JAMES B. REYNOLDS SCHOLARSHIPS of $2,000 each for foreign study next year have been awarded to four Dartmouth men, two of them recent graduates and the other two seniors. Recipients are Russell A. Fraser '47 of Culver City, Calif.; Dean S. Worth '49 of Waban, Mass.; Robert Caterson '5l of Bridgeport, Conn.; and Warren G. Pfaff '51 of Great Neck, N. Y.
Fraser, who obtained his Ph.D. at Harvard last June, will use his Reynolds Scholarship to do further work in English literature at Oxford and the British Museum. Worth, who was a Great Issues instructor in 1949-50 and holds a Reynolds grant this year, will continue his study of Russian civilization and Soviet affairs at the Slavic Institute of the University of Paris. Caterson, a Senior Fellow, and Pfaff will both go to Paris in the fall, the former to study French literature at the Sorbonne and Pfaff to study art and art history in preparation for a career as theatrical scenery designer.
The Reynolds Scholarships, inaugurated last year, are the largest graduate awards now made by the College. They were established by bequest of James B. Reynolds '90, Washington lawyer, who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury from 1905 to 1909, member of the U. S. Tariff Board from 1909 to 1912, and Secretary of the Republican National Committee from 1913 to 1920. Key factors in their award are the character and ability of the recipient and the soundness and social value of his study program abroad.
