Senior Fellows

EIGHT MEMBERS OF the junior class were named by President Hopkins on March 26 to be Senior Fellows for the coming academic year. They are Walter R. Daggatt of Portland, Ore.; Allan R. Hardie of Garden City, N. Y.; John M. Keefe of Bronxville, N. Y.; Robert C. McQueen of Sea Cliff, N. Y.; George B. Munroe of Joliet, 111.; William C. S. Remsen of Garden City, N. Y.; John W. Reps of Springfield, Mo.; and Larned A. Waterman of Bettendorf, lowa.

The Senior Fellows in the Class of 1943 will be permitted to start their fellowships in the coming summer semester or in the fall semester, automatically receiving the Bachelor's degree at the end of two terms. The usual conditions of no required class attendance and no examinations will apply, along with the requirement that Senior Fellows must remain in residence at the College; but the condition of free tuition has necessarily been discontinued. Senior Fellows in need of financial aid will qualify for College assistance in the same manner as other undergraduates.

Granted the ultimate in academic freedom, these eight Senior Fellows will undertake a variety of self-directed studies next year. Daggatt, an Economics major, will deal with post-war economy, particularly as related to the machine-tool industry in New England. Hardie, a Psychology major, will make a special study of Semantics or the meaning of verbal symbols, while Keefe, who majored in Economics, will deal with post-war reconstruction and plans for a world free from war. McQueen, who is majoring in actuarial mathematics, will use his Senior Fellowship to further his education in the actuarial field.

Munroe, who is the son of the late George M. Munroe 'l3 and who is studying National Problems as a topical major, will continue the study of the problem of economic reform in the post-war world. Remsen, the son of Richard Remsen 'l2 and a History major, will do research on the relationship between industry and government in a democracy; while Reps, a special major in Regional Planning, will continue his work in that field, particularly with regard to the political and financial problems that confront a planning program from its inception. Waterman, an English Classics honor student and the son of Charles D. Waterman 'l3, will continue his English honors work, focusing his studies upon the great humanists of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Reformation.
