FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS for the 1967-68 academic year have been awarded to six faculty members. The fellowships were inaugurated in 1961 to give young faculty members one uninterrupted year for study, research, and writing in their scholarly fields. The recipients and their plans are:

Martin A. Arkowitz, Associate Professor of Mathematics, who plans to pursue a program of mathematical study and research at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University, England.

Jere R. Daniell II '55, Assistant Professor of History, who plans to prepare for publication his study of New Hampshire politics in the era of the American Revolution, and to begin a study of community development in the Upper Con- necticut Valley between 1760 and 1820.

John G. Garrard, Assistant Professor of Russian Language and Literature, who will continue his project on "A Literary Biography of N. M. Karamzin (1766-1826)." He will pursue his research at the Taylorian Institution at Oxford and the British Museum, and will also spend time in Leningrad and Moscow.

Richard L. Regosin '59, Assistant Professor of Romance Languages and Literature, whose project will be a study of the "Relationship between Tradition and Innovation in the Poetry of the Pleiade." He will conduct his research at Baker Library, the Library of Congress, and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.

R. Dale Sweeney, Assistant Professor of Classics, who will devote his fellowship to the preparation of a short-title catalogue of the Latin classical manuscripts of the Vatican Library. He will spend the year in Rome.

Thomas Vargish, Assistant Professor of English, who will go to England to complete research for a study of the works of John Henry Newman.

THE effects of true weightlessness on plant growth were tested by Charles J. Lyon, Research Professor of Botany, in the early September flight of Biosatellite B from Cape Kennedy. He prepared one of eleven experiments that were orbited for three days. The overall aim of the flight (the first biosatellite performed well in December 1966 but was never recovered) was to begin large-scale study of the basic biology of the space environment. The project is managed by NASA's Ames Research Center near Mountain View, Calif.

Professor Lyon's experiments are concerned with the effects of weightlessness on the growth and shape of plants. He has been investigating how plants react without the effects of gravity and has simulated gravity-free conditions by placing plants on a laboratory apparatus called a clinostat. This device keeps the stem of the plant horizontal while the plant is rotated slowly on the stem's axis causing gravity to act successively around the plant.

FORTY members of the College and associated school faculties were promoted in rank as of July 1.

Elevated to full professor on the faculty of arts and sciences were: William L. Baldwin, Economics; Mario di Bonaventura, Music; Meredith O. Clement, Economics; Richard H. Crowell, Mathematics; Robert W. Decker, Geophysics; Agnar Pytte, Physics; Robert H. Russell, Romance Languages and Literatures; Thaddeus Seymour, English; Frank Smallwood '51, Government; Vincent E.

RICHARD EBERHART '26, Professor of English and poet-in-residence, has been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Academy was founded during the Revolutionary period to cultivate arts and sciences in the nation.

Other honors have been bestowed on Professor Eberhart, who returned to campus this fall after a one-term visiting lectureship at the University of Washington, Seattle. He gave the Phi Beta Kappa Poem at Harvard in June and was one of seven men elected to honorary membership in the Harvard chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Another volume of his poetry, Thirty-One Sonnets, was published in June by Eakins Press, New York, and Caedmon Records will release a recording of his poetry this fall.

PROF. Frank Smallwood '51 of the Government Department was named to the board of trustees of the Vermont State Colleges by Governor Philip M. Hoff. The board oversees operation of the four state colleges. Soon after his appointment, in a special report to the board he urged the establishment of a new type of college in the southern section of the state, patterned after a prototype college in western Massachusetts. The faculty of the four existing schools would form the nucleus of the new college's teaching staff.

Professor Smallwood was the commencement speaker at Castleton State College, one of the state colleges. Later in the summer he delivered a paper on "Government Administration and the Political Process" at the Centennial Study and Training Program at York University, Toronto, Canada.

DR. Carleton B. Chapman, Dean of the Medical School, was elected to a three-year term on the council of the Harvard Medical Alumni Association. ... Prof, of Administration, emeritus, Russell R. Larmon '19 has been named to the National Advisory Heart Council. ... Dean Myron Tribus of the Thayer School has been elected a director of the Carpenter Steel Co., Reading, Pa. ... Dr. Robert E. Nye Jr., Associate Professor of Physiology, was named to his second year as chairman of the New Hampshire Heart Association's Research Committee.

JACOB NEUSNER, Associate Professor of Religion, has been appointed Associate Research Editor of the Journal of theAmerican Academy of Religion. ... Prof. James F. Hornig of the Chemistry Department, who is also Associate Dean of the Faculty, attended a University of Rochester conference on methods of making more effective use of graduate students in the teaching of undergraduates. ... John T. Paoletti, Instructor in Art, is chairman of the local committee raising funds for preservation of the art in Florence, Italy damaged by floods last year.

Two Anthropology Department professors headed north this summer to lead field expeditions - one on the east coast of Hudson Bay, the other in central Alaska.

Prof. Elmer Harp Jr., led a ten-week study in the application of advanced air photo technology in arctic archaeology. He and a six-man crew ground-checked interpretation of aerial photographs taken last summer in the area north of Great Whale River, Quebec. He identified and tested archaeological sites revealing ancient settlements of Indians and Eskimos.

The summer expedition was the second stage of a research project which is being supported by the National Science Foundation. Cooperating in the venture is the U.S. Army's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (USA-CRREL) in Hanover.

Prof. Robert A. McKennan '25 continued his study of the culture of the Northern Athapaskan Indians in central Alaska. It covers prehistoric times to the present. The summer work involved excavation of sites that he had previously discovered in the Healy Lake area, combined with reconnaissance into the Yukon-Tanana uplands, especially the upper Healy River and the headwaters of the Fortymile River.

The excavating was conducted by a five-man National Museum of Canada field party. The Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research made a grant for helicopter transport for the reconnaissance work. The Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska also cooperated in the research.
