We regret to report that Marshall D. Shulman died on June 21. For those
who missed his obituary in the /New York Times/ on June 23, he was 91.
Professor Shulman was in the first class of the Russian Institute of
Columbia University, where he also earned his doctorate. He became
associate director of the Russian Research Center at Harvard University
in 1954, a position he held until 1961 when he joined the faculty at the
Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Subsequently
he returned to Columbia as director of the Russian Institute, which
became endowed as the Harriman Institute under his tenure. He continued
his association with the Russian Research (now Davis) Center, serving
for many years on the Center's visiting committee as well as co-chairing
the annual Arden House conferences sponsored by both Harvard and
Columbia. Shulman also served in the U.S. government as the principal
adviser on Soviet affairs to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance from 1977 to
1980.
