Four Women Will Study Here As Nieman Fellows Next Year

The Nieman Foundation announced last week that twelve people--including four women--have been selected to the 36th class of Nieman Fellows.

The twelve will take a year off from journalism and study in any part of the University next year. No women are in the present class of Niemans.
