218 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1941)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0218 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD THE University of Michigan, in its Summer Sessions, has given special en- couragement to advanced work in particular fields through the Linguistic Institute, the Institute of Far Eastern Studies, and the Graduate Conference on Renaissance Studies. The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, also, has had a special Degree Program in American Culture representing an integrated course of study without relation to departmental organization. The two efforts were combined in the summer of 1940 in presenting to students in the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies an advanced course of study in American Culture and Insti- tutions involving integration of several disciplines. The success of the program justified its continuance in the Summer Session of 1941. The lectures presented in this volume represent the formal part of the Graduate Study Course in Public Policy in a World at War. The purpose of the program was to present to the 'Summer Session students a well co-ordinated course of in- struction and reading in the fundamental elements of domestic and foreign policy, the forces which have shaped the course of international affairs in recent decades, and the relationship of the United States to present war and prospective peace. No attempt was made to deal exhaustively with so complex a theme, nor to present a survey of elementary factual information, in a series of twenty lectures. The aim was rather to deal with problems of interpretation, definition, and appraisal. Each of the Departments-Economics, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology-conducted its own seminar work for its students who were enrolled in the course. The first lecture was presented on July 1 and the last on August 12, intervening lectures being presented in the order in which they appear in this volume. The program was formulated and supervised by a committee composed of Dwight L. Dumond, professor of history (chairman); Robert B. Hall, professor of geogra- phy; Leonard L. Watkins, professor of economics; and Lawrence Preuss, professor of political science. The committee is grateful to the editor of THE ANNALS for this opportunity to present these lectures to the members of The American Academy of Political and Social Science and to the reading public-a far wider audience than we could reach on the campus at Ann Arbor.
