University Names Fellowship Board

Jonathan Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, and John B. Oakes of the New York Times editorial board will be the new members on the committee for the selection of Nieman Fellows for 1955-56, the University announced yesterday.

The two newspapermen will join three University members of the committee in selecting journalists to receive the 18th annual Nieman Fellowships next year. Each year approximately 12 journalists receive the fellowships, which permit them to study courses of their choice at the University.

A legacy established by Agnes Wahl Nieman, widow of Lucius W. Nieman, who founded the Milwaukee Journal, supports the awards.

The University members of the Committee are Arthur E. Sutherland L '25, professor of Law, Louis M. Lyons, Curator of the Nieman Fellowships, and William M. Pinkerton, Director of the University News Office, a Nieman Follow in 1940-41.
