Walter E. Washington, Washington, D.C.'s first mayor, will deliver the Radcliffe Commencement address on June 12.
Chosen last September by President Johnson to head the reorganized city government, Washington became the nation's first Negro mayor.
Mayor Washington was chosen for Commencement by Mrs. Bunting from a slate submitted by a Senior committee this fall. The Commencement speaker, traditionally the parent of a Radcliffe student, is the father of Mrs. Bernetta W. Jules-Fossette, '68.
Washington has served as director of the National Capital Housing Authority, and chairman of Mayor John V. Lindsay's New York City Housing Authority.
Washington is chief executive of a compromise version of Johnson's original home rule plan.
