In Brief . . .

AT the Commencement exercises on June 11, the degree of Bachelor of Medical Science will be awarded for the first time to the second-year class of the Dartmouth Medical School. This degree, approved by the Trustees, replaces the "Diploma in Medicine" previously awarded for the successful completion of the two-year medical course.

The winner of the Barrett Cup for 1961 is Alan A. Rozycki '61 of Chicago. This coveted award, of long tradition, is presented each year at Wet Down to "that member of the senior class whom the three, upper classes choose as giving the greatest promise of becoming a factor in the outside world through his strength of character and qualities of leadership, record of scholarship and broad achievement, and his influence among his fellows."

Rozycki, a top-ranking student as well as a football and lacrosse star, also received the Alfred E. Watson Trophy, given annually to the man whom the varsity coaches in all sports name as the outstanding Dartmouth athlete of the year; and The Dartmouth Cup, given annually to "the senior athlete who on and off the field reflects the greatest credit to the College."

Letters of admission to the Class of 1965 were mailed May 6 to 1230 of some 3,700 applicants for next fall's entering class. Because of multiple applications, this many acceptances were necessary to fill 800 places, the target size of the next freshman class. About 135 students received admission under the Early Decision Plan, instituted two years ago with the Class of 1963. The students accepted had until May 24 to send their replies to the College.

A Dartmouth wife will be the first woman ever admitted to Princeton for a degree, it was reported in the press last month. Sabra Follett Meservey, wife of Edward B. Meservey '38, has received a Danforth Foundation Fellowship and will start work next fall toward a Ph.D. in the Department of Oriental Studies. She is a history teacher at Douglass College in New Jersey. Her husband, native of Hanover, is a research physicist with the James Forrestal Research Center at Princeton.
