...first actions of the Committee was the nomination of the Bliss Fellows. Four young scholars in the social sciences were promised future faculty appointments and offered extensive travel and research grants if they would convert themselves into Latin American experts. Meanwhile, the Committee, through its executive secretary William Barnes, began the inevitable search for funds from sources outside the University. The initial results were quite good.
