The Morrill Allen Gallagher Memorial Scholarships have been awarded to J. D. Robinson, Jr. '32 of Medford, Massachusetts, and J. A. Wright '32 of Omaha, Nebraska.

The scholarships are for $600 each, based on a gift of $25,000 made by the late Mrs. Kate M. Morse of Boston.

Hubbell '35, of Bridgeport, Connecticut. These scholarships of $5OO each are based on a fund of $43,900 established by bequest of Justin H. Smith of New York. They are awarded annually to students "distinguished for proficiency in studies, sound morals and physical health."

Croly was the winner last year of the Nathan Jenks prize for exceptional work in Biology. His scholastic average for three years is 3.3. He is a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

He was president of the junior and senior classes, vice-president of the Student League, and the winner of the Harvard Book Prize, the Scholarship-Leadership pin, the Teachers Association Prize in Mathematics, and the American Legion Medal for the outstanding senior.

The seven regional scholarships of $700 each are founded for the purpose of assuring financial aid to applicants of outstanding excellence and are awarded to entering freshmen. Once awarded they are continued as long as the recipient remains an undergraduate in good standing and is eligible for scholarship aid.

The William Pierce Johnson Fund Scholarships for applicants from California have been awarded to F. J. Glavis '35 of Pasadena and L. G. Sommer '35 of Hollywood. Glavis prepared at the South Pasadena Senior High School and Sommer at the Burbank and Beverly Hills high schools and Tabor Academy.

Dunn prepared at the Torrington High School and Shortell at the Ansonia High School. These scholarships are based on a fund of $123,000 given by bequest of Charles F. Brooker of Ansonia.

The Second College Grant Fund Scholarships for applicants from New Hampshire were granted to G. F. Hill '35 of Littleton and E. J. Sousane '35 of Nashua. Hill prepared at the Littleton High School and Worcester Academy and Sousane at the Nashua High School. The funds on which these scholarships are based were derived from the proceeds of timber cuttings on the Second College Grant, a tract of land in northeastern New Hampshire given to the College by the State of New Hampshire in 1807.

The Randolph McNutt Fund Scholarship, to be awarded each alternate year beginning this year with preference given to applicants from western New York, has been awarded to E. M.
