Teaching Careers
The Danforth Fellowships are
designed to encourage outstanding
College Graduates who show promise
for distinguished careers in
college teaching in order to help
meet the critical need for University
professors.
A national panel of educators
selects the Fellows on the basis of
the intellectual power of the
candidate and his commitment to
humane values and their place in
higher education. The University
nominees were each interviewed by
such a panel in Richmond. The
personal interview represents an
important part of the selection
procedure, according to Mr. Pruett.
Mr. Peele is a Philosophy major
at the University and plans to
pursue his advanced degree in the
philosophy of religion and aesthetics.
He is unsure as to where he
will be spending his next year.
