Transportation Scholarship

A PRIZE scholarship of $1000 for a student interested in transportation and an additional grant of $1000 to Dartmouth College have resulted from the award of the 1960 Seley Transportation Medal to Edward F. Hamm Jr. '30 of Washington, D. C. As accompaniments of this award for distinguished service to transportation, the Transportation Association of America presents to the college of the recipient's choice the scholarship and outright grant that Mr. Hamm has assigned to Dartmouth.

Mr. Hamm was honored as publisher of Traffic World, the leading publication in the transportation field; for his leadership as chairman of National Transportation Week; for his major contributions as Managing Director of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the period of the Commission's reorganization; and "for his unselfish contributions of time, talent and facilities to various important traffic and transportation organizations."

John C. Blew '62 of Orland Park, Ill., has been chosen to receive the scholarship for transportation studies. A top-ranking student in economics, he will be a participant this year in the urban studies program jointly administered by Dartmouth and M.I.T. and will focus his participation in that program on transportation.
