Six students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences yesterday were named recipients of Fulbright awards for 1953-1954 by the Educational Exchange Service of the Department of State.

The students are: Stephen M. Cohen 2G of Conant Hall and Long Beach, N.Y., to study at Magdalen College, Oxford University; Edward I. Fry 3G of 401 Broadway, Cambridge, and Conroe, Tex., to study at Auckland University College, New Zealand; and Clarence W. Kerr of 15 Mt. Auburn St. and Glendale Calif., to study at Warburg Institute, London University.

Others named are Robert M. O'Clair 4G of Kirkland house and Cambridge, to study at Birkbeck College, London University; Burton E. Pike 1G of Perkins Hall and Newton Center, to study at the University of Strasbourg; and Andrew J. Posey, Jr. 2G of 4 Greenough Ave. and Yonkers, N.Y., to study at Tokyo University.

Others Being Considered

Reginald H. Phelps, chairman of the Harvard Fulbright Committee, said he expects it will be some time before other students who were notified that they were being considered will receive final word about the outcome of their applications.

Fulbright grants cover the cost of a year's study at a foreign university, transportation, books, and living expenses. Last week, eight seniors in the College were named as winners of Fulbright grants.
