Seven Henry Folowships will be awarded this year, each tenable for one year at Oxford or Cambridge. Restrictions state that candidates must be unmarried American citizens, while preference will be given to applicants who are College Seniors or who have just started graduate work.
Each candidate must submit evidence of distinction in some recognized branch of learning, and must present definite plan of study to be carried out at Oxford or Cambridge.

Graduates who have been appointed to the Fellowships in recent years are: William W. Foshay '31, David D. Lloyd '31, Garrett Birkhoff '32, Henry C. Hatfield '33, Peter Shuebruk '32, Meyer H. Abrams '34, Cesar L. Barber '35, Thomas H. Hunter '35, George L. Haskins '35, Sidney S. Alexander '36, Robert C. Hall '36, August C, Helmholz, 2nd '36, Neil G. Melone '37, and Peter R. Viereck '37.
