Forty members of the Class of 2005 pursued research projects overseas with support from Yale College Summer Traveling Fellowships. The Yale Summer Traveling Fellowships Committee oversees the awards, which are made possible through the income of a fund endowed in the memory of Robert C. Bates, one-time fellow of Jonathan Edwards College and member of the Yale faculty, as well as seven additional funds: the Hilgendorf Fellowship, in memory of William Hilgendorf, Jr. '67; the Wagster Fellowship, a memorial to Rhea Plunkett Wagster; the Kilborne Traveling Fellowship, in memory of Robert Stewart Kilborne, for travel to England and studies in the arts, history, or literature; the Lewis P. Curtis Fellowship, in memory of Lewis P. Curtis, for studies in the fields of history, philosophy, the arts, and letters; the David W. Baer Memorial Fellowship, for architecture or design; the John Boit Morse Memorial Fellowship, for a traveling fellowship to an art student; and the Tetelman Fellowship, in memory of Alan S. Tetelman '58. All juniors in Yale College were eligible to compete for the fellowships, and the winners were selected from 144 applicants. The average fellowship amount was $3,275, depending on travel cost and length of stay. In most cases, the experience the students gained abroad will contribute to completion of their senior essays or other individual research projects.
