Subject: #1:  Fw: Your Students Can Experience the Museum World (42 lines)

  Historic Deerfield, a museum of New England history and art, announces the
  2000 Summer Fellowship Program in Early American History and Material
  Culture.  Between six and ten college students will spend nine weeks in
  western Massachusetts studying early American history and experiencing the
  inner workings of a museum.

  Successful applicants will be awarded a $7500 fellowship which covers
  tuition, books, field trip expenses, room, and board for nine weeks.  A
  limited number of awards to offset lost summer income - ranging from $500
  to $1500 - will be awarded to students of exceptional promise and with
  demonstrated financial need.

  The settings for classes range from eighteenth-century houses to the
  state-of-the-art Flynt Center of Early New England Life, which opened in
  1998.  Fellows participate in seminar sessions, learn to give guided tours
  in three of Historic Deerfield's museum houses, and conduct original
  research using the document, printed, and artifactual collections of
  Historic Deerfield and the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association.  They
  also visit other museums in New England, including Old Sturbridge Village,
  Plimoth Plantation, and the Yale University Art Gallery, and, in the final
  week of the program, Colonial Williamsburg and the Winterthur Museum.  At
  each stop the Fellows meet with museum staff members for in-depth
  presentations and discussions about the museum, its collections, and its
  interpretive philosophy.

  An official application form must be supported by official college
  transcripts, at least two letters of recommendation from college faculty
  members, a brief essay (200-300 words) discussing how the applicant's
  academic experiences and other interests have prepared them for the
  program, and a non-refundable application fee of $15.

  Academic credit is available through the History Department of the
  University of Massachusetts.

  The application deadline is March 1, 2000.

  In short, the Summer Fellowship Program is a museum internship and an
  academic program.

When I feel the hidden power that lies inside your sound
Like the ghost inside the atom that spins it round and round.
There's magic in some words, something you can't explain
That conjures up that feeling of the sun inside the rain.
