The Gallagher Scholarships

Announcement was made by President Hopkins of the award of the Morrill Allen Gallagher Memorial Scholarships to John Parker '29 of Concord, N. H., and Ernest Hargreaves Latham '30 of Lowell, Mass. These scholarships, awarded annually to two undergraduates selected on the basis of the Rhodes scholarship, are the highest and most prized of such awards given by the College. The scholarships are for $600 each.

The Morrill Allen Gallagher Scholarships are based on a gift made by Mrs. Kate M. Morse of Boston. The qualifications on which the awards are based are qualities of manhood, force of character and leadership; literary and scholastic ability and attainments; and physical vigor, as shown by participation in outdoor sports or in other ways. "Excellence in all three qualities is desired" according to the terms of the award, "but in the absence of this combination preference is given to the man who shows distinction either of character and personality, or of intellect, over one who shows a lower degree of excellence in both." Preference is given to students from Boston and the vicinity.

Parker has been a member of the varsity baseball team for the past two seasons and he is rated as one of the best outfielders to play on a Dartmouth team in recent years. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and Sphinx.

Latham has been an outstanding member of the track team since his freshman year when he was one of the best runners on the 1930 track squad. He is a member of Theta Delta Chi fraternity.
