Election of 40 new members from the Classes of '43, and '44 to the Harvard Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was announced last night by Society officials. Twenty-seven men were chosen from those who have already received Harvard degrees, eight from those who, with 12 course credits, have acquired Senior standing, and five from those with ten to 12 credits.

Simultaneously it was announced that no First marshal would be chosen until the Society's next meeting in the sprin, but Thomas S. Kuhn '44, of Lowell House and New York City, was elected Secretary-Treasurer to succeed Leonard Wolsky '43.

This election was the second held since the Harvard Chapter found it necessary to abandon the peace-time system of selection. For the duration there will no longer be a Junior Eight or Senior Sixteen. All men will be selected upon the basis of course work completed.
