This bibliography attempts to list all known theses on sub-Saharan Africa accepted by the University of California at Berkeley, and catalogued by the University Library through January, 1969. The earliest item is dated 1914. The list was compiled from a card file of theses arranged by academic department which is maintained by the Library's General Reference Service. The availability of theses on interlibrary loan is indicated by symbols following the number of leaves (L) in the thesis. An asterisk indicates that the Library has catalogued more than one copy of a title, and that the second copy may be borrowed on interlibrary loan. The symbol # indicates that the Library's Graduate Social Science branch has an uncatalogued copy of the thesis which may be borrowed. Absence of these symbols indicates that the title is not available on interlibrary loan. Photocopies of all M.A. and those Ph.D. these completed before September, 1962 may be purchased from the Library's Photographic Service; those Ph.D. theses from September, 1962 on, from University Microfilms, Inc. The bibliography is in two parts. The first part contains those items which cover more than one country, and is divided into General, Central Africa, East Africa, and West Africa; the second part, arranged by country (present name), lists those titles dealing with only one political unit.

This paper is based upon discussion which took place during a Symposium on Education for Operations Research which was held in Ithaca in October, 1954. The participants were Dr. Russell L. Ackoff, Case Institute of Technology; Prof. J. G. Brainerd, University of Pennsylvania; Dr. Glen D. Camp, Melpar, Inc.; Dr. W. P Cunningham, U.S. Naval Post Graduate School, Dr. Harold O. Davidson, The Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Merrill M. Flood, Columbia University, Dr. Ellis A. Johnson, The Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Joseph F. McCloskey, The Johns Hopkins University, Dr. R. E. McGarrah, Cornell University; Dr. Loring G. Mitten, The Ohio State University, Prof. J. E. Morton, Cornell University, Mr. Russell R. O'Neill, University of California, Dr. Edward S. Quade, The Rand Corporation, Dean Robert H. Roy, The Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Melvin Salveson, General Electric Company, Dr. Andrew Schultz, Jr., Cornell University; and Prof. T. M. Whitin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The transcript of many portions of the discussion is too sketchy to permit direct quotation or publication, and this paper represents a sincere effort to present the opinion of the group where agreement was reached, or the points of disagreement, where the latter seems appropriate. It should be emphasized that the thoughts expressed are based upon the tape and stenographic transcripts available, and cannot be taken to report the full opinion of any individual participant. Operations Research, ISSN 0030-364X, was published as Journal of the Operations Research Society of America from 1952 to 1955 under ISSN 0096-3984.

CANDIDACIES of Spiro Agnew and Edmund Muskie have reminded us forcefully in this election year that the United States is still a unation of immigrants." Yet one cannot help but wonder whether Spiro Anagnostopoulos or Edmund Muszynski would have received so high a recognition. Aside from other considerations, are the voting machines capable of handling 15-letter names? Although their names are anglicized, the fact that they are both sons of immigrants is not completely unrelated to the choice of Mr. Agnew and Mr. Muskie as vice-presidential candidates. In politics, as in many other areas of American life, ethnicity based on a sense of a common racial, religious, or national origin remains a powerful force. Yet this dimension of social reality has not received the attention from historians and social scientists that it deserves. The ethnic complexity resulting from the mass immigrations of the past century certainly constitutes one of the basic influences in the development of modern America. But our knowledge of the processes whereby ethnic groups are formed, of the internal structure of such groups, of their impact upon such institutions as the church, politics, and labor unions, of their interactions in patterns of conflict and accommodation our knowledge of these important matters is at best primitive. That this should be so is a cause for puzzlement. Andrew Greeley, a perceptive student of ethnicity, recently observed that the historians of the 23d century would probably regard as one of the most extraordinary phenomena of our era "the formation of a new nation on the North American continent made up of wildly different nationality groups." "I further suspect," he went on to say, uthat historians of the future will be astonished that American sociologists, the product of this gathering in of the nations, could stand in the midst of such an astonishing social phenomenon and take it so much for granted that they would not bother to study it."1 American historians by and large have also been strangely insensitive to the impact of the recurring tides of immigration upon the Nation. There have, of course, been able historians of immigration, but these

Graduate studies at America's largest school of architecture, here described and discussed by Mr Williams, who heads graduate architectural design at Urbana, are based upon a faith in the liberal view, finding expression in a free but disciplined approach and acknowledging competition as a fact of life. Previous articles in the series appeared in September 1963 (by Joseph Esherick, Sami Hassid and Charles Moore of the University of California) and in September 1964 (by G. Holmes Perkins of Pennsyvania).
