Cramer Fellowships

The award of five Cramer Foundation fellowships for graduate study in genetics and the other sciences was announced by President Hopkins on April 14. Recipients of the $1000 grants were Lynwood N. Whitehill '35, instructor in Chemistry; Sanborn C. Brown '35, assistant in Physics; and three members of the senior class, Henry M. Doremus '37 of Towaco, N. J.; Anthony Turkevich '37 of Chicago; and Alvin R. Whitehill '37 of Passumpsic, Vt.

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 the Committee on the Cramer Foundation, consisting of the Dean of the Faculty, the Dean of the College, and the Treasurer.

Whitehill and Brown, the faculty recipients, will do advanced work in their particular fields of teaching. Doremus, who is president of Bait and Bullet and head of the Fish and Game Department of the Outing Club, will do graduate work in Biology. Turkevich, a Phi Beta Kappa student, will continue his studies in Chemistry, and Whitehill, brother of the faculty recipient, will continue his work in the field of Botany.
