New Council Members

At the recent meeting of the Alumni Council held in New York three new Amembers-atlarge were elected, on authority given by the Alumni Association at its meeting last June. In making the elections the Council was influenced by the desire to select members who would not only be able to give valuable service to the Council but also those who, owing to their place of residence, would not be so likely to obtain election under the normal process of balloting for geographical representatives. The following men were elected: Arba J. Irvin '02 of Tulsa, Oklahoma; John W. Pearson '11 of Concord, New Hampshire, and Wright Hugus '13 of Wheeling, West Virginia.
