Harold Fisch: “I have the pleasantest memories of my stay in Edinburgh as a fellow of the Institute… it gave us [the chance] to experience the abundant cultural life of Edinburgh and its University.”
Alice B. Kehoe: “My memories of the half year I spent at IASH are warm and deep. The beautiful setting and house, the convenience to research sources… and above all the truly collegial staff and fellows made for a sabbatical that truly lived up to the implication of its name, a time transcending the ordinary.”
Alan O’Day: “I have been a visiting fellow at Oxford colleges, the School of Advanced Study in the University of London, the University of Durham, Trinity College Dublin, and at an American university, but none of these very fine opportunities lives more warmly in my memory than that at the Institute.”
Sir Ninian Stephen: “I found that experience, my first encounter, extending over a prolonged period, with people from diverse disciplines and involving intense and directed discussion on current themes, both stimulating and intellectually broadening for someone who to that point had spent his life in the law.”
George F. Bass: “It was a wonderful and productive experience. Undistracted by teaching and administrative responsibilities, I was able to devote myself fully to the completion of a book.”
Arthur Donovan: “The two summers I spent as a Fellow were among the most pleasant and fruitful of my academic career.”
