Bolivian Fellow

AWARD OF THE George E. Chamberlin Fellowship to Joaquin Lavayen Aguirre '44 of Cochabamba, Bolivia, for graduate study of the philosophy and literature of the Latin World at Stanford University, was announced by President Hopkins last month. Aguirre, who completed his Dartmouth course in February, originally came to the College as an exchange student from Bolivia and later was enrolled as a member of the Class of 1944.

The George E. Chamberlin Fellowship carries a stipend of $900 and was awarded upon recommendation of the Committee on Fellowships and Prizes, of which Prof. James F. Cusick is chairman.

At the time he was selected to come to this country as an exchange student Aguirre was working for the State Department in Bolivia. He had already had the equivalent of two years of an American college and had also attended law school for two years. It is his intention to teach either in the United States or in South America, serving as an interpreter of one culture to the other.
