Bread Loaf School of English awards 49 master’s degrees at commencement

John Elder gives Bread Loaf School of English commencement address: “On August 11 at Middlebury’s Bread Loaf campus, the Bread Loaf School of English completed its 88th summer with commencement ceremonies, during which 49 students received master’s degrees.
The speaker at the Saturday night event — selected as always by the “seniors,” as the students who are completing their degrees call themselves — was John Elder, a long time member of both the Bread Loaf and the Middlebury College faculty. Introduced on Saturday night by Bread Loaf School of English Director Jim Maddox, Elder holds a joint appointment in English and Environmental Studies at Middlebury and his courses at Bread Loaf reflect his wide-ranging interests in both fields.”
