Hemingway Archive Acquired by Middlebury

Middlebury College has acquired an archive of correspondence, journals and more than 1,400 letters from the Ernest Hemingway and Hemingway Family Collection. A highlight of the collection is a carbon copy of a unique version of the first chapter of The Sun Also Rises, which Hemingway eventually deleted at the suggestion of his friend F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Historic Pollution Research Papers Released

Pollution in Maine's Androscoggin River prompted the enactment of the federal Clean Water Act of 1972. The papers of a Bates College professor whose decades of reseach were crucial to that effort have been opened to researchers - coincidentally, just as the state Board of Environmental Protection prepares to revisit a controversial 2005 pollution plan involving an Androscoggin paper company.
