While Columbia, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania received the benefit of the Tyndall fund, Columbia has been the first to take active steps in putting it to use. Her trustees have recently drawn up a series of regulations in regard to the John Tyndall Fellowship. The Fellow who is to be appointed on the recommendation of the president and the professors in the Scientific Department, must pursue a course of study and research in experimental physics for the term of one year. The first incumbent is Michael Pussin, who graduated at Columbia in 1883 with honors.
