Merle Fainsod, professor of Government, has received the annual Faculty Prize of the Harvard University Press. The award, presented by President Pusey at a Faculty Club luncheon yesterday, was for Fainsod's recent book Smolensk under Sovlet Rule.
Based on the "Smolensk Archive" which fell into German hands during World War II, the book gives a vivid picture of the lives of the people in government, industry, farming, education, and other occupations in one rural province of Russia from 1917 to 1939.
A member of the Harvard Research Center's executive committee, Fainsod is engaged in a series of studies of Soviet and American Government. His earlier works include How Russia is Ruled and Government and the American Economy.
Honorable mention for the Faculty prize was awarded to On Translation, a collection of 17 papers discussing the aspects and problems of translations. Edited by Reuben A. Brower, professor of English, the book is one of the Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature.
