...apparently confuses Nieman seminars with Nieman dinners. The seminars, usually held for two hours every Tuesday afternoon, are almost entirely devoted to hearing from the Harvard academic and administrative community. If any one area of study has dominated the list (and I don't believe it has), it could only have been by a narrow margin. We have heard from and argued with deans, physicists, law school professors, musicians, English professors and engineering spokesmen, as well as professors from the departments of government, social relations and history...

...dinner, they have this year as in the past been a forum for editors, reporters and publishers to talk some aspects of shop.

But Dwight Sargent most strongly does encourage "imaginative and original study plans," conducting the first group meeting of the year in such a way that the Fellows are exposed to a dozen different suggestions on how to use the year. The underlying assumption is that the Nieman Fellows are adult enough to select those courses and programs which would best enrich or help them. We do not need or want overt guidance, because this would be the surest prescription for stifling diversity...
