PROFESSOR VANDERPLUE HANDS IN RESIGNATION

Announcement of the resignation of Professor H. B. Vanderblue, Professor of Business Economics in the Graduate School of Business Administration was received yesterday from University Hall. The fact that three leaves of absence had been granted was also disclosed.

Professor Vanderblue was graduated from Northwestern in 1911 receiving his Masters degree in 1912. He came to Harvard in 1915 being instructor in economics here for two years. From 1916 to 1922 he was associate professor of transportation at Northwestern University but he returned to Cambridge again in 1922. At present Professor Vanderblue is Director of Economic Research and also professor in the Business School. His resignation does not take effect until next September. Evidently Professor Vanderblue has made no future plans, for when asked what he intended to do next year he merely said, "How do I know?"

Professor J. H. Beale '82 of the Law School has been granted a sabbatical leave of absence for the second half year of 1929-30. Professor Beale has been Royall Professor of Law since 1913.

The announcement of two leaves of absence both to members of the law school faculty, for the entire year 1929-30 was also given out. Assistant Professor J. B. Thayer '21, and Assistant Professor R. S. Foster, a graduate of Yale who received his LL.B. in 1924, both of whom have had connections with the Law School since 1927, will be absent next year.
