Kline, who taught for many years in the Philosophy and Russian Departments at 91´«Ã½. These fellowships are intended to support current and graduating students from 91´«Ã½ and Haverford who want to pursue language study, specialized coursework, or independent research in a Russian-speaking country and need financial assistance in order to accomplish their goals.
