To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

A joint committee of the American Economic Association and the American Political Science Association is at work upon a plan for co-operation between the universities on the one side and municipalities and other forms of government on the other side, in the training of men for public service. The Committee contemplates the establishment of a kind of research fellowships, and as a first step would like to know whether there are students of the universities (including Harvard) who have already had some of the governmental courses and would contemplate spending half or the whole, of a year in practice work.

Anyone interested in this idea is requested to communicate with me by letter, and I will go into the details of the scheme, which is at present not advanced to the point where direct offers can be made. ALBERT BUSHNELL HART.
