Winning Studies for 1963-964 Selected.

The article reports that the general purpose of the Committee is to stimulate, encourage and reward research activity in areas relevant to American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA). This is accomplished in several ways. The two main ways are by making awards to authors of the publications judged to be the most significant research publications of the previous year, and through sponsorship of programs of research papers at the annual convention. The Chairman would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Committee for their devoted service. Certainly they were among the hardest working members of APGA during the past year. And on a task that will gain them few friends and many enemies. The committee members were selected with an attempt to represent the various areas of interest within APGA. Members for 1963-1964 were Robert Apostal, Harold Bernard, Donald Blocher, Frederick Brown, Richard Byrne, John Crites, Stanley Davis, and Lawrence DeRidder. Each member reviewed five to six assigned journals or monograph series and the recent research in his particular area of interest. He then nominated any article, book, or monograph that he deemed worthy of consideration for an award. Sixty- two separate publications were nominated.
