Hopkins Scholars

The first two Hopkins Scholars, sons of Dartmouth men who died in military service during World War 11, entered Dartmouth last month as members of the Class of 1953. They are John J. Dailey of Baltimore, Md., son of the late Col. Michael A. Dailey '04, USA, and Daniel E. Woodward of South Hactley, Mass., son of the late Capt. Evan A. Woodward '22, AAF.

The Ernest Martin Hopkins Scholarships, established by the Dartmouth Trustees in 1945, provide a stipend of up to $l300, covering full tuition, room and board. Under the terms of this living memorial to Dartmouth's war dead, the sons of the alumni who gave their lives in military service are eligible to become Hopkins Scholars upon their admission to the College and are given their tuition, room and board throughout the four-year undergraduate course. The award of the special scholarships is not related to need, although one of the primary purposes that the Trustees had in mind was to make a college education possible for those sons who might not otherwise be able to afford it. In addition to receiving substantial financial aid, the Hopkins Scholars will be an honored group on the campus, serving to remind undergraduates of the sacrifices made by an earlier generation of Dartmouth men.

Young Dailey and Woodward, who served three years in the Marine Corps, are the first Hopkins Scholars among a total of 45 Dartmouth sons listed in the College records as eligible for the memorial scholarships should they meet the admissions requirements at Dartmouth.
