Provost Al Carnesale leads the delegation when Harvard Comes to Atlanta on April 12.

Mother Harvard Calls You Home

Harvard classes, professors, and students without those pesky exams: what could be better? All alumni--but especially 1997 reunion-class members, their spouses, and their high-school-age children--are encouraged to attend "Return to Harvard Day," on Wednesday, April 16, when you can see Harvard at full academic speed, visit classes, and meet faculty members. The HAA sends a brochure describing the event to reunioners in the Greater Boston area. If you would like to come but don't receive a brochure, contact Marilyn Scott, Wadsworth House, Cambridge 02138; (617) 495-2555; fax, 495-0434; or e-mail, "mscott@harvard.edu".

Note: Nominations of one or more additional Overseer candidates may be made in each year by holders of Harvard degrees. Such nominations must be made on an official nomination form furnished by the Secretary of the Board upon request to qualified applicants, and for 1997 had to contain at least 252 valid signatures. Such nominations, addressed to the Secretary of the Board, had to be filed at his office, 17 Quincy Street, Cambridge 02138, by 5 p.m. on February 10, 1997.

Additional nominations for HAA elected director may be made by certificate, signed by regular members of the association in number not less than three-quarters of one percent of the average votes cast in the previous three elections. For the 1997 election, the number of signatures needed was 248.
