He holds an M.A. from Dartmouth and a Ph.D. from Yale.
Mr. Vaughan returns to Dartmouth from Harvard where he has been doing advanced research in Chemistry and from which he recently obtained his Ph.D. He was Instructor in Chemistry here for one year following his graduation. In 1941-42 he received from the College a Cramer Fellowship for advanced study in the sciences. Mr. Nelb comes from Lawrence, Mass., and has just received his A.B. degree from Dartmouth.
