Cramer Fellows

The award of ten Cramer Fellowships to alumni and members of the senior class for graduate study in genetics and other sciences next year was announced by President Hopkins on April 22. The unusually large number of awards was made possible by the addition of accumulated funds to current income from the R. Melville Cramer Foundation.

The eight alumni who received fellowships are John Turkevich '28, of New York City; Oliver S. Hayward '31, of Dorchester, Mass.; Maurice Whittinghill '31, of Upper Montclair, N. J.; Charles E. Moritz '32, of Denver, Colo.; John F. Reed '33, of Roxbury, Me.; John I. Shafer '33, of South Bend, Ind.; Robert S. Turner '33, of Independence, Kan.; and John F. Woodman '33, of Rochester, N. H. The two undergraduates who received fellowships are Charles L. Fleming Jr. '35, of Penns Grove, N. J., and John Glavis '35, of South Pasadena, Calif. All the awards are for $1,000, with the exception of that to Turkevich, which carries a stipend of .$2,000, and that to Hayward, which carries a stipend of $500. Whittinghill and Shafer have been Cramer Fellows during the past two years.

The fellowships are based on a fund now amounting to about $115,000, given by bequest of Dr. R. Melville Cramer '77 of New York City, and are awarded to Dartmouth graduates and others who have shown unusual ability especially in genetics or original laboratory investigation. They are awarded by the President upon recommendation of a Committee on the Cramer Foundation, consisting of the Dean of the Faculty, the Dean of the College, and the Treasurer.

To CONTINUE RESEARCH

'Turkevich, a Proctor Fellow at Princeton this year, will spend next year at Cambridge University extending his promising research in Physical Chemistry. Hayward, who has his M.D. degree from Harvard and is now serving his internship at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover, will do research in pathology at the Dartmouth Medical School. Whittinghill will complete his doctorate in Zoology at the University of Michigan, while Moritz will do the same at the University of California. Reed and Shafer will both complete their doctorates in Botany, the former at Duke University, the latter at Cornell University. Turner, an instructor in Biology at Dartmouth for the past two years, will do graduate work in Zoology at Yale: and Woodman, an instructor in Chemistry at Dartmouth since 1933, will do graduate work in Chemistry at Princeton.

Both undergraduate recipients of Cramer Fellowships will do graduate work in Chemistry next year, Fleming at the University of Illinois and Glavis at California Institute of Technology. Both are Rufus Choate Scholars and members of Phi Beta Kappa.
