Five current Overseers will step down at the end of this year to make way for their replacements.

The outgoing members include Peter H. Wood '64, a professor of history at Duke University, and Consuela M. Washington, counsel to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the United States House.

Wood and Washington are the last remaining members of the Board nominated by the Harvard Radcliffe Alumni Against Apartheid (HRAAA), a group active in the 1980s that tried to force Harvard to divest itself of financial holdings in South Africa.

Another HRAAA nominee, South African Archbishop Desmond L. Tutu, stepped down from his seat on the Board last year, making room for a sixth new member.

Also stepping down from the Board in 1993 are Vice President Albert A. Gore Jr. '69, former MIT President Jerome B. Wiesner and Andrew F. Brimmer, a former governor of the Federal Reserve System.

In addition to Wirth, Ratajczak, and Kay, the new nominees include: Charlotte Pierce Armstrong '49, a New York lawyer; Peter C. B. Bynoe, chair and chief executive of Chicagobased Telemat, Ltd.; Antonio Madero '58, founder and chief executive of Mexico's Corporacion Industrial San Luis; Frank N. Newman '63, vice chair and chief financial officer of BankAmerica; Anne H. Richardson '51, chair of Washington D.C.-based Reading is Fundamental; and Torsten N. Wiesel, President of Rockefeller University.
