This summer Haverford bid bon voyage to graduating seniors James Welcome and Samuel Freeman, both of whom won prestigious $18,000 Watson Fellowships to pursue a year of artistic and scholarly interests abroad.
Welcome is traveling in China, India, Mongolia and Nepal to follow the path of the monkey depicted in the Chinese Classic Novel. Freeman is using his fellowship to travel throughout England, photographing the lives of skilled laborers in a Scottish fishing village, a Welsh slate mining community and a Northern England farming village.
