Robert Frost spent only five years (1915-20) in a plain white farmhouse in the sleepy mountain town of Franconia, N.H., before moving on to Vermont.

Besides the three examples cited above, Afro has launched a departmental newsletter (a quarterly named Nimba), sponsored its first General Education course (Social Sciences 7, "Introduction to Afro-American History"), and set up the department's first House seminar--Quincy 109, "Conflict and Mediation in Contemporary Africa...
