BELGIAN FELLOWS ARE APPOINTED

Two University Men Among 24 Chosen to Study in Belgium Next Year

Two members of the University, Charles Andrew Rupp Jr. 2G. of Salem and Kenneth Waldie Webb 2G. of Germantown, Pa., have been appointed by the Commission for Relief in Belgium Educational Foundation as two of the 24 exchange graduate fellows from American universities who will attend Belgian institutions of learning next year. Each fellowship for the year 1921-22 carries a stipend of 12,000 francs, in addition to tuition fees and first class travelling expenses from the residence or university of the holder in America to and from the university in Belgium.

Mr. Rupp has been an instructor in mathematics at the University for the past two years, having received the degree of A.B. in 1919. He first entered the University in 1915, but left to join the army in 1918. He was assigned to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland where he conducted mathematical investigations and computations in connection with gunnery experiments.

Mr. Webb graduated from Haverford College in 1914 with Phi Beta Kappa honors, receiving an M.A. degree from the University in 1920. He plans to study European business organization at the University of Brussels. The other three Belgian universities at which the American students may study are those of Ghent, Liege and Louvain.
