Buddhist Studies, Limnology, and Old English
The names of 11 recipients of scholarships for graduate study next year have been announced in recent weeks. Six are alumni, four are graduating seniors, and one is a member of the Class of 1975 who will graduate on an accelerated schedule this June.
Gary E. Gipson, a senior from Houston, Texas, has won two nation-wide, highly competitive awards: a Fulbright-Hayes Fellowship for a year of foreign study and a Danforth Fellowship, which will provide tuition and living expenses for up to four years of graduate study preparatory to a career in college teaching.
A history major and a Senior Fellow, Gipson has been devoting his final year at the College to an independent study of "The International Meanings and Functions of Garveyism." After a year of teaching and study in France, he expects to return for graduate work in the United States.
David P. Birdsong, a senior from Mon-ticello, Georgia, and a French major, has also won a Fulbright-Hayes Fellowship. He will spend the year as a teaching assistant in France.
Three students and six recent alumni will be studying in England, Canada, Finland and Sweden on scholarships established through a bequest of the late James B. Reynolds of the Class of 1890, which provide a basic stipend of about $3,000.
