As Featured Speaker

THE PRINCIPAL address on Alumni Day, May
24, will be delivered by Glenn E. Bennett, a

two year graduate of the class of 1927, and a
native of Shelby county. Mi·. Bennett will take
a leave of absence from his duties on the staff of
the Secretary General, United Nations Organiza-
tion, to be present at the alumni festivities.

In 1932 he received his B. S. degree in Edu-
cation from the University of Illinois and the
following year received his M. A. degree in So-
ciology from the University. Previous to being
commissioned a Lieutenant (jg) in the USNR in
1943, he was the principal of Emerson School at
Berwyn, Illinois. After serving in both Wash-
ington and London on various committees of the
Combined Chiefs of Staff, he was released to in-
active duty as Lt. Commander, USNR in April,
1946. He joined the United Nations Secretariat
the following month. At present, Mr. Bennett
is executive officer for the Headquarters Plan-
ning Office which is planning the permanent
headquarters of the United Nations in Manhat-
tan. He is also secretary of the Headquarters
Ad\·isory Committee.
