Group Named To Decide on War Memorial

Senator Leverett Saltonstall '14, President of the Board of Overseers, will head a graduate committee dominated by veterans and set up by the Alumni Association and the Associated Harvard Clubs to choose an appropriate memorial to the University dead of World War II.

Three of the principal suggestion that will appear on the group's agenda are the Student Council recommendation for a Student Activities Center, a new Medical Center as proposed by Dr. Arlie V.
