Harvard Students To Vote on Divestment From Israel in Inaugural HUA Election Survey
Chief Marshal at the 1952 Commencement will be chosen from six members of the Class of 1927 whose names were released last night by the Alumni Association. These were the highest six names in the preference of the Class of 1927 nominating committee.
Wilbur J. Bender, Dean of the College, and Judge Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr., a member of the Board of Overseers, are the only two who hold Harvard offices currently, although Bayard L. Kilgour has been Vice-President of the Alumni Association, and both he and William A. M. Burden have been on the Overseers' Committee to Visit the University Library.
New System
Charles E. Bohlen and Leo F. Daley are the other two nominees. These six were picked in a new system by which the five-member nominating committee votes on a combination of names submitted by the committee itself and ballots sent to all the members of the class.
Bohlen, from Washington, is counselor of the State Department, and Burden, also from Washington, is Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force. Daley is from Andover, and is a member of the investment firm of F.S. Moseley and Company, and Kilgour is president of the Cincinnati and Surburban Telephone Company. Wyzanski is from Boston and is U.S. District Judge in Massachusetts.
