"> </span>It has now been more than five years since I began to write the paper on Anne Hutchinson that was ultimately published in <i>The Concord Review</i> in 2001. Five very eventful years, but I still remember the excitement of my first venture into historical research: wandering through the stacks looking for books, painstakingly recreating from bits and pieces of disparate evidence a story of a life so dramatically different from my own, and watching as a new scholarly creation all my own took shape. That in itself was momentous, and having the opportunity to publish and see my work recognized among my peers only served to reinforce the importance of this experience for me. In <i>The Concord Review</i>, I saw myself as a scholar for the first time—a persona I would adopt more and more frequently as I grew older.</font></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Garamond Premier Pro'; min-height: 13px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Palatino"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; "></span><br></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Garamond Premier Pro'; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Palatino"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>At Yale, my interests evolved far away from the early American Puritans. I studied economics, explored the hemisphere, and roamed thousands of miles away from the Boston where both I and Anne Hutchinson had lived, but my memories of the thrill of independent research did not dim, and I pursued it eagerly—only now, it was Chilean trade policy that made my pulse beat faster. Transformed into an economist, I nonetheless treasured the lessons of my experience as a young historian.</font></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Garamond Premier Pro'; min-height: 13px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Palatino"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; "></span><br></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 36px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Garamond Premier Pro'; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" face="Palatino"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>As a senior, you can imagine my surprise and pleasure when, at the conclusion of a Rhodes interview filled to bursting with talk of economic development, trade and international politics, I was asked to tell the committee about [my paper on] Anne Hutchinson. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to introduce yet again one of my favorite historical characters, and coincidentally or not, ended up with a trip to Oxford. The fact that I could give that answer, is in part thanks to your tireless work on <i>The Concord Review</i>.</font></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;
