Senior Fellows

THE return of spring to Hanover always brings announcements of honors and fellowships being awarded to deserving students. This year President Dickey has named seven juniors of exceptional qualifications to be Senior Fellows, and four others to receive the coveted Class of 1926 Fellowships for independent work in public affairs. The senior fellowship programs allow these students to pursue independent studies and frees them from the necessity of attending regular classes and taking examinations. The special Class of 1926 awards give the holders a chance to make a firsthand study of public affairs by actively participating in them. Usually these students serve as interns in various government agencies during the summer vacation and fall term.

The seven Senior Fellows and their projects are: David E. Bond, Burlington, Ont., Canada, "A Study of Possible Economic Development of Thailand."

James A. Herbert, Wickford, R. I., "Attitudes and the Evolution of Style in Abstract Expressionism."
