The E. I. duPont Company yesterday announced a $30,000 grant to the University for graduate education fellowships and chemistry research. The gift was part of $900,000 distributed to more than 100 of the nation's colleges and universities.
Dean Francis Keppel '88 of the Graduate School of Education, called the grant "a very fine thing" and said that he hoped "it will start something which other companies will follow."
The grant will establish 20 summer fellowships and two academic fellowships for 1956-57 for the completion of master's degrees in education.
The other half of the grant will be used for expansion of unrestricted research in chemistry and to stimulate advanced work in the field. This was the largest single grant and was given to only ten other colleges.
