carberry
wins one of 40 marshall scholarships nationwide
Wellesley senior Morgan Carberry is one of 40 Marshall Scholars to
be chosen from across the nation this year and one of five selected
from the Boston/New England Region.
Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study
for a degree in the United Kingdom. The program allows the Scholars,
who are considered the potential leaders, opinion-formers and decision-makers
in their own country, to gain an understanding and appreciation of
British values and the British way of life. This year marks the 50th
anniversary of the Marshall Scholarship Program.
Carberry will study theater and music performance. “The scholarship
is tenable for two years,” she said. “I have applied to
use it at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow,
where I hope to pursue their new Master of Performance in Musical Theatre
program, and at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London,
where I have applied to the Post-Diploma Vocal Training Program in
classical voice.”
A French major with a minor in astronomy, she has been involved in
many campus music and theater performances.
“This is such an incredible honor, I still can’t even believe
that it has happened to me,” she said. “I applied for the
fellowship at the beginning of the year simply because I was so attracted
by the possibility of studying at these wonderful institutions, but
I never imagined I would make it this far. Now I am joining one of
the most respected groups of scholars in the world, and that alone
is a great distinction. But for me personally, what is even more amazing
is that this fellowship will permit me to continue doing what I love
next year, and hopefully for the rest of my life: theatrical and musical
performance.”
A member of the Shakespeare Society, she most recently performed the
role of Falstaff in Henry IV Part I. She has been musical director
and actress with Wellesley Summer Theatre and currently works at Open
Fields, a nonprofit community theater for children in Dover, where
she served as musical director and choreographer for its first mainstage
production and is now staging a cabaret show with a cast of 80 children.
She is completing an honors thesis on the monologue in French theater,
which will culminate in her own one-woman show performed in French.
She studied abroad in France last year with the Wellesley-in-Aix program.
Carberry has been the recipient numerous other honors.

to examine russian politics and putin’s regime
The Davis Fund
for Russian Area Studies will present a lecture, “Russian
Politics: The Upcoming Elections and the Evolution of Putin’s
Regime,” on Monday, Dec. 1, at 8 pm in the Library Lecture Room.
The speaker will be Timothy J. Colton, director of the Davis Center
for Russian Area Studies at Harvard University and co-author of Popular
Choice and Managed Democracy: The Russian Elections of 1999 and 2000.
For more information, please contact Professor Adam Weiner of the Russian
Department at x2419.
volunteer
to discuss fight against measles
On
Monday, Dec. 8, at 4:30 pm, a film and lecture, “Disease
of the Wind – The Measles Initiative: An Inside Look,” will
be presented in Pendleton West 212 by Brian McQuillan, a volunteer
with the American Red Cross. The newly released film “Disease
of the Wind” will be shown, chronicling the journey of actress
Jane Seymour and eight school children from Los Angeles on their trip
to Africa to witness the Red Cross Measles Initiative in action.
“While measles is a distant memory in the United States, each
year 44 million children suffer from measles and one million die of
the disease; 450,000 of these deaths occur in Africa alone,” said
event organizer Karen Wabeke ’04. “This fact makes measles
the single leading cause of death among children in Africa – more
than HIV, more than tuberculosis and more than malnutrition. It is
estimated that one child dies of measles each minute in Africa. Yet
the vaccine costs just 80 cents to supply and administer. This makes
measles vaccination the most cost-effective public health intervention
available to prevent death.”
The Wellesley event
is being held in conjunction with the Red Cross Club’s Measles Initiative Donation Drive. “Every individual
who donates to this cause will sign their name on a paper cutout of
a child,” Wabeke said. “We will then create a Chain of
Life in Schneider to visually represent the number of children who
will be vaccinated due to Wellesley College and community donations.” Donations
can be made in Schneider Center during lunch and dinner hours on Dec.
4, 5, 8, 9 and 10.
“I believe that the measles epidemic in Africa is a tragedy,
especially given the near complete absence of measles death in the
United States and Europe,” Wabeke said. “If we value the
lives of African children as much as we value the lives of American
children, we cannot ignore this call to action. Helping is so easy:
a dollar from every student, professor and staff member on campus would
go a long way to changing the world for thousands of children in Africa
who deserve a chance to grow up. All proceeds will go directly to the
Measles Initiative. We hope that the Wellesley College community will
attend the film and lecture on Dec. 8 to learn more about this important
effort.”
Refreshments will be served. For more information, call x7405. colleagues in the news

daniel
johnson,
economics, has won the 2003 Banco do Brasil-University of Brasilia
Economics Prize for “the best paper published in
the last two-year period, which uses theoretical, applied and/or historical
economic science methodology to analyze issues in Brazilian economy.” The
paper, “‘Learning-by-Licensing’: R&D and Technology
Licensing in Brazilian Invention,” addressed the impact of changing
technology legislation on the innovative behavior of firms across industries,
and was published last summer in the refereed journal Economics of
Innovation and New Technology. “With the recent liberalization
of technology flows, changes in the pattern of domestic invention can
be expected in Brazil,” Johnson writes. “This paper models
the decision of a firm to engage in innovative activity and to protect
the results of that activity. Using a unique firm-level dataset collected
for this purpose, estimation indicates that the interactions between
current R&D (research and development) and past licensing are prime
contributors to innovative success.” calendar

don't miss... triple
helix piano trio and vespers brighten december nights Acclaimed piano
trio Triple Helix will be joined by violist Kim Kashkashian for the
second concert of this year’s “Beethoven and His
Vibrant Legacy” festival Saturday, Dec. 6, at 8 pm in Houghton
Memorial Chapel. The accompanying lecture-recital will be presented
Wednesday, Dec. 3, from 12:30-2:15 pm in Jewett Auditorium. The members
of Triple Helix—pianist Lois Shapiro, violinist Bayla Keyes and
cellist Rhonda Rider—have been in residence at Wellesley College
since 1999 and were recently named “Musicians of the Year” by
The Boston Globe.
For the Dec. 3 “Emerging Self” Lecture-Recital, “Of
Time and the ‘Audible’ River: the Changing Nature and Perception
of Time in Music,” the trio will be joined by philosophy professor
Nicolas de Warren. The lecture-recital will include a discussion and
performance of excerpts from the Shotakovich Trios Nos. 1 and 2 and
the Schubert Trios, Op. 99 and 100. For the concert on Saturday, Dec.
6, the trio will perform Seven Variations for Cello on the Theme “Bei
Männern, welche Liebe fühlen” from Mozart’s “The
Magic Flute” and the Piano and Violin Sonata No. 4 in A minor,
Op. 23, both by Beethoven, along with Shotakovich’s Piano Trio
No. 1, Op. 8, Mahler’s Piano Quartet in A minor, and Brahms’ Piano
Quartet No. 2 in A, Op. 26.
The holiday season
will musically begin Sunday, Dec. 7, at 8 pm when the Wellesley College
Choir will present its annual Christmas Vespers
in Houghton Memorial Chapel. “This treasured annual tradition
features the Wellesley College Choir, Glee Club and Chamber Singers,” said
conductor Lisa Graham. “We are especially pleased this year to
give the world premiere of a piece we commissioned especially for Vespers: ‘Magnificat’ by
William Hawley for women’s choir and brass ensemble.”
Sponsored by the
Office of Religious Life’s Protestant and Catholic
Chaplaincies and the Choral Department, the evening features selected
scripture read by members of the Wellesley College community, beautiful
choral music for the holiday season and the talented James David Chrisite
performing on the Fisk organ. “It is a magical evening that for
many signifies the beginning of the Christmas season,” Graham
said. For more information, call x2028.
