Two other faculty sponsors of the C.L.A., Zechariah Chafee, Jr., University Professor, and Archibald MacLeish, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, will attend.

Others invited are: Jerome S. Bruner, associate professor of Social Psychology, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, associate professor of History, Louis M. Lyons, Curator of Nieman Fellows, Robert G. McCloskey, assistant professor of Government, and Roy F. Gootenberg '49, teaching fellow in Government.
