Salzburg Will Take in Only Harvard Men

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Only Harvard students will be chosen for work with the Salzburg Seminar in the new year, C. Leonard Gordon '51, Seminar publicity director, revealed last night.

The new policy is the result of a complete revision in the methods of selecting students, and comes as a part of the general reorganization the Seminar is undergoing this year.

In announcing the change Gordon stated that the number of Harvard students taken will be increased from four to eight. Under the previous setup, the four undergraduates were complemented by three faculty assistants, chosen from graduate schools all over the country.

By Nomination Only

All of the students will be chosen from a list of nominees recommended to the Seminar by heads of the various academic departments and the tutors in those departments. Previously, the new men had been chosen after direct application.

The four graduate students will assume positions as teaching fellows under the new program.

According to Gordon, the selection group now has more than 50 nominations in its possession and expects about 25 more before the final selections are issued early in January.

The recently announced general reorganization has been designed to increase the role of the American student in the Seminar through closer contact with the European student. This will be accomplished by lessening his administrative capacity.
