HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Two federal agencies announced during vacation grants to University graduate schools that total nearly $400,000.
The National Endowment for the Humanities gave the Law School's Center for Law and Humanities $328,950 for a fellowship program, and the School of Public Health got $61,463 from the Environmental Protection Agency to study air pollution.
The law and humanities program will award young teachers of law an academic year at Harvard to study the humanities and their relationship to teaching law.
Next year the program will offer 12 fellowships with stipends of up to $15,000 each, with fellows' time divided between individual and group study.
Third Grant
The endowment grant is the third it has made to the law and humanities center; the three grants total $992,950.
The director of the National Endowment for the Humanities is Roger Rosenblatt, a former assistant professor of English at Harvard.
The Environmental Protection Agency grant is for the first year of a three-year, $194,462 study of the effects of certain air pollutants on the respiratory system.
The study--which Dr. Mary O. Amdur, associate professor of Toxicology, will direct--will look into the effects on the nose, eyes, throat and lungs of sulfates, oil mists and sulfur dioxide.
