The committee will also confer with faculty groups April 7. Expressing a desire to meet the students, the committee, consisting of Dr. Bernice Brown Cronkhite, emeritus graduate dean and vice president of Radcliffe College; Fa ther William J. Dunne, S.J., execu tive secretary of the college and university division of the National Catholic Educational Association; Dr. George Shuster, former presi dent of Hunter College and former editor of Commonweal; Reverend Joseph Sittler, leader in the Prot estant Ecumenical movement; and Professor Marston Morse, profes sor of mathematics from the In stitute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., will actually pre side over classes in their effort to observe the College routine. The background and caliber of these outstanding educators pre sents an extraordinary opportunity and privilege for the entire student body, emphasized Dr. Norbert Hruby, vice president of the Col lege. Mathematics, theology, sociology, English and history comprise the fields of special interest to the board who is anxious to view a cross section of the Mundelein population. These prominent educators may conduct a formal class session or choose points for small talk in order to view student response and opinion. In addition, Dr. Morse has pre pared a special lecture on To pology and Equilibrium for the student body. With these plans in the fore ground, the seven faculty commit tees entered phase two with a con sideration of the general issues of higher education. Before viewing these problems, the study groups will be concerned with two more specific points: the role of woman in the 20th century and the role of the Roman Catholic in the present time. In view of the answers to these questions, the committee hopes to determine what kind of woman as well as Roman Catholic the Munde lein graduate should be. When these facts are ascertained, the faculty will construct a set of realistic goals for the College. In order to gain an objective viewpoint, faculty members have been presented with a bibliography of provocative readings which will give them greater insights into the considerations at hand. Each member of his particular committee will contribute pertinent findings from the material as signed. Co-chairmen will act as seminar leaders for this particular phase of the project. B. Green ing the first year of graduate study. This year the Foundation awarded fellowships to 1,475 and honorable mention to an other 1,154 of the 9,767 stu dents nominated in October by college faculty members in the United States and Canada. Most awards went to the hu manities and social sciences although 309 science students were named among this year's winners. Ford Foundation funds sup port students for one academic year at a United States or Canadian graduate school, granting a living stipend of 1,500 and paying tuition and fees directly to the graduate schools. The two winners fulfilled the basic re quirements for the awards by being students, in a United States college, of outstand ing intellectual promise who were not regis tered in gradu ate school at the time of nomi nation. Fellowship recipients must demonstrate completion at the undergraduate level of a solid foundation for study leading to a doctorate, competence and facility in foreign languages and other subjects required in the pursuit of the chosen dis ciplines, and evidence of ability to write reports and es says on independent work, at the undergraduate level. Sir Hugh Taylor, president of the Wood- row Wilson National Fel lowship Foun dation stressed the importance i of candidates' ability to meet the foreign lan- I guage require- K. Montesano m e n t S O f graduate schools. Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean, commented: Facility in at least one modern language is necessary for all students going on in higher education. Certainly it is inadvisable to wait until graduate school to begin lan guage study.
