New Group of Junior Members Chosen For Society of Fellows

Six brilliant scholars, three of them graduates of Harvard College, will come to the University next fall as Junior Fellows to continue their studies, free from all financial worry, as a result of their appointment yesterday to the Society of Fellows, the last creation of President emeritus Lowell.

The new Junior Fellows are: Conrad Maynadier Arensberg '31, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; George Caspar Homann '32, of Boston; Harry Tuchman Levin '33, of Minneapolis, Minnesota; David Tressell Griggs, Ohio State University '82, of Chevy Chase, Maryland; George Marvin Hass, of Chariton, Iowa; and Edgar Bright Wilson, Jr., Princeton University '30, of Pasadena, California.

The Society of Fellows, a unique development in American Education, is expected to stimulate "intellectual contagion beyond anything now in this country." The newly elected members will receive free room and board, free use of all University facilities, and a stipend of $1,250, with the chance of reappointment after the first term of three years have expired.

Yesterday's appointments form the second group to be inducted into what President Conant calls the "most interesting development in the history of graduate instruction in the history of Harvard." Last April first, five members were chosen, beginning the plan which calls ultimately for a group not exceeding 24, selected for their promise of notable contribution to knowledge.

President-emeritus Lowell, founder of the Society, is a member of the nominating committee, also known as the Senior Fellows. With him are associated Alfred North Whitehead, professor of philosophy; John Livingston Lowes, Francis Lee Higginson Professor of English Literature; Lawrence Joseph Henderson '98, professor of Biological Chemistry; and Charles Pelham Curtis, Jr. '14, member of the Harvard Corporation. President Conant and Kenneth B. Murdock '16, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, are ranked as members ex-officio.
