FOUR GOVERNMENT INTERN STUDENTS WILL STUDY HERE

Now Working in Government Positions Gaining Administrative Training, Then Will Try for Ph.D.'s

Now approaching the end of its official training program for students, the National Institute of Public Affairs in Washington says this week that it will probably send four of its young "interns" to Harvard next year.

Dayton Hull '35, of Rochester, and Gove G. Johnson, Jr. '34, of Aurors Hills, virginia, are definitely coming back here to complete Ph.D. requirements. Oscar M. Lurie '35, of Amsterdam, New York, probably will return. Theodore W. Taylor, of College Station, Texas, and a graduate with the Class of 1935 from the University of Arizons, has been nominated for a $1000 graduate fellowship.

Graduates of Government School

These men belong to a group of 30, graduating this spring from a nine month training program in government administration. College alumni to begin with, they will be working with corporation or returning to the universities for further graduate study against the background of their year in the Capital.

Like all the members of the group of Phi Beta Kappa calibre, the three Harvard graduates also achieved undergraduate distinction, variously as members of the Liberal Club, now defunct, the Debating Council, and the Dramatic Club.

Relation to Littauer School Unknown

What their relation will be to the Littauer School in their return here is not known as yet. Suffice that the work they have done will count toward their post-graduate degree.

Of its 30 interns, brought to Washington on tuition-fellowships to study the government from the inside, the Institute remarks that "They came from every corner of the country . . . . They were picked for academic records . . . . for their campus leadership.

"During their academic year of internship, the students were assigned to budget directors, executive officers and administrative assistants, research divisions, personnel directors, and other important administrators . . . . They actually worked and studied in more than 30 government agencies as a result of changes in training assignments during the course of the year . . . . Through the universities in Washington arrangements were made for the interns to do academic work supplementing their practical experience."
