Maxon Construction Elects Craig T. Capp the desire to pursue advanced study. The total monetary value of the three graduate scholarships is $12,000. Included in each award is the tuition fee charged plus a liv-ing expense stipend of $2,100. In addition to the above scholar-ships for graduate study, the Society is continuing its program of Undergraduate Scholarship Awards started 11 years ago. This undergraduate plan is now main-tained with scholarship grants at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Michigan, and the University of California, at Berkeley. Under this program it is anticipated that a total of 10 undergraduates will each receive $1,000 during the 1969-1970 academic year. Interested high school and pre-paratory school students should in-quire directly with these three col-leges and not with the Society. The basic objective of the Un-dergraduate Scholarship Program is to encourage new men to enter the maritime industry, particularly in the technical fields of naval ar-chitecture and marine engineering. The Society is again making an annual grant to Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, Glen Cove, New York, to assist in training young men at this specialty school for the maritime industry, thus, in effect, including Webb in the un-dergraduate program. Craig T. Capp The board of directors of Maxon Construction Company, Inc. elect-ed Craig T. Capp a vice-president of the company recently. In addi-tion to his responsibilities as a vice-president of the company, Mr. Capp will continue as general man-ager of the company's Shipbuild-ing-Manufacturing Division located at Tell City, Ind. Mr. Capp joined Maxon in 1965 as sales manager and was made general manager in October, 1968. He has been associated with the inland marine equipment industry for many years. SNAME Awards Three Graduate Scholarships The award of three graduate scholarships for the 1969-1970 aca-demic year has been announced by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, now in its seventy-sixth year of continuous activity. The recipients were select-ed from a total of 16 applicants by the Society's Scholarship Commit-tee, chaired by Frank L. Pavlik and approved at a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Society. The first recipient, who will study naval architecture at the University of Michigan and who is also designated as the Society's "Wilbur N. Landers' Scholar" for 1969, is Richard Clyde Moore, a 22-year-old, who has worked at New-port News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. The recipient of the second award plans advanced study in business administration at the Uni-versity of Chicago. He is Glen Frederick Jurges, employed at Pu-get Sound Naval Shipyard since graduation. The recipient of the third award, who will study naval architecture at the University of California is Lawrence Levy. Named as alternates, in order, were: Leonard Anderson, Eliza-beth Fergus, Tommy L. Richard and Robert C. Kendall. The competition for the scholar-ships was nationwide and open to all who could qualify. The Scholar-ships Committee of the Society carefully studied the merits of each applicant and the winners were selected on the basis of character, leadership and general promise for a future in the marine industry, as well as for scholastic ability and SHIP REPAIR Dependable 24-Hour Service REPAIRS & CONVERSIONS TO ALL TYPES OF FLOATING EQUIPMENT 3 BERTHS at YARD Topside Repairs At Unloading Docks PORTABLE EQUIPMENT FOR COMPLETE REPAIRS BENDER Ship Repair, Inc. 265 S.
