Dewey (Tufts and the University of Michigan), new President Frederick Harold Stinchfield of the American Bar Association (Bowdoin and Bates), retiring President Mary Emma Woolley of Mount Holyoke (Bucknell and Columbia), RFChairman Jesse Holman Jones (Temple and New York University), John Gilbert Winant, onetime chairman...
