胡適1950年1月5日記
豪俠劉芝圃 (此君暫時找不到資料) 推薦他為普林斯頓大學的Alfred Hodder Fellowship…..
此Fellowship 主要是獎助有潛力 (promising, not performance)
的作家駐校….胡適固然想去寫《中國思想史》的英文版寫定付印，不過他是大號人物，後來安排取長某圖書館…….
該日日記說他不久前看了馮友蘭的A Short History of Chinese
Philosophy，實在太糟了。我應該趕快把《中國思想史》寫完。

Princeton University invites applications for the Hodder Fellowships: The Hodder Fellowship will be given to writers and non-literary artists of exceptional ...Hodder Fellowship Benefits Promising Writers
The
writings of Mary MacKall Gwinn Hodder can be found in the archives of
two college libraries—at Bryn Mawr, where she taught around the turn of
the last century, and in Princeton, where she lived during her final
years. Although these papers may only rarely see the light of day, the
words of her last will and testament endure outside the libraries’
walls: Each January, a selection committee of the Council of the
Humanities listens attentively to Hodder’s wishes, read aloud from her
will, to award fellowships for “the promotion of self-directed work…
[for humanists] with more than ordinary intellectual and literary
gifts.”Through her estate, Hodder created the Charles John Morris Gwinn and Alfred Hodder Fund in memory of her father and husband with a very clear purpose, which was discussed at length with two Princeton presidents. Her legacy was designed to help humanists who demonstrated exceptional “promise rather than performance” through grants that were not coupled with the requirements of an academic program.
Since the fellowship was established in 1944, growth of the endowed fund has allowed the program to expand: when it was established, it appointed one fellow every other year; by 2005, it appointed three fellows annually. And in 2006, teaching responsibilities were added to the program, so that current fellows each teach an undergraduate course.
Doug Wright was the sole Hodder fellow in 1993-4 and spent his time at Princeton working on two plays—I Am My Own Wife and Quills. The two have garnered top prizes and awards, including a Pulitzer, Tony, and an Obie. (The screen adaptation of Quills, which starred Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, Michael Caine, Joaquin Phoenix, and Billy Whitelaw, received three Academy Award® nominations.)
His year at Princeton was a life-changing experience for Wright. “I’m profoundly grateful to this day,” he says. Before receiving the fellowship, he recounts managing “a piecemeal existence as an erstwhile writer, occasional teacher, sitcom hack, and script reader. Ever since I completed my year on that remarkable fellowship, I have earned a full-time living as an author. What a wonderful transition!”
The expansion of the program since Wright’s experience has made it even more valuable to the fellows as well as to students. “As well as being integrated into the larger community, they create their own community,” says Carol Rigolot, executive director of the Council of the Humanities. “Teaching a course helps the fellows become a part of the fabric of the University. They develop relationships with students that they wouldn’t otherwise have, and the students in turn benefit from working with extraordinarily promising young writers,” she says.
In 2007-08, the Lewis Center for the Arts took the program under its wing. Paul B. Muldoon, the Howard G. B. Clark ’21 University Professor in the Humanities and founding chair of the center, considers the Hodder Fellowships to be something of a model for expanding fellowships in the arts. “The Society of Fellows in the Creative and Performing Arts will bring not only young poets and playwrights, but choreographers, composers, ceramicists, and costume designers to Princeton. It will be a vital time in their lives, and in the lives of our students,” he says.
