EIGHT GRADUATES FROM HARVARD GET GUGGENHEIM FUNDS

Among the 57 applicants to join the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowships, eight professors who have received degrees from Harvard University were awarded stipenda averaging $2500 to carry on research work, H. A. Moc, secretary for the Foundation announced yesterday. The grants, which are available to assist research in any field of knowledge or creative work in any of the fine arts, are usually made to young scholars who have done distinguished original study.

Dr. Fulmer Mood '21, instructor in History here and at Radcliffe, has been granted a fellowship to pursue his work in the history of American Colonial ideas. His particular interest lies in the tracts and booklets published between 1578 and 1660, which resulted in the investment of English capital, and the settlement of the Atlantic seaboard.

Dr. Isaac Goldberg '10, author of such popular books as "Havelock Ellis," "The Story of Gilbert and Sullivan," "The Fine Art of Livisng," "Tin Pan Alley," and "George Gershwin: A Study in American Music," has been awarded the grant to carry forward the preparation of a history of the modern literature of Spanish and Portuguese America.

Dr. Ivan Murray Johnston, who took his Ph.D. in 1925, is a research associate at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. The problem of the dispersal of plants in the Western Hemisphere, and the manner in which plants in the western United States were transferred to Central America will occupy Dr. Johnston's time during the year that the Fellowship covers.

Dr. Earl Morse Wilbur '90, president of the Pacific Unitarian School for the Ministry, will study in European libraries and archieves for materials for a compreshensive history of the Socinian-Unitarian movement, as a step in the direction of freedom, reason, and tolerance in religion.

Dr. William Theodore Richards '21, an assistant professor of Chemistry at Princeton, will do research in Eruopean laboratories on the application of the method of statistics and quantum mechanics to surface phenomena.

Voltaire's biography will be the subject that Dr. Norman Lewis Torrey '15, now assistant professor of French at Yale, intends to work on during the period. He will also do research in the Public Library at Leningrad.

Dr. F. S. C. Northrop, who secured his doctorate from Harvard in 1924 will use his fellowship to consult with European schoars in order to determine the nature of mathematical and logical form. His "Science and First Principles", published last year, is a review of the current conceptions of the nature of mathematical and formal logic. Dr. Northrop is associate professor of Philosophy at Yale.

In the library of the Vatican, Professor Levi Arnold Post, will collect material for a study of the text tradition of Plato's Laws. In 1912 Professor Post received his master's degree from Harvard, and is now associate professor of Greek at Haverford.

Yesterday's awards bring the total number that the Foundation has given opportunities for research to since its establishment in 1925 to 417. Such scholars and authors as Lewis Mumford, Owen Lattimore, and Dr. Robert S. Millikan were also recipients
