Bruce Ormsby Bliven, Jr. '37, of New York City, has been unanimously elected to succeed Douglas P. Dryer '36 as president of the Liberal Club, it was announced last night, following a meeting of the organization. Dryer submitted his resignation yesterday, explaining that the pressure of studies this year would prevent him from fulfilling adequately the responsibilities of the office.

In an effort to provide members of the Club with material for more stimulating discussions than were afforded by last year's series of lectures by prominent men, Bliven plans this year to organize a series of debates between prominent speakers on subjects of world importance.
