The appointment of David Washburn Bailey '21 as director of Harvard University publications was officially announced yesterday. A variety of duties are included under this position, chief of which are the publication of the University Catalogue, the University Gazette, the Alumni Directory, and the Quinquennial Catalogue, as well as the direction of the University publications office which issues the various catalogues and pamphlets published by the University. According to the announcement made yesterday Bailey's appointment was made by the Overseers and is a University rather than a College matter.
