Holcombe and Melone Elected To the Eliot House Committee

Elections from the Sophomore Class to the Eliot House Committee were made last night at a meeting of the members of the House which was held after a reception dinner which was given for the members of 1937.

Robert Crosset Holcombe '37, of Cambridge, and Neil Gardner Melone '37, of Minneapolis, Minn., were chosen as members of the House committee. Others nominated for the position were John Bradford Bowditch '37, of Concord, William Waite Waters '37, of Minneapolis, Minn., and Joseph Allen Bloombergh '37, of Chestnut Hill.

After the election, Roger B. Merriman '96, Gurney Professor of History and master of Eliot House, gave a talk in which he told something of the history of President Eliot for whom the House was named and in whose honor a statue was unveiled last spring.
