VICE-DEAN MAGRUDER TO BE CIRCUIT JUDGE

Calvert Magruder, professor of law at the Harvard Law School and vice-dean since 1930, was appointed yesterday by President Roosevelt as judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston.

Magruder is a strong New Dealer, in 1934 and 1935 acting as counsel for the National Labor Relations Board, at present legal adviser for the Wage-Hour Division, and a staunch supreme of the President's Supreme Court program.

A native of Annspolis, Maryland, Magruder graduated cum laude from the Harvard Law School in 1916. From 1916 to 1917 he served as secretary to Mr. Justice Brandeis. He became professor at the Law School in 1925, at the age of 32, and vice-dean in 1930.

Magruder's appointment to the Circuit Court marks the fourth retirement in two years of prominent Harvard Law professors. Joseph Henry Beale '32, and Ramuel Williston '32 have recently retired; Fellx Frankfurter has been made justice of the United States Supreme Court.
