President Pusey and the University honored Henry L. Shattuck '01 yesterday with the dedication of a building and the establishment of a new professorship in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in his name.

The new international student residence of the Harvard School of Public Health was dedicated by Pusey in a special ceremony as "The Henry Lee Shattuck "International House." At the same time Pusey announced the establishment of a Henry Lee Shattuck Professorship of Urban Government.

"The naming of a professorship and a building in honor of Henry Lee Shattuck is an expression of the University's enormous gratitude to a devoted graduate for many years of quiet generosity and valued service to his alma mater.

"Mr. Shattuck is not one who wears his heart on his sleeve nor is he one who craves recognition for the countless personal and material acts of helpfulness he has performed in behalf of his University--as well as for his city and for our Commonwealth. But those who know him know how warm is his heart, how generous his instincts, and how sound his common sense," Pusey said, speaking at the International House.

Outstanding Career

Shattuck, who received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the University in 1952, graduated from the Law School in 1904, after which he entered law and politics. Treasurer of the University from 1929 to 1938, Shattuck continued as a Fellow of the Harvard Corporation until 1952. From 1944 to 1955 he served as a Senior Fellow of the Society of Fellows, which provides research opportunities for younger scholars.

Located at 199, 203, and 209 Park Drive, Boston, the International House provides much-needed housing for students of the School of Public Health, especially those from foreign countries. Currently, 141 persons, including 71 students and their wives and children from 22 foreign countries, live in the House.

Shattuck contributed major funds to establish the International House. Also, the Rockefeller Foundation has made a grant of $75,000 to be matched by private gifts, to provide a recreational and cultural center in the International House.

Shattuck, who has made several major contributions to the School of Public Health through the years, wrote the report forecasting the organization of the new Health Services, and made generous gifts to the Health Center and the Infirmary Building.
