Woodrow Wilson Fellows

FIVE Dartmouth alumni who are undertaking graduate study this fall as Woodrow Wilson Fellows are among the thousand prospective college teachers in the United States and Canada who have entered graduate school on grants from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.

They are Robert H. Lafleur '58, Scott E. Pardee '58, Robert K. Faulkner Jr. '56, Jere R. Daniell '55 and Douglas N. Archibald '55. In addition to these five men, Donald W. Aitken Jr. '58 is an honorary Fellow. He is studying physics at the University of Goettingen, Germany, under a National Science Foundation Fellowship, but retains his designation as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow.

Recognizing the critical need for college teachers, the Ford Foundation recently gave the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation $25,000,000 to aid outstanding first-year graduate students. Each fellowship carries a living allowance of $1,400 for single students, with increments for dependents, and pays the full cost of tuition and fees. In order to be considered for a fellowship, a student must be nominated by a faculty member.

Lafleur, who is studying history at Harvard University, reports that he decided to enter teaching at the age of 13. During the past year he had been working on a biographical study o£ John Langdon, the governor of New Hampshire after the Revolution.

While at Dartmouth, he was chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Undergraduate Council in his senior year, president of Green Key in junior year, and class president in sophomore year. He is studying political science at the University of Chicago.

He was chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Undergraduate Council and manager of varsity basketball, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
