National Grants
The National Endowment
for the Humanities has
awarded one of ten national
grants to the University for a
summer seminar on "New
Directions in Literary Study."
The program will attempt
to improve the quality and
procedures in undergraduate
education.
The $40,000-grant will
sponsor an eight-week course
of study with the University's
English Department for 10
college teachers.
The students will each
receive a $2,000 stipend plus
travel expenses. Applicants,
according to the seminar
director Dr. Ralph Cohen,
must have long experience
teaching American or English
literature at a college which
does not offer a graduate
program in this area.
Preferences will be given to
teachers from institutions with
limited library resources.
