About 600 students will receive a year of study abroad from the U.S. government this year under the Fulbright Act. Assistant Dean Wallace McDonald '44, told a Student Council forum on Rhodes Scholarships and other opportunities for foreign study last night.
McDonald spoke at the Lamont Forum Room meeting following Mason Hammond '25, Professor of History, who talked on Rhodes Scholarship opportunities and requirements, and Dean Bender, who presented information on Henry Fellowships and special awards for Harvard graduates.
