Dear Alums,
The Varsity Club and the Hall of Fame Committee (co-chaired by Lane
MacDonald '88-'89 and Char Joslin '90 and including Jeanne Downs '84,
Scott Collins '87, Bob Glatz '88, long-time Head Trainer Dick Emerson
and long-time Sports Information Director John Veneziano) needs your
help. There was a "Call for Nominations" in the Jan. 30th issue of "News
& Views" and now the Varsity Club is following up with individual
sports' alums.
The criteria for Hall of Fame induction is listed below. We appreciate
any and all assistance to make sure the committee does not overlook any
worthy candidates for induction. *Please send us any nominees you may
have by March 14th* so they can be reviewed at the next Hall of Fame
committee meeting.
The committee is currently reviewing candidates for 2009 induction. The
2008 class -- listed below -- will be inducted at the Harvard Club of
Boston on Comm. Ave. on* Friday, May 9, 2008*.
*For a complete list of men's and women's swimmers already inducted in
the Varsity Club Hall of Fame go to:*

*One way the HOF Committee is trying to stay on top of all Hall of Fame
candidates is by creating a running list of candidates for each sport,
regardless of whether the athlete has been out for 15 years and is
eligible for induction yet or not. Even if you don't have any nominees
for 2009 at this time, we would appreciate any nominations you have so
we can start compiling the statistical data for those candidates.
Thank you in advance for your help. Please send nominations to
mcneeley(a)fas.harvard.edu or to the mailing address below or call
617-495-3535.
Best,
Paul McNeeley
Assistant Director, Harvard Varsity Club
