J. W. D. Seymour '17, Secretary to the University on Graduate Affairs, last night made public the names of the candidates for the six vacancies which will occur this spring in the Harvard Board of Overseers, the three positions as Directors of Harvard Alumni Association, and the three posts left vacant on the Harvard Fund Council.

Hallowell '01, who was elected to the Board last June. The candidates for Overseers, whose names will appear on the postal ballots to be mailed in April to all holders of Harvard degrees eligible to vote, are as follows:
