Harvard Society of Fellows

The Harvard Society of Fellows is a collection of luminaries selected by Harvard University to be held close to its bosom, given special honors, thrown elegant dinners, and upon whom various privileges are bestowed. Membership in the society is for life.

Fellows are selected based on their previous academic accomplishments, and are often financially supported for one or two years after induction into the Society, and encouraged to do whatever work or travel they wish during that time. Fellows are also called upon to give lectures at the university, both to specific departments and, famously, to the university at large.
