Brighton, Cliftondale, Dorchester, East Dedham, Framingham Center, and Somerville, Massachusetts are represented by the six Freshman in the award of the Charles Sumner Scholarship (formerly the Charles Sumner Bird Scholarship) and the five Harvard Club of Boston Scholarships just announced by the Club's Committee on Scholarships of which Mr. John C. Rice '98, of Boston and Dedham, is chairman.

These scholarships have a stipend and are for graduates of public high and Latin schools within a radius of twenty miles from the State House. High Scholarship is essential for the award, but the committee considers also character, qualities of leadership, and well-rounded development.

The Sumner Scholarship, offered by Mr. Charles Sumner Bird, of the Harvard Class of 1877, goes this year to John Nordberg, '27 of Dorchester, a graduate of the Boston Public Latin School.

The five recipients of the Harvard Club of Boston Scholarships with the schools from which they graduated are as follows:

Robert Allen, of Cliftondale, Saugus High; Alfred Barber, of Framingham Center, Framingham High; Myer Brody, of East Dedham, Dedham High; John Stenberg, of Brighton, Boston Latin, Charles Engelhardt, of Somerville, Somerville High.

Of the three recipients of these club scholarships in 1920 who graduated from Harvard last June one received his degree Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors), and two, Cum Laude (with honors).
