Tuck Scholarships for Foreign Service Sons

A SCHOLARSHIP providing up to $800 annually to qualified sons of career officers in the U. S. Foreign Service has been established at Dartmouth by S. Pinkney Tuck '13 of Geneva, Switzerland, a member of the board of directors of the Suez Canal and former U. S. Ambassador to Egypt, President Dickey announced last month.

John A. Gray '51 of Columbia, S. C., the son of Archibald E. Gray, United States consul in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is the first recipient of aid from the Tuck Scholarship.

Aid from this scholarship will be awarded annually by the College to qualified sons of career foreign service officers, or, in their absence, to worthy undergraduates interested in international affairs. Mr. Tuck entered the U. S. diplomatic

service after his graduation from Dartmouth and for 35 years represented this country abroad as a career service officer until he resigned his position as U. S. Ambassador to Egypt in May.

Previously he had been a consular officer and diplomatic secretary in Europe, the Middle and the Far East, and South America, being stationed variously in Constantinople, Paris, Alexandria, Cairo, Vladivostock, Budapest, Prague and Buenos Aires.

During the 1920's and 1930's Mr. Tuck was a member of several U. S. delegations to disarmament and other international conferences. After the occupation of Northern France in World War II he was counselor of the U. S. Embassy in Vichy. Later he was interned by the Germans and repatriated on the exchange ship Gripsholm.

Mr. Tuck is the first American national to serve on the board of directors of the Suez Canal.
