Expression of Gratitude Two North Staters—Charlot- teans Graham T. Allison, Jr. and William H. WelLford—^were the 143rd and 144th Americans to re ceive Marshall Scholarships from the British government. Much has been aired about those countries that have receiv ed Marshall Plan aid simply tak ing this for granted. It is good to note, therefore, that the British government chooses a gracious and practical way of expressing gratitude for assistance received imder the U. S. Marshall Plan—by the yearly awarding of scholarships to American students. The Marshall Scholarships, are equivalent to Rhodes Scholar^ ships except that the student is given his choice of English uni versities. RAZGDK’S INC.
