AMHERST FELLOWSHIP OPEN TO TUCK SCHOOL GRADUATES

All Tuck School men who have graduated from college are eligible for the Amherst Memorial Fellowship for a term beginning September 1, 1923 according to a recent announcement. The purpose of the fellowship is expressed in the deed of gift: "Realizing the need for better understanding and more complete adjustment between man and existing social, economic and political institutions, it is my desire to establish a fellowship for a study of the . principles underlying these human relationships."

The man who is eligible for appointment to the fellowship should be "a college or university graduate, a man of sound health, and during his previous training he should have shown those qualities of leadership which are' founded on strength of character. He should have evidence of marked mental ability in some branch of the social sciences —economics, politics or history—and have given promise of original contributions to his particular field of study. He should have demonstrated a spirit of service rather than ambition for personal advancement, and should intend to devote his life to the betterment of social conditions through teaching in its broad sense, journalism, politics and field work."

The term of this fellowship is made for two years, but the committee in charge has the option of extending it for one or two additional years.

The privileges and obligations connected with this fellowship are: "1. Each fellow is to follow a plan of study formulated by him and approved by the committee in charge of the fellowship; 2. He may reside during the period of his fellowship at any place approved by the committee in charge, though it is earnestly desired that at least half of his appointment shall be spent in Europe; 3. It is expected that his work will find expression in a printed contribution to the literature of his subject; 4. The committee in charge reserves all property-rights in the study or studies completed by the fellow, including the right to determine the form of publication; S. It is expected that arrangements will be made for publication which will entail no expense upon the fellow; and 6. The fellowship carries with it a stipend of two thousand dollars a year."
