Elizabeth S. Fainsod, of Barnard Hall and Cambridge, was elected president of the Radcliffe Class of 1963 in a special three-way run-off election last week.
The special contest was held after three of the original ten candidates--Barbara W. Breasted, Mary S. Lowenthal, and Miss Fainsod--wound up in a virtual tie.
The new president, an American History major, is the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Merie Fainsod. She succeeds Elizabeth J. Richmond '62 as head of the 'Cliffe senior class.
