THE APPOINTMENT of Dr. Herman Feldman, professor of Industrial Relations at Tuck School, as Dean of the School of Business and Civic Administration at the College of the City of New York was announced in January by Dr. Nelson P.

Professor Feldman was economic adviser to the United States Personnel Classification Board in 1928 and 1929, and was research consultant to the Wickersham Commission in 1931. In 1933 to 1935, he was chairman of the New Hampshire Commission on Unemployment Reserves and an arbitrator of labor disputes under the National Recovery Act.
