Pell '05, of the New York delegation.
Mr. Pell and Commodore Richard P. Hobson, author and lecturer, had high praise for the activities of the Harvard Democratic Club, and have arranged for members of the club who will be in the city during the Convention to have access to many of the activities in connection with it, both political and social.
