Lund An alumnus and trustee of Northwestern University, Paul M. Lund had a devoted interest in business, society and education. A native Chicagoan and former vice president of Illinois Bell Telephone Company, Mr. Lund served as president of United Charities, a director of the Association of Commerce and Industry, and of the Community Renewal Society. He was the Midwest advisory board member of the Institute of International Education, vice president of the Northwestern University Alumni Association and a member of the Illinois State Legislative Commission for Elementary and Secondary Non-Public Schools. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in 1947 from the Medili School of Journalism and was a recipient of Northwestern's Alumni Merit Award. A scholarship fund in his honor for the benefit of students in the field of public relations was set up by the Public Relations Society of America, an organization in which he was active. At the time of his death in 1975, Mr. Lund was vice president of public relations and em ployee information for the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. His career with the Bell System began in 1947 when he joined Illinois Bell following service in the U.S. Navy as a lieutenant. He served in several management positions with the company until 1955 when he joined the J. Walter Thompson Company of Chicago. He returned to Illinois Bell in 1963 and was elected vice president for public relations in 1967. Two years later, he became vice presi dent of Illinois Bell's suburban operations. In 1971 he was elected a vice president of AT&T. Mr. Lund long demonstrated a concern for the responsibility of the corporation in an ever- changing society. Therefore, at the threshold of the telephone industry's second hundred years, and in recognition of Paul Lund's dedication to business and its role in a changing society, Illinois Bell and AT&T have instituted at North western a series of discussions about the shape society will take in the coming decades.
