...business school that the next major changes initiated by the Survey will probably take place. In the past five years, however, more emphasis has been placed on the College of Arts and Sciences. This fall, for the first time, freshmen in the College outnumber Wharton matriculatants, and Admissions Director Robert H.

His predecessors, Kluckhohn and Langer, specialized in cultural anthropology and European history, respectively, with special though only peripheral interest in the Russian field. Fainsod, on the other hand is perhaps the nation's foremost authority on Russian government, and his How Russia is Ruled (No. 11 in the Russian Center services) ranks as the definitive volume in its area...
