Nine '04s pursue research interests

By Alison Schmauch | October 25, 2001

Nine students in the Class of 2004 received grants from the First Year Office's Summer Research program to work on projects this past summer. The nine fellows are James Barbosa, Reid Miller Coggins, Michaella Frederick, Erik Jacobson, Kristina Mendicino, Tyra Olstad, William Raynolds, Savina Rizova and Raul Serrano. The fellows, who are working on a wide range of projects, stressed how positive their experiences had been. Mendicino vividly remembers the day that she began "jumping up and down in front of a public blitz terminal" when she received word that Philip Horne, a prominent Henry James scholar at University College London, would be willing to assist her with her research project. The e-mail, sent from Mendicino's faculty advisor, Professor of English David Wykes, indicated that Wykes had finally reached Horne in London after several days of trying. After eagerly rushing to Wykes' office, Mendicino remembers "running through the snow" toward Main Street, determined to start researching the prices of plane tickets to England. Mendicino's research ultimately focused on changes in perspective and thematic treatment in James' five revisions to his novella "A Passionate Pilgrim." Mendicino said that she hopes to be an English professor and that she may specialize in James. J.P.

Grant hopes for term-long fellows

By Charles Gardner | October 23, 2001

Although none of this year's five Montgomery Fellows elected to remain on campus for more than a few days, the Montgomery Endowment continues to search for fellows that will stay in residence for an entire term. Renowned anthropologist Richard Leakey, the most recent fellow, arrived on campus earlier this month, but only stayed for three days. Other recent visitors, among them cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Polish politician and activist Lech Walesa and playwright Tom Mac Intyre, all remained on campus for a week or less. Despite this year's lack of term-long visitors, Director of the Montgomery Endowment Barbara Gerstner said she remains committed to hosting fellows for extended periods of time. "The Endowment was created for most fellows to stay varying lengths of time," Gerstner said.
