Election of David M. Little '18, Master of Adams House, as Chief Marshal at this year's Commencement and the nominations of 12 prominent alumni for five vacancies on the Board of Overseers were announced this weekend by the Alumni Association.

In addition to being Adams House Master, Little is Secretary to the University, a member of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the board of Freshman Advisers. The position of Chief Marshal is given each year to a member of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Class. He traditionally leads the procession of alumni through the Yard on Commencement Day, but this year his duties are somewhat nebulous, since there may not be any anniversary ceremonies.

Overseers Serve Six Years

The five Overseers elected by the Alumni will serve terms of six years and the results will be announced on Commencement Day. Candidates for the vacancies include: Joseph C. Grew '02, Edward B. Krumbhaar '04, Roger P. Lapham '05, Frederick M. Eliot '11, Ralph Lowell '12, Frederick C. Crawford '13, Leverett Saltonstall '14, G. Howland Shaw '15, Frauklin E. Parker, Jr, 86 R. Keith Kane '22, Oliver '86 and Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr. '27.

The Association also named nine candidates for Directors-at-Large of the Association to fill four vacancies, two candidates to fill a vacancy among graduate school directors, and eight men for their openings on the Harvard Fund Connate
