Undergraduate fellowships for the academic year 1937-38 have been awarded to seven members of the junior class, six as Senior Fellows and one as Class of 1926 Fellow, it was announced by President Hopkins following the spring meeting of the Board of Trustees. The undergraduates honored with Senior Fellowships are David J. Bradley, Madison, Wis.; William C. Chamberlin, Chicago; H. Telfer Mook, Metuchen, N. J.; Robert H. Reno, Macon, Ill.; Frederick E. Wagner, Milwaukee, Wis.; and Ben Ames Williams Jr., Chestnut Hill, Mass. The Class of 1926 Fellow, to whom is awarded $1500 for a year of political study in Washington, will be Frank C. Newman of South Pasadena, Calif.
Under the Senior Fellowship plan, established by the Dartmouth Trustees in 1929, a small group of fourth-year students are given the privilege of pursuing their studies in whatever manner they choose. They are not required to attend classes, to take examinations, or to pay tuition fees, and at the end of the senior year are automatically granted their bachelor degrees. The only requirement is that as Senior Fellows they must be in residence at the College throughout the year and must remain in good standing as members of the College.
The Class of 1926 Fellowship, made possible through the generosity of an anonymous member of the Class of 1926, is awarded annually to an undergraduate interested in public affairs, desirous of active participation in them, and qualified to carry out a program of work aimed to increase his usefulness as a citizen. By special permission of the Board of Trustees, the Class of 1926 Fellow is allowed to be absent from Hanover for the greater part of his senior year in order to make a firsthand study of public affairs, usually in Washington. Newman will be the third holder of the fellowship since its establishment in 1935.
