Woodrow Wilson Fellows

Seven Dartmouth seniors are among the more than a thousand future college teachers from the United States and Canada who have been elected winners in the annual Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship competition. The 1970 designates from Dartmouth with their major fields of study are: Frans R. Bax of Fort Wayne, Ind., political science; Michael J. Gorr of Ipswich, Mass., philosophy; Craig A. Joyce of Tempe, Ariz., history; David E. Kelley of Wallingford, Pa., East Asian studies; Robert B. Lumbert of Burlington, Mass., mathematics; Stephen E. Stonefield of Rockford, Ill., Chinese history; and David N. Strohm of Elgin, Ill., political science.

The Wilson Foundation's selection committees picked the designates as "the most intellectually promising" 1970 graduates planning careers as college teachers, Foundation president Hans Rosenhaupt explained. "Taking scholarly excellence for granted in our nominees, we look further for those human qualities that make good, even great, teachers."

A list of designates will be sent to all graduate school deans with the recommendation that the schools provide winners with graduate fellowships. In the past years, a majority of Wilson Designates secured grants from their chosen graduate schools, but 150 Woodrow Wilson fellowships are reserved for any who fail to receive funds from schools of their choice.

The names of the students who received honorable mention, including six from Dartmouth, will also be circulated among the graduate deans. Runners-up from Dartmouth are: Ignacio J. Barroso of New York City, drama; Geoffrey N. Gilbert of San Francisco, Calif., economics; Robert M. Groves of New Orleans, La., sociology; John S. Meny of Dallas, Tex., comparative literature; Robert S. Rudney of Washington, D. C., history; and George W. Wen of Pullman, Wash., English.
