Kenneth '25 and Harle Montgomery
Creators of the Montgomery Fellowship
DARTMOUTH MAY BE ISOLATED , but it is not insular. Harle and the late Kenneth '25 Montgomery have seen to that. Their Montgomery Fellowship, established in 1977, has brought world-class researchers, writers, and leaders to campus for extended stays. Among the fellows: Gerald Ford, Wallace Stegner, John Cheever, Robert Penn Warren, Erskine Caldwell, Bernard Malamud John Updike, William Styron, Mary McCarthy, Michel Foucault, Carlos Fuentes, Stephen Jay Gould, Toni Morrison, Allan Bloom, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Dean Rusk, Harry Blackmun, Barbara Tuchman, Czeslaw Milosz, Conor Cruise O'Brien, Paul Tsongas '62, Scott Momaday, Gore Vidal, Oscar Arias Sanchez, Chinua Achebe, Saul Bellow, Claire Bloom, Elise Boulding, Jorge Castaneda, Freeman Dyson, John Kenneth Galbraith, Edward Heath, Mae Jemison, Stanley Kunitz, Eugene McCarthy, David McCullough, Louise Erdrich '76, and Philip Roth. These and dozens of other thinkers have broadened our classrooms and our minds, have reminded us—as no textbook alone ever could—of our connection and responsibility to the wide, wide world.
The Montgomerys have filled an intellectual powerhouse.
