Over 50 leading figures in the publishing world will address the Publishing Procedures Course, given by Radcliffe over the summer, Mrs. Diggory Venn, director, said yesterday.

The program is designed to give recent college graduates "a practical course to bridge the gap between a liberal arts education and actual working experience," offering instruction in all phases of publishing, Mrs. Venn noted. In its seven years of existence, it has prepared over 500 students for jobs with book publishers, magazines, newspapers and miscellanous house organs.

Among the men scheduled to speak to the course members this summer, are Edward Weeks, editor of the Atlantic Monthly; George P. Brockway, president of W. W. Norton Company, Inc.; August Fruge, director of the University of California Press; Margaret Smith, fiction editor of Mademoiselle; Maurice Dolbier, Book Reviewer and columnist on the New York Herald-Tribune; Donald Kingsley, president of the Hous Magazine Institute.

Also, Phillip Ewald, promotion director of the New Yorker; Hardick Mosely, sales manager of Houghton Mifflin Co.; Jason Epstein, editor-in-chief of Anchor Books; and George Hunt, assistant managing editor of Life Magazine.
