Harvard to Receive Lemmonaid Annually

Movie actor Jack Lemmon '47 has informed the University of his intention to provide $1500 annually as a scholarship fund for undergraduates interested in spending part of their time on dramatics. He did not specify, however, how long he will continue to do so.

Lemmon was active in Harvard drama and was president of Hasty Pudding Theatricals. He also appeared in numerous productions in the Brattle St. Theater, a legitimate theater which collapsed shortly after Lemmon left. It occupied the building which now houses the Brattle Theater.

In 1963, when his old club named frequent co-star Shirley MacLaine "Woman of the Year," Lemmon wired her, "Congratulations on being named broad of the year."

Lemmon has appeared in such films as "Mr. Roberts," "Some Like It Hot," and "Irma La Douce."
