Four Harvard seniors and a teaching fellow have been awarded Marshall scholarships for two years of study at any of Great Britain's 27 universities.

James M. Hersog, of Quincy House and Lockport, N.Y., will study physiology at the University of Edinburgh. Philip D. Straffin, of Adams House and Scarsdale, N.Y., will do research in mathematics at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
The other Harvard senior is Robert F. Wagner, of Lowell House and New York City, who will study modern history at the University of Sussex.
