...committee in each state, representing the Foreign Service, education, and the public, to choose the scholarship holders, as a minority of the Wriston Committee suggested. Although the Wriston plan would award the grants only to students entering the junior year in college, qualified seniors as well might receive one-year grants. And if a State Department agency is to advise the scholarship holders on their course program, as the Committee suggests, that supervision should be mild enough to allow these students to gain the full educational benefits of their college years. Flexibility should be the keynote of the system...
Cold Cold War. The Argentine flotilla set out from Buenos Aires in mid-December to carry supplies and men to Argentina's eight permanent antarctic outposts, and to bring back the men whose one-year tours of polar duty were done. On the shore of a bay at 78° south, 39° west, the expedition built a ninth year-round outpost-a weather station-and left 20 men to staff it. Buenos Aires claimed that it was the southernmost permanent base in the antarctic...
Williams and Dillenberger both emphasized that the change is unique in requiring at least three years of graduate work from women as well as men. Special shorter programs may be instituted later after careful consideration. Dillenberger said. "We want to avoid an influx of one-year students that might lower standards," he added...
...this situation which prompted such organizations as the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Program and the National Science Foundation to offer lucrative grants for graduate study. Yet educators are coming to realize that one-year grants are not enough. The avowed purpose of the Wilson grants is to attract into graduate study students who would otherwise not have chosen it. But for the undergraduate who looks ahead, one year of security means very little. The result is that these grants attract few applicants who had not already planned on entering the academic profession and accepting the protracted hardships that often...
...solve these two problems. Continued pressure on state legislatures and funds given to raise the endowments of private colleges are the only steps that will raise the overall scale of faculty salaries. For the immediate problems of the graduate student, possibly extended smaller grants, instead of the large one-year fellowships, might be more effective. Another possible partial solution is a system of loans given by the foundations which can grant longer terms and take greater risks than the universities with their limited resources...
