Fifteen Seniors Granted Fellowships Funding Travel and Study Abroad

Fifteen Harvard seniors have been awarded fellowships that will enable them to travel or study in a foreign country next year.

Winners of the Sheldon, Shaw, or Knox fellowships, they were selected by a Faculty committee that had requested the Houses and departments to recommend candidates.

The Frederick Sheldon and Henry Russell Shaw fellowships each provide their four winners with $3200 to supplement their education through foreign travel.

The winners of the Shaw are: Charles H. Curl of Leverett and Virginia Beach. Va. (Government): Francis P. Glosser, of Kirkland and Bucyrus, Ohio (English): Woody N. Peterson, of Leverett and Canton, Ohio (English): and Spence Porter of Winthrop and Bronx, N. Y. (Applied Math).

Sheldon Winners

Those awarded the Sheldon are: Christopher Fanta, of Lowell and Brooklyn, N. Y. (English); Steven Kelman, of Adams and Great Neck, N. Y. (Social Studies); Albert B. Masters, of Dunster and Norfolk, Va. (English); and Edward McGaffigan Jr. of Winthrop and Roslindale (Physics).

"I can't possibly imagine what it's going to be like," Glosser said last night. "I just want to do dull, ordinary things like go to Europe. I'm going to write poetry all the time; travelling is just a pretext."

The eight Frank Knox Memorial Fellowships-established in memory of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Secretary of the Navy-are not so open-ended. They provide for a year's study in a university in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada.

The recipients of the Knox Fellowships are: John W. Curtis, of Lowell and Ft. Meade. Md. (History and Literature); Logan D. Delany, of Eliot and New York City (Economics): Richard A. Frank, of Quincy and Flushing. N. Y. (Biochemical Sciences): Alan Geismer. of Lowell and Shaker Heights, Ohio (English).

Other winners are: Clarence Y. H. Lo, of Eliot and Philadelphia (Social Studies); Roger H. Mathews, of Leverett and Greensboro, N. C. (Chemistry and Physics); Robert E. Mintz, of Leverett and Burbank, Calif. (Social Studies); and Angel M. Rabasa, of Dunster and Miami, Fla. (History).

Three graduate students have been awarded $700 each for winning the Bowdoin Prizes for essays in the English language. They are: Stephen E. Born-stein. Alan F. Balch, and Michael Schudson.
