Announce
Scholarships
Two new types of scholarships
and an alteration of a third type
were announced by the Board of
Trustees at their meeting May 5.
The first of these is a full tui
tion scholarship for children of any
full-time teaching members of the
faculty. The student must be a
candidate for a degree at Salem.
The scholarship does not cover
fees of special types such as music
fees.
There will be two free tuition
.scholarships for foreign students
in honor of Mrs. Hattie M. Strong
for whom the Strong Fund for
National and International Under
standing has been named.
The conditions of the freshmen
competitive scholarships have been
altered. These have been changed
from $400 to a total value of $1,000
for four years. Thus the student
will receive $200 for each of her
last three years at Salem.
It was also announced that the
1949-50 Y. W. C. A. Cabinet con
tributed $150 for scholarship aid
for next year to go to a qualified
and needy student.
The Trustees drew up a tentative
budget for 1950-51 subject to re
vision.

to a score thirty-two points above
average in the Fine Arts section.
The three who rated Superior in
various fields were Sue Lindsey in
Fine Arts and also in Literature,
Jane Parker in Mathematics, and
Betty Parks in Fine Arts. The
most Above Average scores were
made in the Literature section by
Jane Watson, Betty Parks, Betsy
Farmer, Kitty Burrus, Nina Gray,
Dottie Wilson, Lisa Munk, Carol
Stortz, Ann Post, and Sally Senter;
Betsy Farmer, Dottie Woods, Mari
anne Holman, Jane Watson, Nina

Stortz in Fine Arts; Lisa Munk,
Marianne Holman, Betty Parks,
Nina Gray, and Carol Stortz in
Contemporary Literature and Fine

dies; Betsy Farmer, Emily War
den, Dee Allen, and Alice Blake
Dobson in Mathematics; Betsy
Farmer and Mary Campbell Criag
in Current Social Problems; and
Betsy Farmer in Contemporary
Science and Medicine. Of the top

Cultural section, Betsy Farmer
rated Superior and Kitty Burrus^
Betty Parks, Sue Lindsey, and
Alice Blake Dobson rated Above
Average. Betsy Farmer and Lisa
Munk surpassed the national aver
age in the Contemporary Affairs
section.
Results of the tests indicate that
Salem’s weakest point is the under
standing of recent developments
and the ability to make sound and
critical observations about them.
The college is to be commended,
however, on its fine showing in the
General Culture section of the test.
