That year, the Institute, which from its inception had been deeply in­ volved in post-doctoral education and research, became a graduate uni­ versity, offering the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to a small number of exceptional pre-doctoral students. Since 1953, The Rockefeller University's research and education pro­ grams have widened. Its achievements would fill a volume at least equal in size to Dr. Corner's history.

The College has now met and surpassed the enrollment W goals established by President Hugo F. Sonnenschein in 1996, and we have done so while increasing our applicant pool, our selectivity, and the overall level of participation by the faculty in the College’s instructional programs. Many people—College faculty, staff, alumni, and students—have contributed to this achievement, and we and our successors owe them an enormous debt of gratitude. I am particularly grateful to the members of the College faculty—as I know our students and their families are—for the crucial role that you played as teachers, as mentors, as advisers, and as collaborators in the academic achievements of our students. The College lies at the intellectual center of the University, an appropriate role for the University’s largest demographic unit. We affirm academic excellence as the primary norm governing all of our activities. Our students study all of the major domains of human knowledge, and they do so out of a love of learning and discovery. They undertake general and specialized studies across the several disciplines, from the humanities to the natural sciences and mathematics to the social sciences and beyond, This essay was originally presented as the Annual Report to the Faculty of the College on October 25, 2005.

(June 2014) The Rockefeller family /ˈrɒkɨfɛlər/ is an American industrial, political, and banking family of German descent that made one of the world's largest fortunes in the oil business during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with John D. Rockefeller and his brother William Rockefeller primarily through Standard Oil.[1] The family is also known for its long association with and control of Chase Manhattan Bank.[2] They are considered to be one of the most powerful families, if not the most powerful family,[3] in the history of the United States.

    An Unsung Hero

    An UnsUng Hero From 1880 to 1888, ages 27 to 34, an especially pious young man was the hard working pastor of a Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. One day, while toiling away in his church office, the patriarch of the most prominent and wealthy family in Minneapolis - George Pillsbury - presented himself at the door. The effects that unfolded from this meeting, 131 years ago, continue to profoundly affect all Americans. They are among the most impactful and transformative effects in American history. Redlands Forum January 16, 2020 Peter D. Kaufman A Remarkable Blend Of A Man “He has been the guiding genius in all our giving. He came to us first to undertake certain business matters requiring talent of a high order and showed phenomenal business ability. He combined with this the rare quality – born, no doubt, because he had the right kind of heart – of being able to direct the distribution of money with great vision. We all owe much to him, and his helpfulness should be generously recognized. He combines business skill and philanthropic aptitude to a higher degree than any other man I have ever known.”. John D. Rockefeller on Our Unsung Hero An Unsung Hero I’m going to nominate a man from over a century ago as one of the greatest “Unsung Heroes” in American history. From 1880 to 1888 - at ages 27 to 34 - our unsung hero was the uncommonly honest, pious and hard working pastor of the lowly Central Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was not without a sense of humor, saying his church was mainly populated by “those made to feel unwelcome” at the tony First Baptist Church of Minneapolis.

    The History of the Giving While Living Ethic BY BENJAMIN SOSKIS MAY 2017 “The History of the Giving While Living Ethic” is excerpted from a forthcoming volume on the history of Giving While Living and limited-life philanthropy, made possible by support from The Atlantic Philanthropies, and reprinted with permission of the author. BENJAMIN SOSKIS is a Research Associate at the Urban Institute’s Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy, and the co-editor ofHistPhil , a web publication dedicated to the history of the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. He is a frequent contributor to the Chronicle of Philanthropy; his writing on philanthropy and the nonprofit sector has also appeared in the Washington Post, The Atlantic online, the New Yorker.com, the Guardian, the American Prospect, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. He is the co-author of The Battle Hymn of the Republic: A Biography of the Song that Marches On (Oxford, 2013), and of “Looking Back at 50 Years of U.S. Philanthropy,” commission for the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Symposium. He is also a consultant for the history of philanthropy program of the Open Philanthropy Project, jointly funded by Good Ventures and GiveWell. He received his Ph.D. in American history from Columbia University and lives in Washington, DC. Preface Chuck Feeney’s philanthropy, and that of the foundation he established, The Atlantic Philanthropies, has been defined by two exceptional decisions. On November 23, 1984, Feeney transferred to what was then called the Atlantic Foundation nearly all his personal fortune — mostly shares in Duty Free Shoppers (DFS), which he had co-founded two decades before — a gift valued at between $500 million and $1 billion.
