is usually held for three to five years.
Although Bundy was picked for a Junior Fellowship here in 1941, he declined. Instead, he served in the intelligence service during World War II and later as military attache to Admiral Kirk.
Bundy came to Harvard for a short time following the war, but left to aid Henry Stimson in editing his memoirs.
In Washington he also served as a consultant to ECA, and as foreign policy advisor to Dewey in his 1948 campaign. He edited a book of Dean Acheson's papers. In 1949, he returned to Harvard as visiting lecturer and was made an associate professor in 1951.
A specialist in the field of International Relations, Bundy now gives a graduate seminar in Theories of International Relations, and two undergraduate courses.
