Delanor for Washington, to serve on the Federal Reserve Board. Harold Swift, who graduated in 190?. is the first alumnus to he so honored since the founding of this in- stitution, and his selection was a source of great pleasure to the great body of alumni who have so long urged the selection of one of their number to the governing body of the Univer- sily. They have a further czuusc I'or rejoicing in that they are to he so ably represented in Mr. Swift. He is still a young man, not yet quite thirty. He is wholly a product of Chicago, for he was born mid has lived all his life here. He was graduated from the Hyde Park High School in 1913, and upon entering the University was elected to the Delta Kappa Epsilon.

He was chosen for Owl and Serpent, appointed a University Marshal, nnd islccled president of the Senior Class. Since graduation he has been associated with Swift and Company, acting as assistant to his brother, Charles H. Swifl, one of the vice-presidents.
