Clyde K. M. Kluckhohn, professor of Anthropology, was one of the principal speakers yesterday at the dedication of the new Psychiatric Clinic of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Kluckhohn was one of five speakers who had as their general topic. "The Phenomenon of Adaption." The other four are professors at Yale, New York University, Cornell, and the University of Chicago.
