Class of 1926 Fellow

A DRIAN BECK '41 of Alburgh Springs, Vt., has been named by President Hopkins to be the Class of 1926 Fellow next year. A Political Science major, he will go to Washington to study government regulation of the nation's milk industry.

The Class of 1926 Fellowship, established five years ago by an anonymous member of the Class of 1926, provides $l5OO annually to enable an outstanding member of the senior class to substitute for the usual fourth-year program a firsthand study of public affairs, including some active participation therein and so planned as to increase the Fellow's active usefulness as a citizen. The usual residence requirements of the College are modified by the Board of Trustees to allow the Fellow to spend the greater part of the senior year in some center of political activity, presumably Washington.

Beck has lived on a farm all his life and has had a special interest in the problems of the dairy farmer. He is a graduate of Montpelier (Vt.) Seminary, and as a Dartmouth undergraduate he has been on the varsity debate team and has been a member of the Forensic Union, Germania, and the Corinthian Yacht Club.

The special committee which recommended the Class of 1926 Fellow to President Hopkins was headed by Prof. James P. Richardson '99 of the Political Science department, and included Prof. Ray V. Leffler of the Economics department, Prof. Harold J. Tobin '17 of the Political Science department, Dean E. Gordon Bill, Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger '23, Prof. Francis J. Neef, director of the Personnel Bureau, and Prof. Anton A. Raven, junior class officer.
