Featured Funders The New York Public Library I was hoping for a little more whimsy when I decided to write about the New York Public Library for today’s Featured Funder profile. Maybe find a few fun facts about Patience and Fortitude, the iconic marble lions outside the main branch on Fifth Avenue, and cruise into the end of summer with a few pending opportunities. Instead, we have to talk about opium smuggling and the fur trade. Onward? The New York Public Library has a couple of key founders, but most everyone agrees that John Jacob Astor was the first. He was born in 1763 in a southern German town named Waldorf, where his father worked as a butcher. For the first sixteen years of his life, he worked in his father’s shop and as a dairy salesmen. In 1779, he moved to London to work with his older brother in his uncle’s factory for manufacturing flutes and pianos. There he changed his named from Johannes Jakob to John Jacob and learned English, which proved handy when he moved to the newly independent United States in 1783. Once in the United States, he married his landlady’s daughter, a shrewd woman whose business acumen, he wrote admiringly, was better than that of most men. He also stumbled into the fur trade, buying pelts from indigenous people, preparing them himself, and selling them back in Europe for astronomical profits. That worked beautifully for Astor (with a few bumps, like being forced to petition President Jefferson for special permission to trade with Canada after the U.S. Embargo Act of 1807), until the War of 1812 disrupted his business. That’s when Astor took up smuggling opium to China. I can’t say how much of the Astor fortune came from opium. He’s certainly not the last benefactor of the NYPL to profit from drugs of various sorts - the Cullman Center comes from the Phillip Morris family fortune. Between his initial fortune in fur, opium profits, and his speculation in NYC real estate, Astor died as the wealthiest man in America and possibly one of the wealthiest people who ever lived. A portion of his fortune went to found a public library—$12 million by today’s standards—and in 1854, six years after his death at the age of 90, the Astor Library on Lafayette Street opened. And maybe that would be the end of the story, except, as it turned out, the library wasn’t very good as a library. It was a grand building with an enviable reference section that never circulated and, as a salty New York Times article in 1872 put it, “might almost as well be under lock and key, for any access the masses of the people can get thereto." The Astors and other wealthy families kept contributing to it, but the library languished financially until in the 1890s the executors of the estate left by Samuel J. Tilden, a former New York Governor, decided to honor his request that his fortune establish a network of public libraries in New York by combining the Astor Library with the Lenox library. I plan to include a whole article on Tilden’s will in The History of Philanthropy, but suffice to say that his money, combined with another big donation by Andrew Carnegie, did the trick. Today the New York Public Library offers a wide range of residencies and fellowships, some of which are listed below. “The Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers is an international fellowship program open to people whose work will benefit directly from access to the collections at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building—including academics, independent scholars, and creative writers (novelists, playwrights, poets). Visual artists at work on a book project are also welcome to apply.” Due: September 24. Funding: Up to $75k. “The Schomburg Center Scholars-in-Residence Program offers long-term and short-term fellowships to support scholars and writers working on projects that would benefit from access to the Center's extensive resources for the study of African diasporic history, politics, literature, and culture.” Due: December 1. Funding: $3k/month for short-term, $35k for six months.
2 Return to table of contents Sage Advice Tips on Proposal Writing from the ACLS, Part II I promised last issue that I would be back with a final(?) article on tips from the ACLS. If you’ll recall, I covered advice and insights from John Paul Christy, the Senior Director of U.S. Programs, on the changes that the organization is undergoing here. For today’s column, I want to pull out a few insights from a guide on proposal writing that he specifically recommended: A Guide for Writing Proposals for the ACLS, by Christina Gillis. There are various tips in there for how to write for ACLS in particular and what type of audience to expect. I thought the most interesting and widely applicable part of the article comes in the Appendix, when Gillis outlines a few strategies for how to write an engaging, effective proposal. Gillis offers three options, though just this week I’ve been reviewing faculty proposals that combine all three, so don’t think of these as mutually exclusive. Questions in the Field “All proposals should in some way address questions raised in the field of study, whether defined as the discipline, some particular territory within the discipline, or an area that moves across disciplinary boundaries. Perhaps the most common strategy is the effective reference to focused, easily recognizable, and previously unaddressed or inadequately addressed questions in the field: State the question and explain how the project will answer that question. It is not sufficient to identify an important question that has not been asked before or that has been inadequately answered, or to propose a new perspective on an old problem: one must note why the question has been inadequately answered to date, or why a new perspective is needed.” Snapshots and Stories “Snapshots and short stories can be very effective in attracting a reviewer’s attention to a proposal. In a proposal on hidden dimensions of a ritual, a religious studies scholar might offer a vignette of Central American women praying to a surrogate deity; a geographer might offer a snapshot of a leisure fishing community in urban New Jersey to show how members of a working class immigrant group retain connections with their natural environment….In these examples, the snapshot or story is short (rarely longer than one paragraph) but dramatic— setting the stage for the investigation to come by giving the reviewer a concrete reference point.” Intellectual and Scholarly Trajectory “An emphasis on the intellectual and scholarly terrain previously covered by the writer may serve as an effective framework for presenting the proposed research and writing project. This strategy may suit the scholar who already has significant publications in a particular area and whose new project, while at a less advanced stage, is demonstrably related to the earlier work.” These strategies all share the assumption that proposal writing is still a form of writing. You don’t need to bracket completely all the art that you use when crafting a chapter or a book just because you’re applying for money. Of course you have to be succinct and clear about your work plan, but grant writing is just another rhetorical exercise in getting people to care about your work. Just as importantly, it’s an exercise in persuading people that the problems that you care about matter. If you have a great anecdote that humanizes your topic, use it. Your reviewers are reading stacks of applications—if they read one proposal that begins by defining Kant’s categorical imperative and another that tells the story of how Kant made it a maxim to only smoke one pipe a day, which led him in later years to smoke increasingly enormous pipes…well, whose proposal would you remember five hours later?
Return to table of contents 3 The History of American Philanthropy We left the history of philanthropy with John Winthrop’s sermon on the voyage to North America, exhorting his Puritan peers to build a “city upon a hill,” that would provide an example of holiness for the world by living in strict accordance with God’s will—including by conducting their lives with faith that wealth and poverty were ordained by God, as was the Christian obligation to care for the poor. I’ve been trying to stick to the legal history of philanthropy throughout this story, because otherwise the column will go on forever, but Christianity is an important backdrop to how laws were written. Today we’re back on more solidly legal ground with the story of the first corporation in the colonies. (By corporation I mean a group of people, or an organization legally authorized to act as a single entity—in the colonial period, by charter.) People always squabble over firsts, but a solid number of sources agree that Harvard deserves that title. Of course, it wasn’t called Harvard when the “Great and General Court of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England” approved £400 for its establishment in 1636; then it was just called the “schoale” or “colledge.” It only adopted the name Harvard College two years later, when a local minister named John Harvard left half his fortune and all his books to the young college. His bequest to Harvard totaled £780, an amount one source claims was equal to all the tax revenue collected in the colony that year. The other half of his fortune—inherited when most of his extended family died of the plague—went to his wife, who disappeared to history. The initial vote in favor of a new college wasn’t enough to make it a corporation. That happened in 1650 when the Massachusetts Bay colonist received a charter from a very distracted government. The charter itself is quite interesting and opens with a nod to the goodness of God. Whereas through the good hand of God many well devoted persons have been and daily are moved and stirred up to give and bestow sundry gifts legacies lands and revenues for the advancement of all good literature arts and sciences in Harvard College in Cambridge in the County of Middlesex and to the maintenance of the President and Fellows and for all accommodations of buildings and all other necessary provisions that may conduce to the education of the English and Indian youth of this country in knowledge and godliness. The reference to “Indian youth” was not window dressing. The college was being funded in part by a London missionary society called The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England, which was deeply concerned with converting the indigenous tribes to Christianity. There was a whole building devoted to native students and a printing press that produced “the Elliot Indian Bible,” translated into the local Massachusetts language, an Algonquian language spoken in eastern and southeastern Massachusetts. At least four Native American students went there in the 1650s and 1660s, though only Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck, a member of the Wampanoag people, graduated. We have two pieces of evidence connecting us directly back to him; a letter in Latin, urging donors to continue supporting the school, and a yellow and brown striped bag. Cheeshahteaumuck died from tuberculosis in 1666, a year after graduating. Eventually English colonial students moved into the empty, echoing building, then out, and the Harvard Indian College fell into disrepair. It was closed for good in 1693 and taken apart to reuse its bricks for construction elsewhere. Harvard will hardly be the last philanthropic institution to jump into remaking a local world and limp away, conscious of failure. There will be plenty more to say on that topic when we get to the boom in professional philanthropy after the Civil War. The closure of the Harvard Indian College didn’t rattle the university for long. Its future turned out to be remarkably smooth. No one in England or the colonies challenged the bequests left to it, no matter how vaguely worded the will. Things wouldn’t be so simple for the Pennsylvania Quakers.
