Buck on Commission Studying Humanities

Paul H. Buck, Director of the University Library and Librarian of Harvard College, will serve on a commission which has been formed to study the humanities. Established by the American Council of Learned Societies, the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States and the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, the group will study problems of creativity, scholarship and teaching. Frederick Burkhardt, president of the American Council of Learned Societies, stated the aims of the commission: "Rather than simply bewailing the 'imbalance' between the sciences and the humanities, we must specify as precisely as possible the present and future needs of the humanities."

Barnaby C. Keeney, Present of Brown University, leads the newly-formed group.
