Francis J. Loftus, 1915, is First to Be
 Awarded Yale Prize.

New Haven. June 5.-The first re- cipient of the James J. Hogan schol- arship, the income from a $5,0O0 fund, was announced last night by the committee in charge of the scholar ship, consisting of Dean Jones. Ed win Rogers Embree and a graduate and undergraduate member of the Winthrop Trust Association, in the person of Francis Joseph Loftus, 1915, of Scranton, Pa. Loftus is the first holder of the scholarship established about a year ago in memory of Hogan by the members of Delta Kappa Epsi- lon fraternity, of which Hogan was a member. The money was collected from friends and admirers and class mates of Hogan, 1905, one of the most popular men ever graduated from Yale. The scholarship is to be awarded yearly to a member of the freshman class who, in the opinion of the committee, possesses the qualities which made Hogan so loved among his associates. and who, like Hogan, is self-supporting at the university. The income amounts to approximately $235 a year.
 IIoftus prepared at the same schools as Hogan. Phillips-Ex and the Hotchkiss school. He was captain of the freshman football team and play ed on the football team this year.
