Six members of the faculty, five of whom are on leave of absence for the duration of the national emergency, are among the 96 scholars and artists who have been awarded $230,000 in fellowships by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

Among those recipients who are now serving in the armed forces are Lieutenant (jg) Robert K. Hall, formerly assistant director of the Commission of English Language Studies here; Edwin Howiti, formerly an instructor in Mathematicis and now working for the Army Air Forces; Lieutenant Barnaby C. Keeney, AUS, a former instructor in History here; and Lieutenant Gordon H. Ray '32, USNR, formerly an instructor in English.

Begin After Discharge

These men will begin work on their Fellowship projects when they are discharged from the armed forces. Also granted a post-service Fellowship was Leo L. Beranek, director of Research on Sound Control and currently engaged in war research here. Otto Benesch, a research fellow at the Fogg Museum of Art, has been awarded his second Guggenheim Fellowship, which goes into effect immediately.

Fellowships of the Guggenheim Foundation, which was established in 1925 by Senator Simon Guggenheim as a memorial to his son, John, are awarded to scholars and creative workers in the arts to assist them in their work of research and artistic creation.
