FACULTY COMMITTEE GRANTS FIVE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
William H. McCarter. '19 of Hanover, N. H., has been awarded the Richard Crawford Campbell, Jr., Fellowship, Randolph C. Downes '23 of Hartford, Conn., and Edgar P. Stocker '23 of Cleveland, 0., have been appointed to the George E. Chamberlin Fellowship for 1923-24, Arthur E. Gordon '23 of Worcester, Mass., has been awarded the Henry Elijah Parker Fellowship, and Robert E. Maxwell '23 of Winona, Mich., has been appointed to the William Jewett Tucker Fellowship. These awards have been made on the recommendation of the Committee on Graduation Instruction and Fellowships.
The Campbell Fellowship, carrying a stipend of $850 a year, is based on a fund by Mr. and Mrs. Richard C. Campbell, Jr., of Denver, Colo., as a memorial to their son, Richard Crawford Campbell, Jr., of the class of 1921, to endow a fellowship for graduate study in English literature.
Mr. McCarter, who is an instructor in the English Department at Dartmouth, is at present on a leave of absence studying at Harvard. He will continue on leave next year, while holding the Campbell Fellowship and will study in Europe.
The George E. Chamberlin Fellowship is based upon a fund given by bequest of Mrs. Adelia D. McAlpine of New York City in commemoration of the life and service of George Ephraim Chamberlin of the class of 1860, lieutenant-colonel of the Eleventh Regiment of Vermont Volunteers in the Civil War, who was mortally wounded in battle near Charleston, Va., Aug. 23, 1864.
The value of the fellowship is $1000 a year and may be held for two years. During the time in which the receiver of the award is upon the fellowship he shall pursue advanced studies, not professional, subject to the approval of the faculty. He shall also regard himself as committed to an engagement as a teacher in the College for the year after his fellowship expires in case the College requires his services.
Downes and Stocker will divide the fellowship equally. The former will undertake graduate work in American History at the University of Wisconsin next year. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. Stocker will study at Columbia for the next two years for his degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science.
The Parker Fellowship, valued at $1000, is based upon a fund bequeathed to Dartmouth by Professor Henry Elijah Parker, who was professor of the Latin language and literature at Dartmouth from 1866 to 1896, the last four years as professor emeritus. The conditions of the fellowship are the same as those applied to the Chamberlin Fellowship.
Gordon, winner of the Parker Fellowship, will study Latin and Greek next year at the American Academy at Rome, and the following year will continue study in the classics at Goettingen University in Germany and at the Sarbonne in Paris. He intends to get his degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Princeton. Gordon is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity.
The Tucker Fellowship, carrying a stipend varying from year to year, is offered by the alumni of the College through the medium of the Dartmouth College Alumni Fund. It is offered from time to time to exceptional men among the graduates of the College, and its aim is to secure the services of those among the graduates who may be best qualified for college teaching. Hence the holder shall be ready, if required, at the end of his term, to serve the College as an instructor.
Maxwell, winner of the Tucker Fellowship, was on his freshman cross country team, and was in the second honor group his first two years. He is circulation manager of The Dartmouth, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, is a letter man of this year's ski team, and belongs to the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity.
