A fellow in the broadest sense is someone who is an equal or a comrade. The term fellow is also used to describe a person, particularly by those in the upper social classes. It is most often used in an academic context: a fellow is often part of an elite group of learned people who are awarded fellowship to work together as peers in the pursuit of knowledge or practice. The fellows may include visiting professors, postdoctoral researchers and doctoral researchers.

Famous quotes containing the word fellow:
“God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“... every woman’s organization recognizes that reformers are far more common than feminists, that the passion to look after your fellow man, and especially woman, to do good to her in your way is far more common than the desire to put into every one’s hand the power to look after themselves.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“I had a chair at every hearth,
When no one turned to see,
With ‘Look at that old fellow there,
‘And who may he be?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
