Y.— A $4,000 Fellowship for the first year of graduate study at Cornell University will be awarded this spring to some outstanding young ' man from one of America’s col leges or universities. It is the Hannibal C. Ford fellowship and is open to American citizens of sound character and of scholastic standing and initiative. The Fellowship has been estab lished by the Ford Instrument Co. to provide an annual fund to en able an outstanding graduate from an engineering college to pursue full-time study in mechanical, en gineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics, or mechanics and materials to proceed toward a higher degree. The $4,000 Fellow ship will pay the university ex penses for tuition, fees and simi- Ike Urges GOP’s ‘Keep US Strong’ By The Associated Press WASHINGTON—President Ei senhower urged the incoming Ken nedy administration Wesdesday to keep America “strong and firm and yet conciliatory” in meeting the global challenge of commun ism. The retiring president, in an amiable mood, closed out his White House news conferences with a wide-ranging discussion of domestic and foreign problems. It was his 193rd meeting with re porters as president and 305 news men turned out. Thursday, Eisenhower will con fer with President-elect John F. Kennedy to wrap up final details of the transition from the old Re publican to the new Democratic administration. On Friday he will go out of office when Kennedy takes the presidential oath at' noon. To smooth the way for future transitions, Eisenhower Wednes day suggested a constitutional amendment advancing the time of presidential elections and inaugu rations. He said the new chief executive should have 80 days in which to organize his administra tion before he starts dealing with Congress. In his farewell appearance in the ornate Indian Treaty Room at the old State Department Building next to the White House, Eisen hower was nostalgic, reflective and wryly humorous. He was also solemnly authorita tive in outlining Vhat he regards as Kennedy’s gravest problem, his own greatest achievement, and his biggest disappointment in eight years in the presidency. lar cost and give the recipient a cash stipend of $2,500. He will have complete freedom of investigation into any branch of these fields of study in the Graduate School of Cornell. It is hoped by this Fellowship to en courage, in the first year of study at graduate level, talents and abil ities in original scientific work so well exemplified by Hannibal C. Ford, Cornell, 1903, inventor, sci entist, designer and electro-me chanical genius, one of the nation’s pioneers in the development of ordnance and navigational con trols and computers, and founder of the company which bears his name. Ford Instrument Co., Division of Sperry Rand Corp., which set up the Hannibal C. Ford Fellow ship in 1953, is one of the fore most companies in missile guid ance, digital and analog computers, electronics, thermoionics and sim ilar work in aerospace and other government activities. Winners of the Fellowship are not obligated in any way to work for the com pany. Previous winners of the Hanni bal C. Ford Fellowship were grad uates from Rutgers, Brown, Pur due and Cornell Universities and the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. Applicants for the Fellowship should write to the Dean of the Graduate School, Cor nell University, Ithaca, N. Y., for application forms and full instruc tions as to what information the University requires concerning their qualifications.

Where the Art of Cooking is not Lost INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS Foi First Grades Give Best Indications. and specializations compltitjlLjiJi another. This team is re? for the total acadeM j( p orty Special To The Battalion Madison, Wis.—A university stu dent’s first semester grades give a better indication of his ultimate success than either his high school rank or his score on an examina tion. That’s a tentative finding of a study of grades of former col lege students being made by F. Chandler Young, assistant dean of the College of Letters and Science at the University of Wisconsin. The first phase of a long term research effort, the study describes the scholastic progress made by 4,000 new freshmen who entered the University in September of 1950 and 1951. Dean Young cau tions that the conclusions “have not as yet been rigidly tested.” “The student’s record after he gets to college tells a much better story than pre-college data,” he explained. Using College of Let ters and Science men as an exam ple, Dean Young said that the 305 who earned a “B” average in the first semester progressed better than the 305 ranked in the top 10 per cent of their high school grad uating class and better than the 305 who scored in the top quarter on the American Council Psycho logical Examination. “Among the most promising stu dents at the end of the sophomore year, 90 per cent of the 305 who made a ‘B’ average the first se mester were present and 70 per cent were earning ‘B’; for the 305 selected on the basis of high school rank, 83 per cent were present and 60 per cent were earning ‘B’; for the 305 selected by the ACE score, 78 per cent were present and 58 per cent were earning ‘B’.” “Similar results were found for the least promising students,” he added. Dean Young suggests that a student does not need a whole year after high school to become accustomed to university life. While the finding held true for both men and women, there were differences in their progress. “Men persist longer than women,” he said. Some 44 per cent of the men completed eight semesters and on ly 35 per cent of the women fin ished eight consecutive semesters. But, more women than men earned “B” grades. “An understanding of the prog ress of former students will help our understanding of the most like ly progress of currently enrolled students,” Dean Young said. “Three somewhat unique charac teristics of this study set it off from many other prediction stud ies,” he said. One is the focus on college grades rather than the high school record or test score. An other is the concept of scholastic progress, which includes both achievement and persistence — or the number of semesters completed without leaving college. A third characteristic is the development of meaningful progress patterns. ★ ★ ★ Claremont, Calif. — A vitalizing, new concept in teaching, which may well amount to a revolution in education, is being pioneered in Southern California. This is the Claremont Teaching Team Pro gram conceived and implemented by the Claremont Graduate School. Its purpose, as defined by the originators of the program, is to “improve the teaching and coun seling and the use of the time and talents of teachers.” Actaully it goes much further than that—ex ploring American teaching in all its aspects, with a view to tighten ing, expanding, accelerating, deep ening the entire educational proc ess in elementary and secondary schools. Teaching teams consist of teach ers in the participating schools, who carry out the program under the directiort and supervision of the graduate school education faculty, being responsible to school and district personnel for adherence to policies. Basically, a teaching team is an instructional unit within a school. Whether in the elementary or secondary school, it is marked by five general characteristics. One, it works with a distinct group of team students. Two, its faculty team consists of four to six teachers whose talents and much of the counselk g v team students, usually:^ geas( years.
