Three prize scholarship awards, two for Seniors and one for a member of the class of 1931, were announced at University Hall yesterday. W. B.

Y., receives the Charles J. Bonaparte Scholarship for the Senior having the highest academic standing in the field of Government. Sturtevant Burr '31, of Brookline, Massachusetts, a member of the first year class in the Law School, is awarded the Endicott Peabody Saltonstall Prize which goes to an outstanding Senior entering the Harvard Law School.

The scholarship was established in memory of Francis H. Burr '09, by his friends. It is awarded to that undergraduate "who combines as nearly as possible Burr's remarkable qualities." The recipient is selected in the middle of his third year by the Dean of the College and the Chairman of the Athletic Committee, and receives the gift in his fourth year.

Popper, winner of the Bonaparte Scholarship, prepared at White Plains High School. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, having been elected in the Junior Eight. He is president of the Liberal Club and vice-president of the New England Model League of Nations Assembly. The preference in the award of this scholarship is given to "students who have demonstrated an interest in the study of American government and who give promise of helping in after life to promote higher standards in government and citizenship."
