Six Seniors Named Marshall Scholars For Next Year

Six Harvard seniors have won Marshall Scholarships to study for two years in Great Britain, the British Consulate-General announced yesterday. Harvard had the highest number of recipients, followed by Princeton and Yale, with four each.

The winning students are Daniel A. Braverman '80, Andrew S. Fruchter '80, Matthew M. Guerrairo '80, Michael Pakaluk '79-4, James M. Poterba '80, and Patricia A. Rosenmeyer '80.

Return Marshall Plan

The program, named after U.S. General George C. Marshall, was founded in 1953 as an expression of British appreciation for the help given to Europe under the U.S. Marshall Plan. Thirty scholarships are given annually to cover all costs of attending any British university.

Winners of the scholarship are selected on the basis of scholastic achievements, outside interests and activities, and the capacity to play an active role in the life of the British university they attend.

Easier than Rhodes

"The interview was very well-run and organized," said Rosenmeyer. "They took care to have people in your own field interview you. They were also very friendly, and didn't use shock treatment like the Rhodes committee," she added.

"They asked me some pretty off-the-wall questions like 'Do you have any role models?'," Guerrairo said.

Braverman said, "They wanted to know what I do to have fun."

"Many people try to fit in the mold of the scholarship they are applying for, and I think that the Marshall people were careful to weed out those applicants," Pakaluk said.
