The Charles Joseph Bonaparte Scholarship, one of the most sought after awards among the 500 which the College annually makes to undergraduates, has been given for the year of 1929-30 to Frederick Mundell Watkins '30 of Providence, Rhode Island. The award last year was won by Thomas Arnold McGovern '29 of Schenectady, New York, who also was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship-at-large during his Senior year.
Watkins, who prepared at Moses Brown School, was a member of the University Glee Club during his Freshman year and also on the Art Board of the Red Book. His scholastic average was particularly high among the records of students in the department of Government, from which the selection is made.

The Charles Joseph Bonaparte Scholarship is given annually by Mrs. Ellen C. Bonaparte. The preference in choosing the student to whom the award is to be made is given to students who have demonstrated an interest in the study of American government, and who give promise of helping in after life to promote higher standards in government and citizenship. The scholarship is awarded at the end of the Junior year to that member of the class concentrating in the department of Government who without regard to financial need, has the highest academic standing in that subject.
