Because it has never shied from an experiment, the Littauer School of Public Administration has become one of the University's more successful graduate schools. In its fifteen years, it has tailored its program to fit the needs of bigger government, tried to produce administrators who would shake some lead out of the feet of bureaucracy. But in the shuffle of change and growth, one of the School's very first experiments, the Littauer Fellowships, has lost much of its size, importance, and original purpose...
...When the Littauer School was still in blueprints, the Littauer Fellows were to be the lifesblood of the School.

There are, however, a number of important objections to such a plan. Littauer is a general theory school, while regional planning is by necessity specific and practical. In the Design School it supplements the architectural programs, providing a practical outlet for theory. In Littauer, which shuns application, the department would certainly not flourish and might possibly wither completely. Now, regional planning is important to Design's overall program, while it would probably be a dead weight in public administration...
