Cramer Fellowships

RICHARD W. YOUNG '46, a graduate student at Columbia University, was one of three recipients of Cramer Fellowships awarded by the College last month for research in genetics and chemistry. The other recipients are Henry M. Butzel Jr. of Brunswick, Me., a teaching fellow at Bowdoin College, and William GoodSmith of Amherst, Mass., assistant in the department of biology at Amherst.

An assistant in the chemistry depart ment at Dartmouth during 1946-47, Young was awarded a Cramer Fellowship for a second year in order to permit him to continue his graduate work in chemistry at Columbia. A native of Ridgewood, N. J., he is now a resident of Middle Valley, L. 1., N. Y.

An alumnus of Williams, Butzel plans to use his fellowship for research in the genetics of micro-organisms at the University of Indiana. He is a native of Detroit.

A graduate of Amherst, Good Smith plans to continue his research on the factors influencing the expression of the positive effect phenomenon in genetics.

Established by Dr. R. Melville Cramer '77, the Cramer Fellowships are awarded to students who have shown unusual ability in the study of genetics or in original laboratory investigation.
