CHENEY '20 .RECEIVES COFFIN FELLOWSHIP A SECOND TIME
August, 1925

E- W. Cheney '2O, who received a master of arts degree from Brown in 1924 has been awarded a Charles A. Coffin Foundation fellowship for the second time in order to enable him to complete his research work on the electron theory at Princeton University. The following year he expects to do research work at Princeton in determining the effect of temperature on the index refraction for gases.

The Charles Al. Coffin Foundation fellowships, which are in the fields of electricity, physics, and physical chemistry, were instituted by the Charles A. Coffin Foundation—a foundation established in 1923 by the General Electric Company in honor of the first president and chairman of the board of directors of the company.

Five thousand dollars are devoted annually to this purpose, and awards are made to graduate students of universities, colleges, and technical schools who have shown by the high character of their work, that they could with advantage undertake or continue research work in the educational institutions of this country or abroad.
