This article presents brief descriptions of several events and developments in colleges and universities and governmental agencies and a note on the life history of American sociologist, Luther Lee Bernard who died on January 23, 1951. It reports that the Department of Sociology and Anthropology of the Boston University has initiated a program in criminology and correctional treatment of offenders. The program offers a general plan of study in criminology designed to be of value to those working in the fields of crime prevention, probation, probational parole, and correctional administration. Researcher Lloyd Warner of the Sociology Department of the University of Chicago has received a grant of $10,000 from the Hill Family Foundation of Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Foundation awarded him for a study of social mobility in American business. The United States Department of Agriculture has announced on June 1, 1951, that around six hundred agricultural specialists from all parts of the United States are needed to represent this country abroad in technical cooperation programs, including the Point Four program, under present plans of expansion. The Department's Office of Personnel is developing a national roster of professional agriculturists to be used by the Department, and other Federal and public international organizations, in recruiting personnel for foreign assignments.
