Stephen M. Jennings '83 of Burlington, Vt., will be off to Oxford University after graduation as a Marshall Scholar, the 19th Dartmouth student to receive this soughtafter award since it was established 30 years ago by the British government. A classmate also going to Oxford under different auspices is John Fanestil, who earlier was named a Rhodes Scholar.

Jennings is one of 30 Americans under the age of 25 chosen to study in the United Kingdom for two or three years under the program instituted by the British govern- ment to honor the late General George C. Marshall, who as U.S. Secretary of State proposed and gave reality to the Marshall Plan, cornerstone of Europe's postwar recovery.

Jennings had been accepted at a number of this country's leading law schools, but the study of law will be postponed until he completes his Oxford studies. An economics major, he has an exceptional all-A academic record and has been cited for outstanding work in government and mathematics as well as his major field.
