Seven Faculty Members Get Higher Ranks

Seven Faculty members have been elevated to higher professorial rank in the last two days, Provost Buck announced yesterday as he listed the University's annual spring crop of promotions.

Four regular full professorships, an endowed chair, and two associate professorships have been awarded, all to take effect on July 1.

Paul D. Bartlett will be the new Erving Professor of Chemistry, succeeding Arthur B. Lamb. The four new full professors will be: George Wald, professor of Biology; Harry T. Levin '33, professor of English; Willa'd Van O. Quine, professor of Philosophy; and Heinrich Schneider, professor of German.

The two other men who will be raised a notch in the Faculty hierarchy are Carroll M. Williams, to be associate professor of Zoology, and Stuart P. Atkins, promoted to associate professor of German.
