Richmond K. Kane '22 will lead the procession of his fellow-alumni at commencement exercises in June, the Alumni Association announced yesterday. Kane's appointment as Chief Marshal maintains the tradition of honoring a member of the twenty-fifth anniversary class with the post.
A member of the New York law firm of Cadwallader, Wickersham and Taft, Kane was First Marshal of his class as well as captain of the 1921 Varsity football squad. After his graduation, the Navy and Marine veteran of World War I attended Oxford for a year but returned to Cambridge and the Law School in 1923.
During World War II, Kane served as Special Assistant to the Attorney General in Washington, was in charge of intelligence operations for the Office of War Information and was Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy. Participating in the San Francisco conference, Kane received the Distinguished Civilian Service Award.
