NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

About 600 students will receive a year of study abroad from the U.S. government this year under the Fulbright Act. Assistant Dean Wallace McDonald '44, told a Student Council forum on Rhodes Scholarships and other opportunities for foreign study last night.

McDonald spoke at the Lamont Forum Room meeting following Mason Hammond '25, Professor of History, who talked on Rhodes Scholarship opportunities and requirements, and Dean Bender, who presented information on Henry Fellowships and special awards for Harvard graduates.

Adequate Stipend

The Fulbright scholarships, which are being given for the second year, provide "adequate' stipend for one year of study in a foreign country. Students who will have a bachelors degree by June are eligible and should see McDonald.

Professor Hammond reminisced about his own days as a Rhodes Scholar and then told about the 32 awards available each year providing American students with approximately two years at Oxford.
