FORMER ASST. DEAN WHITNEY IS AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dr. Alfred Chester Hanford G. '23 has been chosen as acting chairman of the University Board of Tutors in history, government, and economics, to take the place next year of Professor H. H. Burbank G.

Dr. Hanford graduated from the University of Illinois in 1912, spent three years more in graduate study and teaching, came to Harvard in 1915 as assistant in government, and is now serving as instructor in government and a member of the board of tutors.
