Wilbur Jordan Will Return to Post As Radcliffe President

A former instructor in History and tutor at Harvard, Wilbur K. Jordan will return to Cambridge in the latter part of September, not to resume his post on the University faculty, but to take over the guidance of Radcliffe College, as he becomes its fourth president on October 1.

He will succeed Miss Ada L. Comstock, who announced her retirement for September 1 when she married Professor Wallace Notestein of Yale early this summer.

Currently Professor of English History at the University of Chicago and general editor of the Chicago University Press, Jordan is the second male to head the all-girl school. Besides having taught here from 1931 to 1937 and at Radcliffe from 1934 to 1937, the incoming president has had still other connections with Cambridge for he received his Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Harvard and his wife, Frances Ruml Jordan, was dean of Radcliffe from 1934 to 1939.
