Course in Latin American Relations Urged By Many

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Bending a large-group of students of foreign affairs, Jack Bronston '42 yesterday launched a strong but short lived drive for a half-year course in Latin American relations.

"Harvard," he declared, has only two specialized courses in the history or government of Central and South America, thus placing her far behind other colleges in this increasingly vital field."

Paralled Government

The new course, for which Bronston presented a suggested outline, would be called "New Factors in International Relations--Latin America," and would parallel Government 30, which deals with Asia. It would analyze current events in relation to the history and government of Latin America.

"Many students want the course," Bronston declared. "There's no doubt about that. But I'm afraid we cannot have it this year anyway, as the Government Department has neither the man to take it, nor the necessary funds."

This is not the first time such a course has been advocated. Last spring the much-publicized Council of Government Concentrators, led by Langdon P. Marvin '41, made a similar request, and received a more hopeful but also negative reply.
