The appointment of James Lawrence '01 to membership in the Harvard Fun Council for three years, was made, known yesterday. Lawrence was chosen to fill the vacancy left last year by the death last January, of J. W. Hallowell, also a member of the class of 1901, the choice being made by the joint action of the presidents of the Harvard Alumni Association, and the Associated Harvard clubs.

Was First Marshal

The new Council member is of the firm of McFadden, Sands and Company, Boston cotton merchants, and at the time of his graduation was First Marshal of his class. During the last two years of his undergraduate career Lawrence played on the football team as well as rowing on the University eight. The wide interest in Harvard affairs which he has held since his graduation is shown in the fact that he is a director of the Harvard Alumni Association, and last year at the time of his twenty-fifth reunion, he was chief marshal at commencement.
