Hughes Will Quit Post This Spring

H. Stuart Hughes, assistant professor of History, has resigned his post in the University, it was learned yesterday.

He will leave this spring, due to the failure of the History Department to recommend him for promotion to associate professorship. His present appointment does not run out for another year, but Hughes decided to leave the department and look for a new job at the end of this term.

He has been with the University for four years.

The post of assistant professor is only a temporary one in the College. Permanent posts begin at the associate professor level.

Before coming here, Hughes was with the Office of Strategic Services during the war. Since he has been teaching at Harvard, he has published "An Essay for Our Times," and "Oswald Spengler--A Critical Estimate."
