Following the highly successful operations of the new RECON®

The office will also assist in serv- ing Perry's many Houston clients for its manufactured products and engineering services. the selection include scholastic ability, the candidate's capacity to pursue advanced study, ambi- tion, personality and other quali- ties indicative of prospective leadership status in the marine industry. For at least one schol- arship, emphasis will be placed on recent employment of at least five years in the marine field as a fac- tor for selection.

In addition to the Graduate

Program, several undergraduate scholarships of $1,000 each are made available by the Society at

Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, University of Michigan, and State University of New York

Maritime College. Grants-in-Aid are also made available at the

University of California at Berke- ley. Also, Webb Institute of Naval

Architecture provides a tuition- free education to all undergrad- uate students. Recognizing this fact, the Society supports the

Webb program with annual con- tributions, bringing Webb indi- rectly into the scholarship pro- gram.

Those interested should contact the above institutions directly and not the Society, since nominations for Society Undergraduate Funds have been assigned to them. All recipients of undergraduate schol- arships will be subject to the ap- proval of the Scholarships Com- mittee.

Scholarship Committee.

MORE THAN A

TOWBOAT

BEHIND

YOUR BARGES?

If they're Hillman barges, whether liquid, grain, or coal, you also have our craftsmen behind them— people who believe in courtesy, dependability from start to finish, competitive pricing, and quality, not quantity.

Our barges can be either stock design or custom developed in cooperation with you to meet any unique operating requirements. In either case, we'd like to talk with you about the benefits of putting our barges in your tows. • MARINE CONSTRUCTION • REPAIRS
