Faculty Accomplishments
April, 1999

CHRISTOPHER BAILEY coordinated Wells College's participation in the 13th National Conference on Undergraduate Research, held April 8-10, at the University of Rochester. There were nine Wells student presentations at the conference this year--the largest number in our ten year association with NCUR. Details of these presentations have been presented elsewhere. Professor Bailey asks that faculty begin to think about potential student participants for next year's conference, which will be held at the University of Montana in Missoula.

BRUCE BENNETT's chapbook, Garretman, was published by FootHills Publishing. A poem by Professor Bennett was published in the anthology of children's poetry, what have you lost?, Greenwill Books, edited by Naomi Shihab Nye. He also had a poem published in Piedmont Literary Review and three published in the Spring 1999 issue of Light. Also in the Spring issue of Light, Professor Bennett's chapbook, Maneuvers, was favorably reviewed by Light's editor, John Mella.

CATHERINE BURROUGHS's book, Closet Stages, has been favorably reviewed in the following journals: Theatre Journal, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, Albion, South Central Review, Romanticism on the Net, and European Romantic Review. At the end of April, she will attend the biannual meeting of the Board of Visitors at Wake Forest University to discuss the topic, "The Faculty and Our Students: Special Aspects of Good Teaching."

BEATRICE FARNSWORTH presented a paper, "Unionizing the Batrachka (the hired, rural working women): An Episode in Rural Resistance," at the annual meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies held at New York University on March 20. In February, she served as a referee for an article on Soviet history for the Journal of Modern History. She also served as reader of fellowship applications for the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, Washington, D.C.
