FELLOWSHIPS FOR STUDY IN BELGIUM OFFERED

The Educational Foundation of the Commission for Relief in Belgium has announced that a limited number of American graduate fellowships for study in Belgium during the academic year 1922-23 will be awarded by May 15, 1922.

These fellowships were established to commemorate the work of the Commission for Relief in Belgium during the war and to promote closer relations and the exchange of intellectual ideas between Belgium and America.

Men at the University who wish to be candidates for these fellowships may secure application blanks and further information at Dean Briggs's office, 10 University Hall. Applications must be received by Perrin C. Galpin, Secretary, C. R. B. Educational Foundation, 42 Broadway, New York City, on or before May 1.

The arrangements for the selection of Belgian Fellows have been changed this year. Last year the University and four other universities each nominated two candidates, and nomination insured selection by the C. R. B. Educational Foundation. This year the selection will be entirely in the hands of the Foundation, although it is said that recommendations from these universities will be desirable. Not more than eight fellowships in all will be awarded for 1922-23.

Stipulations for Eligibility

A candidate for a fellowship, to be eligible,

(1) Must be an American citizen.

(2) Must have a thorough speaking and reading knowledge of French;

(3) Must be a graduate, at time of application or before September, 1922, of a college or professional school of recognized standing in the United States. (If a member of the faculty of a college or university, the candidate must hold a grade below that of associate professor);

(4) Must have definite plans for his proposed study in Belgium.

Preference in selection is given to those applicants who intend to take up teaching or research as a profession.

Each fellowship for the year 1922-23 carries a stipend of 12,000 francs, plus tuition fees, payable in Belgium, and first class travelling expenses from the residence or university of the holder in the United States to and from the university in Belgium. The fellowships are open on equal terms to men and women. The fellowships are tenable for one year.

Fellowships may be held in any one of the following subjects:

Bacteriology, Botany, Civil Engineering, Egyptology, Electricity, French Literature, Geology, Greek Literature, History, International Law, Mathematics, Medicine, Mediaeval Philosophy, Mining Engineering, Morphology, Organic Chemistry, Paleography, Philosophy, Physiology, Psychology, Surgery, Zoology.

American Fellows will be required to report in Brussels by October 1. 1922, and to reside in Belgium for at least eight months. Fellows may choose the Belgian university or technical school which they wish to attend, but, in general, such choice will be indicated by their subject of study so that they may obtain the maximum benefit from the available opportunities. In special cases fellows may enroll at more than one university.

The Foundation reserves the right to withdraw a fellowship and terminate payments in case of conduct that is, in the opinion of the Foundation or its representatives, prejudicial to the interests of the Foundation.
