These are the participants from 1968 for the yearly International Seminar led by Henry Kissinger at Harvard University.. The fully paid six week stay had as one of its purposes to "establish better understanding among a select group of people who will be in top leadership roles in their countries in the years ahead". Approximately half are from the field of the humanities and half in politics and economics.
