President Pusey has been elected chairman of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, it was announced yesterday.

This very high honor, coincidental with Harvard's announced "Program for Harvard College," puts Pusey at the head of one of the chief charitable organizations concerned with the teaching profession.

The Foundation was set up in 1905 by the late Andrew Carnegie to support the "profession of the teacher and the cause of higher education." During the past 51 years, the Foundation has provided some $67 million in pensions to retired teachers and their widows. In addition the Foundation constantly sponsors studies of educational problems.

President Grayson L. Kirk of Columbia University was elected vice-chairman of the 25-member board for the next year.

It is expected that from this influential post, Pusey will be able to make public some of his views on the necessity of improving the standards of liberal education in the United States. He has long been a proponent of raising teachers' salaries and of business' contributing more money to liberal arts colleges.

Newly elected trustees on the high-level board are Chancellor Harvie Brans-comb of Vanderbilt University and President James R. Killian, Jr. of M.I.T. They will fill vacancies created by the retirement from university presidencies of Oliver C. Carmichael of the University of Alabama and Harold W. Dodds of Princeton.
