Helen Mand Cam will become the first woman ever to hold a full professorship on the Harvard Faculty next fall, when she moves here from Cambridge University, England, to take the newly-founded Samuel Zemurray, Jr. and Doris Zemurray Stone Radcliffe Professorship.
The chair, open only tow women, may be held by a scholar from any field of learning. It was endowed by a $250,000 bequest from Samuel Zemurray, Jr., a graduate of the Harvard Business School, who was killed in action during World War II, and his daughter.
An authority on English constitutional development, the new professor will give courses in medieval English history. She is the author of numerous books and articles in her field, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
The appointment was made, under the terms of the bequest, by the Harvard Faculty, with the concurrence of the Radcliffe Council.
