The Society of Fellows, the last academic innovation of President-emeritus Lowell, is a group of young men of promise, chosen by the Senior Fellows among whom is President Conant, who devote themselves to productive scholarship, completely free from academic regulation or degree requirements. They have all privileges of instruction in the University, receive free use of any library or laboratory, are given free room and board in the Houses, and an annual stipend of $1,250.
