Maass Appointed as Littauer Secretary

Arthur A. Maass, associate professor of Government, will replace Robert G. McCloskey, also an associate professor of Government, as Secretary of the Graduate School of Public Administration.

The appointment was made by the Corporation on the recommendation of Littauer's Dean Edward S. Mason and will become effective July 1. According to Maass, the position will entail such duties as settling questions of admissions to the school, serving as secretary of the Committee on the joint degree of Economics and Government, and the granting of fellowships.

Maass himself holds a Guggenheim study fellowship, but he asserted it would not interfere with either his new duties or his teaching.

A Littauer Fellow in 1940-41, Maass left the University to serve in the Navy and later took a government job. He returned in 1946 as a teaching fellow in government and was recently appointed an associate professor in Government.
