President Charles Seymour of Yale said yesterday that he will retire from his position July 1, 1950. He explained that he was making the announcement over a year in advance so that the University would have plenty of time to choose a successor.
Seymour was inaugurated as Yale's fifteenth president in 1937. Born in New Haven 64 years ago, the son of a Yale professor, he received his bachelor's degree from Cambridge University in England and another from Yale.
He did post-graduate work at the Sorbonne in Paris and received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1911. He is the author of nine books and many articles.
