Kennerly '44, Belmont; Cornelius Lansing '45, Chappaqua, New York, Army Medical Reserve; David R. Matlack '44, Germantown, Pa., NROTC; Irving Rudmand '45, Dorchester, Army Medical Reserve; and Daniel L. Salem '44, Cambridge, Fighting French.

The Senior five, all on leave since last February, are Theodore S. Baer '44, Norwood, Army; James H. Donald '44, Dallas, Texas, Harvard Medical School; Harold C. Fleming '44, Atlanta Army; Thomas H. Green, Jr. '44, Bloomington, III, Harvard Medical School; and Edmund L. Saunders '44, Mattapan, Boston University Medical School.

Concurrently Thomas S. Kuhn 44, First Marshal, announced that another election will be held early next term.

One additional meeting in the summer term will be called to elect Junior members and exceptional students on leave of absence."
