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.
