EXCHANGE PROFESSOR FOR FRANCE CHOSEN

Mr. A. K. Porter, professor of Fine Arts, has been chosen as exchange professor to represent the University in France during the year 1923-24.

Professor Porter, who is generally regarded as one of the leading American authorities on medieval architecture, graduated from Yale in 1904, and from 1915 to 1920 served on the Yale teaching staff, first as lecturer on the history of art and later as assistant professor. In 1920 he was appointed professor of the history of art and later as assistant professor. In 1920 he was appointed professor of the history of art at Harvard. At present he is on leave of absence in Europe. His selection as exchange professor recalls the fact that he was the one American scholar in art and architecture who was singled out by the French government during the war to assist in the plans for the reconstruction or preservation of the monuments of France which were damaged in the war. The present Harvard representative in France is Professor Irving Babbitt.

Fellowship to Professor Spaulding

Mr. H. G. Spaulding, professor at the George Washington University Law School in Washington, has been appointed for next year to the Ezra Ripley Thayer Teaching Fellowship at the Harvard Law School, where he will be engaged in graduate study. Professor Spaulding graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1900 and took his law degree at Harvard three years later. The fellowship which he will hold was established in memory of the late Dean Thayer.
