Churchill Scholarship
Fourteen NSF Grants,
Awarded To Students

Fourth-year mathematics major
Douglas Lind is one of ten
American college students to win
a Churchill Scholarship for study
next year at Cambridge University
in England.

This is the fourth major honor
Lind has received in less than
a month. The 21-year-old graduate
of George Mason High
School in Falls Church was
selected as one of the University's
ten Woodrow Wilson Fellows in
February and this month was
named a National Science
Foundation Fellow and received
an honorable mention in the William
Lowell Putnam National
mathematical competition.

Lind is a member of Phi Beta
Kappa and held intermediate honors
at the University.

In addition to Mr. Lind's
award, thirteen students at the
University have been awarded
graduate fellowships by the National
Science Foundation. The
University placed third among
institutions in the South whose
students received the grants for
the 1968-69 session.

Among the recipients at the
University are six students who
are in their second or third year
of graduate work here and six
fourth-year men who will begin
graduate work at other institutions
next fall.

Fellowship winners who will
continue at the University are:
Keith R. Allen of Fredericksburg,
Va., mathematics and
topology; David E. Cooper of
Washington, D. C., analytical
mathematics; David A. Franz of
Charlottesville, inorganic chemistry;
Edward C. Hook of Washington,
D. C., mathematics and
topology; Russell J. Rowlett III
of Richmond, mathematics and
topology; and Mrs. Lynn S.
Schulz of Clementon, N. J., psychology.

University students receiving
the fellowships but planning to
attend other institutions are:
Thomas J. Burns of Kenilworth,
N. J., nuclear engineering, University
of New Mexico; Blas
Cabrera of Charlottesville,
physics, with emphasis on thermodynamics,
Stanford University;
Jolin S. Carson II of Wakefield,
Va., mathematics and algebra,
University of California at Berkeley;
Hyman A. Greenbaum of
Newport News, Va., analytical
mathematics, Harvard University;
William H. Joyner Jr. of
Charlottesville, computer mathematics.
Carnegie-Mellon University;
and Douglas A. Lind of
Falls Church, Va., mathematics
and algebra, Yale University.

An NSF post-doctoral fellowship,
one of 120 awarded, was
won by Adam B. Ritchie Jr. of
Charlottesville, a third-year student
in chemistry. In having 13
NSF winners this year, the University
ranked behind Rice University
(24) and the University
of Texas (21) among institutions
in the South.

Another University student was
selected as an alternate to the 10
Churchill Scholarship winners.
He is Blas Cabrera of Charlottesville,
a fourth-year physics major,
who also has been named a
1968 Woodrow Wilson Fellow
and National Science Foundation
Fellow.
