GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES FELLOWSHIPS

In order to improve the quality of education and the practice of the arts and professions in the United States, to foster research, and to provide for the cause of better international understanding, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, established by former United States Senator and Mrs. Simon Guggenheim as a memorial to a son who died April 26, 1922, offers a limited number of Fellowships, tenable abroad under the freest possible conditions, for research in any field of knowledge and for creative work in any of the fine arts, including music. Appointments to Fellowships will be made by a Committee of Selection, subject to ratification by the Board of Trustees.

Fellowships are open to men or women, and to married or unmarried candidates. The Trustees prescribe no age limits for Fellows; but it is expected that ordinarily they will be not younger than 25, and not older than 35, years. The Fellowships are open to citizens (or, in exceptional cases, to permanent residents who are not citizens) of the United States, irrespective of race, color, or creed.

The Committee of Selection will require evidence that candidates are persons of unusual capacity for research, demonstrated ordinarily by the previous publication of contributions to knowledge of high merit, or that they are persons of unusual and proved creative ability in someone of the fine arts. Definite plans for their proposed foreign study must be presented by all candidates. The Foundation will consult with responsible scholars and artists regarding the value and practicability of the projects presented, and the personality and promise of the applicants.

Applications for Fellowships must be made in writing, on or before November 15, 1926, by the candidates themselves in the form prescribed, addressed to Henry Allen Moe, Secretary, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, 2300 Pershing Square Building, New York City. Final selections of Fellows for 1927-28 will be made early in March, 1927. Application forms will be mailed by the Secretary upon request.
