ANN ARBOR – The William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan is now accepting applications for its fellowships through March 1.
The library offers fellowships each year to help scholars access its world-renowned American history collections. Its storied and picturesque reading room is closed to the public. Prior to the pandemic, public tours of the building designed by architect Albert Kahn were given only on select Fridays.
Meandered Path is the story of the exciting and dramatic life of Dr. Francis Folorunso Oghenero Abudu, a teacher, scholar, researcher, banker, investor, venture capitalist, and administrator. It is the odyssey and testimony of a couple – Francis and Rosaline – whose brave endeavours, adventure, professional careers, and work of philanthropy have positively transformed the destinies of numerous families, individuals, and the fortunes of diverse private and public institutions. Meandered Path is a celebration of lives well-lived and divinely directed to add value to the Nigerian society and humanity in general. It is a swift-flowing narrative marked by breath-taking episodes and exploits full of refreshing lessons and philosophical reflections on the great drama called life. The book is a compendium of knowledge about the family hood, daring enterprise, and determination to triumph over obstacles and challenges.

During the deliberations over whether to ratify the US constitution in 1788, George Mason, the Virginian politician and scholar, warned against one particular inclusion: the right of a president to pardon people. He may frequently pardon crimes which were advised by himself, Mason said. It may happen, at some future day, that he will establish a monarchy, and destroy the republic.
Donald Trump this week once more tested the boundaries of what voters will tolerate when it comes to presidential clemency, issuing pardons to 15 people on Tuesday and a further 26 on Wednesday.
