Student, Faculty
Receive Grants

A fourth-year student has been named
to receive a Danforth Foundation
fellowship for graduate study, and two
faculty members have been awarded
fellowships by the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation for research support.

Kim J. Hopper, a major in religious
studies, is one of 107 students in the
nation to be awarded one of the Danforth
fellowships, which provide tuition and living
expenses for up to four years of study for the
Ph.D. degree.

Carl Trindle, Assistant Professor of
Chemistry, and Julian V. Noble, who is
currently at the University of Pennsylvania and
who will join the faculty of the Physics
Department here in the fall, were selected for
the Sloan Fellowships by their senior colleagues
on the basis of research potential.

The Sloan Fellowships are designed to assist
scientists in the early stages of their careers,
when governmental research support is difficult
to obtain.

Mr. Trindle and Mr. Noble are among 77
recipients of the fellowships. Each Sloan Fellow
will receive approximately $8,750 a year over a
two-year period.
