Senior Fellows
Undergraduate fellowships for the academic year 1938-39 were awarded by President Hopkins to eight members of the junior class on March 23, seven as Senior Fellows and one as the Class of 1926 Fellow. The undergraduates honored with Senior Fellowships are Charles T. Davis, Hampton, Va.; Rodger S. Harrison, New York City; Louis A. Highmark, Duluth, Minn.; Robert L. Kaiser, Westfield, N. J.; John V. Kelleher, Lawrence, Mass.; William W. Remington, Ridgewood, N. J.; and Frederic K. Upton, Concord, N. H. The winner of the coveted Class of 1926 Fellowship is Stanley M. Brown of Bradford, N. H.
As Senior Fellows, these seven members of next year's senior class will be given a free hand to pursue their studies in whatever manner they choose. They will not be required to attend classes, to take examinations, or to pay tuition fees, and at the end of senior year they will automatically receive 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, established in 1935 by an anonymous member of the Class of 1926, provides $1500 for a year of political study away from Hanover, presumably in Washington. It 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 permitted to be absent from Hanover for the greater part of his senior year.
