Annapolis, Maryland, November 18, 1928--Largely through the influence of Dean R. E. Bacon, formerly assistant dean at Harvard, three seniors at St. John's College next year will be given "Complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in whatever manner and direction they choose".
The three men, selected on a basis of versatility, character, and scholarship, will be exempt from all class requirements, examinations and fees. The awards will be made in June on a basis of the applicants' "interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in intellectual life".
