Medical School

Selection of the three outstanding candidates for admission to the Harvard Medical School this fall as recipients of National Scholarships offered by the School under the University's "long-term" scholarship policy was announced during the summer.

The winners are Gaston E. Blom, of Tuckahoe, N.Y., A.B. Colgate University '41 (Edward S. Harkness National Scholarship); William F. Ketchum, of Evanston, Ill., A.B. Harvard '41 (Edward S. Harkness National Scholarship); and Frederick R. Gilmore, of Bloomsburg, Pa., A.B. Lehigh University '41 (Harvard Medical School National Scholarship).
