Earlier this year, Jim Cousins, a doctoral students in EPE, was awarded
a fellowship by the Filson Historical Society. A privately-supported
museum and library founded in 1884, the Society is located in downtown
Louisville. In addition to maintaining an extensive collection of
manuscripts, photographs, and ephemera related to Kentucky history,
the Society is home of /Ohio Valley History,/ a peer-reviewed research
journal, and /The Filson/, a quarterly historical magazine.
Jim's dissertation research is focused on higher education in Kentucky
during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A short piece describing
his research (see attached) will be published in /The Filson's/ upcoming
summer number. Congratulations, Jim! Keep up the good work!
