Annual Memorial Fellowship Won
By Graduate Business Student

A second-year student in the
University Graduate School of
Business Administration, James H.
Perkins Jr., has received the
school's major fellowship for 1968.

The Samuel Forrest Hyde
Memorial Fellowship carries a
stipend of $3,000.00 this year. The
annual award is provided by the
income from a fund set up as a
memorial to Samuel Forrest Hyde,
an alumnus who was killed in the
Korean War. Mr. Hyde was in the
Air Force and graduated from The
University in 1950.

Given by the graduate business
faculty; the award, the only one of
its kind, is presented to the student
"who has successfully completed
his first year at the University
Graduate School of Business
Administration and who, of this
group, has done most to
demonstrate the academic and
leadership qualities which best
typify the objectives of the
school."

'The faculty try to pick' the
student who has contributed most
to the school during the year, the
student's personality and devotion
to the school's objectives and who
shows great promise of a career.

Mr. Perkins, a 1958 graduate of
Harvard College, served with the
U.S. Navy from 1959-1962 as a
lieutenant junior grade. After four
and one-half years of working, Mr.
Perkins decided he needed more
business training and enrolled in
The University.
