Lieutenant-Commander Samuel Eliot Morison, U. S. N. has arrived in England to gather material for a historical record of naval operations in this war. Commander Morison is on leave from his post as Professor of History at Harvard.
The job of naval historian is particularly fitting for Commander Morison, in view of his experience both as a historian and as a navigator, His latest book, "Admiral of the Ocean Sea", a best-selling biography of Christopher Columbus, was based on an expedition undertaken by Morison over Columbus's route, in a replica of the "Santa Maria". His "Maritime History of New England" is also well-known both to scholars and laymen.
Commander Morison will be doing for World War II what was done for World War I by Sir Julian Corbett, whose work is a classic on the subject of sea warfare.
