YALE SUMMER SCHOOL OF ALCOHOL STUDIES was attended by thirty-two AAs from all parts of the country during the June-July annual seminar series. Anita R., who attended the two-day sessions featuring AA as the representative from GSH, reports that in general co-operation between AA and the various professional services working in the field of alcoholism was stressed. One evening the entire school attended a "typical" AA meeting. There were also three regular sessions featuring AA: "A Sociologist Looks at AA," "The Community Agency and AA" and "Factors in Affiliation with AA." The latter talk was given by Professor Harrison M. Trice of Cornell University, a non-alcoholic trustee of the General Service Board of AA.
