DARTMOUTH GRADUATE WINS HONORS AT OXFORD

Franklin McDuffie '21, holder of the Richard Crawford Campbell, Jr., fellowship from Dartmouth at Balloil College, Oxford University, has recently been declared the winner of the "exhibitions," one of the most distinguished honors which can be won at the English university, which consists of a series of five three-hour competitive examinations.

These examinations include the writing of an essay, a general paper on Shakespeare, and examinations on general literature and four plays of Shakespeare.

Following his graduation McDuffie has studied at Oxford and will complete his course there this year. He will spend next year traveling and studying on the continent before returning to Dartmouth as a member of the English Department.

As an undergraduate McDuffie attained prominence by his talent as a writer of poetry, and contributed many poems to the Bema, of which he was an associate editor for three years. He was generally considered to possess greater poetic genius than any other Dartmouth student since Richard Hovey.

In addition to his position on the Bema board McDuffie was also president of The Arts his senior year, a member of the Cercle Francaise and Round Robin. He also was awarded the Perkins Literature prize and departmental honors in Philosophy his senior year. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and the Epsilon Kappa Phi fraternities.
