Mr. Robert Bacon has resigned the embassy at Paris to become a fellow of Harvard University. At Harvard the president and five fellows, with the treasurer, make up the corporation, the chief governing body of the University. The fellows must live within easy reach of Cambrdige Universities know they can count on the loyalty and service of their strongest sons. It is rare for that loyalty to be shown in such a dramatic way as in this instance.
