Miss Urda I. Traenkle, a 24-year-old technician killed last January by an explosion at Harvard's Thorndike Lab in Boston City Hospital, has been commemorated by a scholarship fund in the Faculty of Medicine.
The National Scholarships at the Medical School, awarded to incoming members of the first year class who show outstanding ability and promise but who could otherwise not receive a medical education, in the past have been awarded mostly to men. Preference now will be given to women students at the Medical School.
The name of the "Medical School Scholarship Fund," established in 1937, will be changed to the "Urda Traenkle National Scholarship Fund."
Miss Traenkle had come to the United States in 1949 from Braunschweig, Germany. Born in Ludwigsburg, she was the daughter of Professor and Mrs. C. A. Traenkle of Munich.
