Reynolds Scholarships for Foreign Study

HIGHLY qualified younger alumni, as well as members of the present senior class, are again invited to apply for Dartmouth's most distinguished and coveted awards for graduate study, the James B. Reynolds Foreign Scholarships.

Created by the generosity of James B. Reynolds '90, the scholarships are for one year's study abroad on a stipend of $2,000 each. Of the five offered for the academic year 1955-1956, one will be reserved for tenure in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Finland. The other four are available for tenure in any foreign country. Reynolds

Scholars are normally expected to carry on their work at a recognized institution of learning, but in exceptional cases approval may be given to programs of independent investigation.

Appointments are made by the President of the College on recommendation of the Committee on Graduate Fellowships, which considers the ability and character of the applicants as well as the value to society of the programs of study submitted. The latter may be in any field or discipline. The financial need of the candidates is not a factor in selection.

Application forms may be requested by alumni from Professor Francis E. Merrill 'a 6, Acting Chairman of the Committee, goB Thornton Hall, to whom they must be returned with all supporting documents by April 4, 1955. While the Committee does not require alumni candidates to appear for personal interviews, it will endeavor to arrange such interviews if they are requested. Announcement of awards is expected to be made before the end of April.

The other Graduate Fellowships described in the Dartmouth College Bulletin Honors and Degrees, August 1954, are also open to alumni who complete applications by April 23, 1955, on forms obtainable from Professor Merrill.
