Lunch Is Key to Russian Center

The "best 45 cent lunch in the Greater Boston area" has played an important part in the success of Harvard's Russian Research Center, Clyde K.M. Kluckhohn, director of the group, revealed yesterday. Speaking before the Social Relations Society in Emerson 327 Kluckhohn described the progress of the Research Center to date.

This lunch, prepared by secretaries of the organization, brings together each noon experts on different places of Russian culture. It is in this informal atmosphere where the necessary, spontaneous interchange of ideas takes place.

The three major areas which are under study include an overall study of Russian economy, communism, and social relations projects. Kluckhohn stressed, however, that before drawing any conclusions from the material gathered the Center would first "dirty its hands in data."
