28 DETURS AWARDED TO FIRST GROUP SCHOLARS

Books Given Are Bought From Proceeds of Fund Left by Edward Hopkins "to Give Some Encouragement for the Breeding Up of Hopeful Youths"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Twenty-eight men have been awarded Deturs at the College on the basis of last year's academic work. Deturs are books given as prizes to men who for the first time in their College course have achieved a position in the first group of scholars.

Although associated with the award of scholarships, the list of men receiving Deturs was not announced by the College Office at the same time as the scholarship awards, and is now published for the first time.

The prize books are purchased with the income from a fund left by Edward Hopkins, a London merchant, who was several times Governor of Connecticut Colony in the 17th century, and later warden of the fleet under Cromwell. His will expresses his desire "to give some encouragement in those foreign plantations, for the breeding up of hopeful youths, both at the grammar school and college, for the public service of the country in future times."

The list of Detur winners is as follows:
