CRANE BRINTON '19 TO BE NEW SENIOR FELLOW

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AUTHOR OF MANY BOOKS IN HISTORY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

C. Crane Brinton '19, associate professor of History and chairman of the Department, has been appointed a Senior Fellow of the Society of Fellows, the University announced yesterday.

Brinton's appointment was made under an amendment of the plan for the Society increasing to six the number of Senior Fellows selected by the Corporation. Formerly only five men besides the President of the University and the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences were appointed.

European Expert

An expert on European history, Brinton is the author of several books, including "The Anatomy of Revolution," published last year. After graduating summa cum laude he took his Ph.D. at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship and then returned to take a post in the History department in 1924.

The Senior Fellows are the managing body of the Society, which is designed to meet the problem of associating future creative scholars in a distinct body that will have an attraction for ambitious young men of talent.

Other Senior Fellows

In addition to Brinton the Senior Fellows are President Conant; Dean Ferguson; President Lowell; Alfred N. Whitehead, professor of Philosophy , emeritus; John L. Lowes, Francis Lee Higginson Professor of English Literature, emeritus; Lawrence J. Henderson, Abbott and James Lawrence Professor of Chemistry; Samuel E. Moriston, professor of History: and Arthur D. Nock. Fronthingham Professor of the History of Religion.
