Two with ties to Middlebury College among MacArthur Fellows for 2007: “The MacArthur Foundation recently named two people with close ties to Middlebury College as recipients of its renowned ‘genius grants.’ Deborah Bial, the founder and president of the Posse Foundation who received an honorary degree from Middlebury, and Peter Cole, the publisher, translator, and poet who attended the Arabic School and taught at Middlebury, were among the 24 recipients of the 2007 MacArthur Fellowships — five-year, unrestricted grants awarded to individuals who exhibit exceptional creativity in their work and the prospect for more innovative accomplishments in the future.”
