Three Marshall Scholars

COVETED Marshall Scholarships have been awarded to three members of the Class of 1961. The British government has announced a total of 24 Marshall Scholarship holders for the 1961-62 academic year, with Dartmouth, Harvard "and Princeton each producing three winners. Eighteen other institutions had one winner each.

The Dartmouth recipients are: Edward Victor '61, Flushing, N. Y., who will study English at Pembroke College, Cambridge University; Stanley P. Bates '61, Glendale, Calif., who will do graduate work in philosophy, politics and economics at Magdalen College, Oxford University; and Stuart A. Kauffman '61, Sacramento, Calif., who will study psychology, philosophy and physiology at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Marshall Scholarships were first awarded in 1952 by the British government as a token of appreciation for the Marshall Plan. The scholarship entitles each recipient to two years of study at a British university of his choice. The student's stipend pays for full tuition, travel expenses, book costs and provides a $1,540 annual living allowance.

Kauffman received his A.B. in January with summa cum laude honors. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, a Senior Fellow and a Rufus Choate Scholar. He also was president of the Dartmouth Mountaineering Club and a member of the Forensic Union.

Bates has been an Alfred P. Sloan National Scholar for four years and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year. He was a member of Dartmouth's G.E. College Bowl team which last year won three games on the CBS-TV quiz show.

Victor was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year and is currently one of ten students enrolled in the English honors program.

Two of the winners, Victor and Bates, were also recipients of Woodrow Wilson Fellowships, but as Marshall Scholars they will forego the Wilson awards.
