Benjamin F. Wright, chairman of the Government Department, was confirmed at a meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Tuesday as chairman of the University's 12-man Committee on General Education.
A standing committee of the Faculty appointed by President Conant, the group includes the following members; C. Crane Brinton '19, professor of History; Raphael Demos, Alford Professor of Natural Religion, moral Philosophy, and Civil Polity; John M. Finley, Jr '25, Eliot Professor of Greek Literature, and Wilbur K. Jordan, president of Radcliffe.
Also, Edwin C. Kemble, professor of Physics; Clyde K. M. Kluckbohn, associate professor of Anthropology; Harry T Levin '23, associate professor of English; Edward S. Mason, professor of Economics; Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology; Jean Joseph Seance, associate professor of Romance Languages and Literatures; and George Wald, associate professor of Biology.
Only five of the men on the new committee--Chairman Wright, president Jordan, Wald, Professors Demos and Finley--were members of the University Committee on General Education in a Free Society which drew up the much discussed "Objectives" Report.
The standing committee has the job of putting into action the general principles accepted by the Faculty in its votes of October 30 and December 4. It will be up to the newly appointed group to decide problems concerned with contents of the proposed Gen real Education courses and to clear up holes left in the tutorial question by the Faculty's unspecific vote.
