For the second time in ten days one Harvard graduate has been named by President Hoover to succeed another in an important government post. The Japanese government has signified that it finds J. C. Grew '02 an acceptable successor to W. Cameron Forbes '92, present ambassador in Tokyo, who will remain at his post for several weeks. In the Phillippine Islands, Theodore Roosevelt '08 has succeeded Dwight F. Davis '00 as Governor General.
Grew, now ambassador to Turkey, entered the service after graduation, as a "career man" and has served in constantly more important posts at Cairo, Mexico City, Petrograd, Berlin, Vienna, at the peace negotiations, and in Switzerland, becoming ambassador to Turkey in 1927.
