Fulbright Awards Given to Two
Fulbright awards for overseas study and teaching have been announced by the U.S.State Department for a student and teacher at the University. The awards are for the 1955-56 year.
Dr. Robert W. Baxter, associate professor and chairman of the department of botany, will lecture at the University College of the West Indies, at Mona, Ft. Andrew, in Jamaica, British West Indies. Dr. Baxter also will collect and study the cynodes and primitive ferns in Mexico and Central America, a phase of research in which he has long been interested.
Flizabeth Deibert, college senior, will hold a Fulbright scholarship to study French literature at the University of Poitiers in France.
The award to Miss Deibert is one of 247 for study in France next year. The grant to Dr. Baxter includes travel and a teaching stipend and is one of approximately 400 to teachers for lecturing and research abroad.
The faculty Fulbright fellowship is the sixth given a KU teacher this spring, an all-time high.
