...only was the Seminar over-subscribed by applications, but it proved to be the most complete school of American studies in Europe, with courses on history, government, economies, sociology, literature, and art. An improved library--the best on American subjects in Central Europe--and another excellent faculty helped to make the record of the second year just as impressive. Harvard was again represented by Professor Leontief, and Talcott Parsons, professor of sociology, made his first trip to the Seminar.

Those members of the team who had enjoyed service in the U.S.N. saw fit to miss this one and made a beeline over to the Elbow Beach Surf Club to make hay while the sun shone.
