[00:33.33]W:We inaugurated the Fellowship
[00:38.03]of the English Association at the British Academy
[00:42.89]with a party for the Founding Fellows,
[00:47.05]which was held on Friday May 5th.
[00:51.62]It was a very successful occasion at which
[00:56.37]more than forty of the newly elected Fellows attended;
[01:01.65]we hope that there'll be many more like it.
[01:06.09]The Fellowship exists
[01:09.85]in order to recognize excellence in education in English,
[01:15.78]whether that excellence be demonstrated in teaching,
[01:20.22]research,or professional activity.
[01:24.17]Candidates for Fellow-ship
[01:27.51]are considered from all areas of education in English;
[01:32.68]though the bulk of the Fellowship
[01:36.44]is likely to consist of those who work in higher education,
[01:41.80]we are pleased
[01:45.04]that the Secondary Education Committee was able
[01:49.48]to nominate a number of Fellows,
[01:53.55]and especially pleased that several of them were able to be with us in May.
[01:59.30]We are aware that as yet the Fellowship does not represent
[02:04.58]the whole range of achievement in English studies.
[02:09.33]The election of the first Fellows
[02:13.09]has about it something of a declaration of intent.
[02:18.24]Our aim was to honour current achievement,
[02:23.52]and though the Fellowship is not closed to those who have
[02:28.87]retired from teaching we did mean the emphasis to fall
[02:33.63]primarily on those who were still in office.
[02:38.07]We wanted to emphasize the role
[02:41.93]of the Fellowship as recognizing achievement nationally
[02:46.79]and therefore sought to nominate people from across the breadth of the country
[02:52.43]Anyone interested in being considered for a Fellowship
[02:57.16]should write to the Chief Executive of the Association.
[03:02.49]We also intend to act independently of such application.
