Cramer Fellows

CRAMER FELLOWSHIPS for graduate study in the sciences next year have been awarded to three Dartmouth seniors and a senior at Wesleyan University. Recipients of the grants of $1,000 each are Donald H. Brown '40 of Wayland, Mass.; James G. Buck '40 of West Lebanon, N. H.; Kenneth C. Steele '40 of Springfield, Mass.; and J. Philip Trinkhaus, senior at Wesleyan.

The fellowships, granted on the R. Melville Cramer Foundation, 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 in original laboratory investigation.

Steele and Trinkhaus will do graduate work next year in genetics and embryology, while Brown will continue his special studies in the field of Botany, and Buck will carry on his individual research in high-frequency radiations and nuclear physics, fields related to physiological and medical research and therefore of bearing on genetics.
