The focus is OIl plans for training beyond the unde.rgraduate degree in either graduate or professional schools. There are two main themes in the body of this report: first , we are concerned with estimati.ng how many of June graduating seniors can be. e:.pected to enter on post-graduate training; and secondly, we attempt to seek out the special characteristics of graduates, their environments, and their resources which lead some to go on to advanced training. There can be little doubt that this is an historical period in which concern for higher education and post-graduate training appears to be at an all time high. Private foundations , federal agencies , leaders in all sectors of American life , and the mass media pay a considerable amount of attention to the problem of channelling more of our resources of talent into those career lines which will lead to a more. abundant labor supply of persons qualified to fill the scientific , technical , professional and educational occupations which appear so critical to the conduct of our complex industrial society. The study whose preliminary findings are given in this report grew out of this concern. Three federal agencies , the Office of Education , the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation commis- sioned this study in the hope that research along these lines can help to formulate social policies which would ease the general labor supply shortage which we all see ahead and the particularly severe labor shortages in some fields which are presently with us. A final report on the survey is scheduled for completion early in 1962. However , the importance of the research problem and the timeliness -1- -2- of the data collected have led us to issue this preliminary report containing our first tabulations less than two months after data collection was completed. The data collected in our survey come from questionnaires received from c lose to 34, 000 seniors who graduated in the class of June 1961. These constitute an unbiased sample of the June 1961 graduates. Because of the short time elapsing between data dollection and the presentation of this report , the findings and interpretations are indeed pre- liminary and subject to correction and modification as the analysis progresses. Although preliminary, we have tabulated enough of our data to sketch in general terms answers to the following questions: How many June 1961 seniors plan to attend graduate or professional. school? What are the differences among students with different types of plans for post-graduate study? How important are financial problems as a barrier to further study? What are the characteristics of students planning to begin post- graduate study in Fall 1961 in different fields of study? What role does college experience play in career decisions? What differences are there in the career plans of students in different undergraduate institutions? What are the social and psychological differences between students planning to enter various career fields? The Tables: The data around which this report is written are contained in the tables in Section VII. The Center has been producing tables over the past two months and distributing them to the agencies who sponsored the study. The tables accompanying this report are from this series and are presented in the order of their completion rather than in the order in which they are discussed in the text. Thus table number references will not be in consecutive -3- order and some tables will not be discussed in the text at all. The reader is urged to inspect the tables as well as read the text. Some of the tables are based on the total sample and others are based upon a representative sub-sample. the latter being employed to reduce when possible the data handling burden of the research staff.

    COMMANDANT'S ANNUAL REPORT 1961 ... 1962 The Judge Advocate General's School United States Army Charlottesville, Virginia FOREWORD It is with great pleasure and much satisfaction that I present the Commandant's Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1962. Al­ though this represents the first report of this type published by The Judge Advocate General's School, it is intended that it become an integral feature in chronicling the continuing development of the Army's military law center. The report has a three-fold purpose: --- 1. To summarize the operations of the School during the past fiscal year. ---------2. To preserve in printed form a record of the School, its staff and faculty, students, and enlisted personnel. ~ To describe the various courses of instruction offered at - The Judge Advocate General's School. ThiE report reflects continued progress on the part of The Judge Advocate General's School. The value of any educational institution, however, is measured by how well it prepares its student body for the roles which await them upon graduation. Accordingly, our goal, as in the past, is to increase and make more effective our services to the Army by thorough preparation of officers for service in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. JOHN F.

In 1886, its name was changed to the "Bulletin international des Societes de la Croix-Rouge" and in 1919 it became a monthly journal under the title "Revue inter­ nationale de la Croix-Rouge". Altogether, six sets of indexes to tfle "Revue" were printed: in 1900, 1910, 191-9, 1939, 1962 and J(}75. Soon after the Second World War, it was considered desirable to inform also the English-speaking world of the tasks which the ICRe is called upon to discharge, and of the legal and ethical problems which have to be dealt with by the Red Cross movement. It was decided to begin on a small scale by issuing a sixteen to twenty page monthly supplement in English, the first of which appeared in January 1948. It was only in /961 that the ICRC published a complete English version of its periodical and the first issue came out in April of that year under the name "International Review of the Red Cross".
