Five Seniors Receive Fulbright Scholarships
FIVE Dartmouth College seniors have been awarded Fulbright Scholarships for study abroad in 1964-65.
They are Steven B. Caldwell '64, Rensselaer, N. Y., who will tutor English at a university in India from July-February and study philosophy during the remainder of the year; Paul Jeremy Cook '64, San Diego, Calif., who will study German literature at the University of Munster in Germany; Howard W. Day '64, Springfield, Vt., who will stury geology at the University of Oslo in Norway; William M. LaRiche, Jr. '64, Cleveland, Ohio, who will study French literature at the University of Lyons in France, and Vallance A. Wickens III '64, Concord, N. H., who will study philosophy at University College, Oxford, in England.
The Fulbright awards are made under the provisions of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961. All candidates are selected by the Board of Foreign Scholarships, whose members are appointed by the President. The candidates are recommended by campus committees, state committees and by the Institute of International Education.
The program which Caldwell will be participating in, of teaching assistantships in India, is in its third year. The recipients of these awards leave the United States in early June and receive in India a special training course in the teaching of English as a foreign language before they begin teaching in July. They are through with their teaching duties at the end of February and are free to pursue their own studies or research.
