t is fundamental in our purpose, and our express I. desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty as well as in the admission of workers and

students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly,

of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit

characteristic of America at its noblest, above all

the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any

conditions as to personnel other than those designed

to promote the objects for which this institution is

established, and particularly with no regard whatever

to accidents of race, creed, or sex.

Background and Purpose

he Institute for Advanced Study was founded in 1930 with a major gift from New Jersey businessman and philanthropist Louis Bamberger and his sister Caroline Bamberger Fuld, who wished to use their Tfortunes to make a significant and lasting contribution to society. They sought the advice of educator Abraham Flexner, who developed the concept of the Institute as a community of scholars whose primary purpose would be the pursuit of advanced learning and scholarly exploration. The Institute for Advanced Study has remained committed to its founding principles, and its record of definitive scholarship and scientific achievement is unsurpassed. The Institute fills a unique role in postgraduate education and scientific and scholarly research. As “the university to universities,” in the words of Trustee Vartan Gregorian, the Institute serves all colleges and universities by providing a place where scholars can hone their skills and do their best work, thereby adding substantially to their ability to contribute as both teachers and scholars to the academic institutions where they base their careers. For young scholars just entering the academic world, an opportunity to work at the Institute can set the direction for lifelong research The Institute’s foremost interests and thereby determine professional careers. The Institute provides more objective is the advancement mature scholars with the opportunity to take new directions in their research or to complete a major piece of work away from the many obligations of working of knowledge and the life at a university. At a time when pure research and scholarly activities are deepening of understanding undervalued, the opportunities that the Institute provides have never been more across a broad range of necessary. The Institute’s foremost objective is the advancement of knowledge the humanities, sciences, and the deepening of understanding across a broad range of the humanities, sci- and social sciences. ences, and social sciences. One of the Institute’s unique strengths is its permanent Faculty of twenty-nine eminent scholars, whose broad interests and extensive ties to the larger academic world are reflected in their own work and also in the guidance and direction they provide to the Institute’s visiting scholars. The Faculty defines the major themes and questions that become the focus of each School’s seminars and other activities, and selects and works closely with visiting Members. Small in number and organized into four Schools (Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science), the Faculty and Members interact with one another without any departmental or disciplinary barriers. AKRUDADPURPOSE AND BACKGROUND Each year the Institute awards fellowships to some 190 visiting Members from about one hundred universities and research institutions throughout the world. The Institute’s more than seven thousand former Members hold positions of intellectual and scientific leadership in the United States and abroad. Some twenty-two Nobel Laureates and thirty-four out of forty-eight Fields Medalists, as well as many winners of theWolf and MacArthur prizes, have been affiliated with the Institute.The Institute does not receive income from tuition or fees; resources for operations come from endowment income, grants from private foundations and government agencies, and gifts from corporations and individuals.

he School of Historical Studies is concerned principally with the history of Western European, Near Eastern, and East Asian civilizations. Both inside and outside these broad areas of study, Faculty and T Members have pursued a wide range of topics. The emphasis has traditionally been on Greek and

Roman civilization, medieval, early modern and modern European history, history of art, and the history of STUDIES HISTORICAL OF SCHOOL science, but over time the School’s interests have been enlarged to include Islamic culture, the history of China and Japan, modern international relations, and more recently, music studies. Over two thousand scholars have come to the School since its founding, and their work in these and other areas of research has regularly been enriched by the fruitful interaction of disciplines in a small and collegial community. The School’s broad interpretation of the meaning of “Historical Studies” continued to be reflected in the research projects pursued by the forty Members and nineVisitors who joined the School for the academic year 2008–09.Their research spanned a diverse range of historical subjects including the history of art, philosophy, music, religion, international relations, literature, science, and medicine, as well as ancient history and Classics. The periods studied ranged from as far back as the Bronze Age to the late twentieth century. Research carried out in the School also extended over a wide geographic range, including Europe, the Mid- dle East, and East Asia. Members received support both from the Institute’s own funds and from a variety of external sources, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Andrew W. Mellon Founda- tion, the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Robert Bosch Stiftung. Beyond the individual research projects pursued, many events drew groups of scholars together for lectures and discussions that facilitated the exchange of ideas across fields and regions.These included a regular series 9 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 21/25/1012:11PMPage10 10 SCHOOLOFHISTORICALSTUDIES

He also taught a weekly seminar on the Manchu language (for graduate students) at Princeton University in innovations, and economic fall 2008, an experience he found especially rewarding. development. As per public appearances, he lectured in the United States, Italy, and Japan at the following universities: Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Florence, Padova, Kyoto, Hitotsubashi, and Kansai. Additionally, he was invited to present a paper at the International Conference of Eastern Studies organized in Tokyo by the Toh- o- Gakkai (Institute of Eastern Culture). During the academic year 2008–09, Professor Jonathan Israel advanced further toward completing the third volume of his series on the intellectual history of the Western Enlightenment covering the period 1750 to 1790. Most of this volume now exists in rough draft. His foreign research during this period brought him to libraries in Munich, Gotha, London, New York, Lima, Sucre in Bolivia, and Amsterdam, where in October 2008 he gave a brief address in connection with his being awarded the 2008 Heineken Prize for History. He also completed a short book on the Enlightenment due to be published by Princeton University Press in the autumn of 2009. He gave visiting lectures during the academic year at Queen Mary College, London, and in Munich, Gotha, Haarlem, Utrecht, Groningen, and Seoul. At Gotha, where he spoke to an international gathering of Latin American-

ists, he delivered his first lecture introducing the concept of Radical STUDIES HISTORICAL OF SCHOOL Enlightenment in the context of the New World as pre-echoing the later independence movement in the sphere of ideas. Besides several book reviews, his publications during this session were: “Bayle’s Double Image during the Enlightenment” in Pierre Bayle (1747–1706) le Philosophe de Rotterdam, edited by Wiep van Bunge and Hans Bots (Leiden, 2008); “Romeyn de Hooghe (ca. 1645–1708): Engraver, Inventor and Republican,” in Materialen van de Internazionale Wetenschap- pelijke Conferentie “Rusland-Nederland”: Op het Kruispunt van Meningen, edited by Natalia P.

ized by former Institute Member Markus Asper. In late May, he gave the lecture “Evidence and Proofs that Amount to Nothing?” at the Caltech symposium “The Temper of Evidence.” In the early summer of 2009, he presented the talk “Hellenistic Medicine: Reception, Transmission, and Loss” at the University of Helsinki in conjunction with a conference on Constantine the African’s Liber Pantegni and the transmission of Greek medical traditions to the Latin West via Byzantium and the Arabic world. The conference was prompted by the recent identification of a large part of the text of Constantine’s famous work in a twelfth-century manuscript in Helsinki. He gave another talk, “Ars longa, vita brevis: Migrations of Greek Medicine from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period,” on the topic at the National Library of Finland where the manuscript was on display. Professor von Staden spoke In addition to several book reviews, he published a number of articles, at a conference held at the including “Animals, Women, and Pharmaka in the Hippocratic Corpus,” in University of Helsinki on Femmes en Médecine.Actes de la Journée Internationale d’Étude Organisée à l’U- Constantine the African’s Liber niversité René-Descartes-Paris V en l’Honneur de Danielle Gourevitch, edited by Pantegni and the transmission Véronique Boudon-Millot, Véronique Dasen, and Brigitte Maire (Paris: Collection Médic, De Boccard, 2008); and “The Discourses of Practition- of Greek medical traditions to ers on Medical Ethics in Ancient Europe” in The CambridgeWorld History of the Latin West via Byzantium Medical Ethics, edited by Robert B. Baker and Laurence B. McCullough and the Arabic world. (Cambridge University Press, 2009). He also wrote several further chapters of his long-term project on the relation between scientific collectivities and individual scientists in antiquity. Professor Emeritus Glen W. Bowersock traveled abroad several times to pay tribute to two scholars whom he had known well and deeply respected. One was Arnaldo Momigliano, whom he remembered in October at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa on the centennial of his birth.The other was Louis Robert, whom he remembered in November on the tenth anniversary of Mme Robert’s gift of her husband’s archives to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. Bowersock, who is in charge of those archives, joined in a day-long presentation of research based upon documents in the Fonds Louis Robert. The meeting was a joint session of the Collège de France and the Académie organized by Denis Knoepfler. Two

weeks later Bowersock returned to Paris to deliver a formal address on STUDIES HISTORICAL OF SCHOOL Louis Robert at the rentrée solennelle of the Académie held under the coupola of the Institut de France. In March, Bowersock delivered a paper in London on Strabo and Mithridates Eupator in a series of seminars on Strabo arranged by former Member Simon Hornblower, and later in that month he went to Berlin to deliver the keynote address at a symposium on Dionysus at the Pergamon Museum. He flew to Florence in early May to chair the Consiglio Scientifico of the Istituto di Studi Umanistici. The volume East andWest (Harvard University Press, 2008) brought together, with an introduction by Aldo Schiavone, the papers presented at a symposium at Princeton University on the occasion of Bowersock’s retirement in 2006. Former Members Corey Brennan and Harriet Flower took the initiative in this entire project. Bowersock is profoundly grateful to them and to all the contributors. His own book From Gibbon to Auden: Essays on the Classical Tradition was published in March 2009 by Oxford University Press. In addition, Bowersock published a number of articles, some in scholarly 15 1-22_A_RTTcp.x:aot221/032 MPg 16 Page PM 3:24 2/16/10 2 copy.qxp:Layout S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT 16 SCHOOLOFHISTORICALSTUDIES

During the 2008–09 academic year, the School of Mathematics held a special program on “Geometric Par- tial Differential Equations.”

GEOMETRIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS Professor Alice Chang of Princeton University organized the special program for the year and was the School’s Distinguished Visiting Professor for 2008–09. The main theme of the program was to combine the latest developments in geometry and fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE). The topics were: study of the eigenvalues of Ricci curvatures using methods in fully nonlinear PDE, mass transport problems, free boundary value problems, the role played by the fractional Laplacian operators, and connecting developments in these problems in the geometric setting. The major activities of the special year consisted of six mini-courses, three in each term, during

which leading experts in the field each gave four lectures on a specific topic. Each course consisted of four MATHEMATICS OF SCHOOL one-hour lectures. During the first term, Member Matthew Gursky gave a course on “Fully Nonlinear Equations in Conformal Geometry”; Member Andrea Malchiodi on “Q-curvature, Analytic and Geomet- ric Structures”; and Member Neil Trudinger on “Mass Transport Problem.” Courses during the second term were given by Member Luis Caffarelli on “Issues in Homogenization for Problems with Nondivergence Structure”; Member Cédric Villani on “Curvature and Regularity of Opti- mal Transport”; and Blaine Lawson on “Dirichlet Duality and the Nonlinear Dirichlet Problem Part I: For Domains in Rn” and “Part II: On Riemannian Manifolds.” Year-long weekly seminars were held, usually about two talks per week, during which either Institute Members presented their own research work or an invited visitor gave a guest lecture.The von Neumann Lecture was given in the first term by leading geometer Rich Schoen from Stanford University. Gerhard Huisken of the Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany gave the Marston Morse Lecture in the second term. 23 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 21/25/109:06AMPage24 24 SCHOOLOFMATHEMATICS

The Institute for Advanced Study and the School of Mathematics appreciate the dedication of the senior women who have graciously given their time and talents since the inception of the program in 1994. Organiz- ers, program committee members, and lecturers have all contributed to the growth and success of the women’s program. In the past sixteen years, many women in the field of mathematics or contemplating entering the field have been encouraged and supported by Karen Uhlenbeck, the program founder, and her collaborator and co-organizer Chuu-Lian Terng.Their commitment to the goals of the program has been unparalleled. At the conclusion of each year’s program, questionnaires are distributed to the participants to obtain feedback about the organization, structure, and quality of the program. Both undergraduates and graduate students expressed their sincere appreciation about being selected to participate in the program. Many commented that as a result of the program they felt a sense of excitement about their math studies and fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with so many women with common interests.

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES In 2008–09, Professor Stephen L. Adler continued his work on the phenomenology of modified forms of quantum theory, while devoting most of his effort to a new project dealing with constraints on and implications of planet-bound dark matter. In work relating to modified forms of quantum theory,Adler wrote a paper in collaboration with Angelo Bassi that continued their analysis of models of spontaneous wave function collapse with stochastic dynamics driven by non-white Gaussian noise.Their work focused on a model in which a classical “noise” field, with specified autocorrelator, is coupled to a local nonrelativistic particle density.They derived general results in this model for the rates of density matrix diagonalization and state vector reduction, and showed that both processes are governed by essentially the same rate parameters.As an alternative route to the reduction results, they also derived the Fokker-Planck equations that correspond to SCIENCES NATURAL OF SCHOOL the initial stochastic Schrödinger equation. For specific models of the noise autocorrelator, including ones motivated by the structure of thermal Green’s functions, they discussed the dependence of the reduction rate on model parameters.As another aspect of his continuing involvement in fundamentals of quantum theory, Adler accepted a three-year term, starting January 1, 2009, as Divisional Associate Editor for “Foundations of Quantum Mechanics” for Physical Review Letters. Adler wrote three papers dealing with aspects of possible planet-bound dark matter. In the first, he showed that by comparing the total mass (in gravitational units) of the earth-moon system, as determined by lunar laser ranging, with the sum of the lunar mass as determined by its gravitational action on satellites or asteroids, and the earth mass as determined by the LAGEOS geodetic survey satellite,one can get a direct measure of the mass of earth-bound dark matter lying between the radius of the moon’s orbit and the geodetic satellite orbit. Current data show that the mass of such earth-bound dark matter must be less than 4 x 10-9 of the earth’s mass. Two other papers studied implications of possible planet-bound dark matter. Adler suggested that accretion of planet-bound dark matter by the Jovian planets could be a significant source of their internal heat. The anomalously low internal heat of Uranus would then be explained if the collision believed to have 39 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 21/20/107:39AMPage40 40 SCHOOLOFNATURALSCIENCES

relations in an on-shell form that begs to be transformed into twistor space. The twistor transformation proposed by Arkani-Hamed and his collaborators is inspired by Witten’s, but differs in treating twistor and dual twistor variables more equally. In these variables the three- and four-point amplitudes are amazingly simple; the BCFW relations are represented by The twistor transformation diagrammatic rules that finally realize Roger Penrose’s dream, dating from proposed by Professor Arkani- 1970, to relate scattering amplitudes to “twistor diagrams.” Indeed,Arkani- Hamed, et al., precisely defined a version of “twistor diagrams” vigorously Hamed and his collaborators is developed in recent years by Andrew Hodges. The “Hodges diagrams” for inspired by Professor Witten’s, Yang-Mills theory are disks and not trees; they reveal striking connections but differs in treating twistor between amplitudes and suggest a new form for them in momentum space. and dual twistor variables Arkani-Hamed and his collaborators also obtained a twistorial formulation more equally. In these variables of gravity. All tree amplitudes can be combined into an “S-Matrix” functional, which is the natural holographic observable in asymptotically flat the three- and four-point space; the BCFW formula turns into a quadratic equation for this “S- amplitudes are amazingly Matrix,” providing a holographic description of N=4 SYM and N=8 simple; the BCFW relations are supergravity at tree level. They explored loop amplitudes in (2,2) signature represented by diagrammatic and twistor space, beginning with a discussion of IR behavior.They found rules that finally realize that the natural pole prescription renders the amplitudes well-defined and free of IR divergences. Loop amplitudes vanish for generic momenta, and Roger Penrose’s dream, in twistor space are even simpler than their tree-level counterparts. This dating from 1970, to relate further supports the idea that there exists a sharply defined object corre- scattering amplitudes to sponding to the S-Matrix in (2,2) signature, computed by a dual theory “twistor diagrams.” naturally living in twistor space. During the 2008–09 academic year, Professor Peter Goldreich investigated synchronous, or near synchronous, spinning satellites with ice shells and subsurface oceans, which are an intriguing class of solar system bodies. Part of their appeal is the possibility that the oceans could support life. Current- ly, Jupiter’s satellite Europa and Saturn’s satellite Titan are the prime candidates for membership in this class. The induced magnetic field of Europa as measured by the magnetometer on the Galileo spacecraft essentially proves the presence of a current-carrying, near-surface liquid layer, i.e., a salty subsurface ocean. All mechanisms proposed for creating the observed morphologies of cracks on Europa’s surface require the presence of a near-surface fluid layer. Most also invoke an immeasurably slow, super-synchronous spin of the ice shell due to tidal torques associated with the satellite’s orbital eccentricity. Models of Titan’s thermal evolution are consistent with the presence of a subsurface ocean. Moreover, motions of its surface features as tracked by the Cassini spacecraft’s radar have been interpreted as implying a slow, nonsynchronous rotation. This is explained as driven by a seasonally changing atmospheric torque acting on an ice shell decoupled from the interior by a subsurface ocean. As a result of centrifugal and tidal forces, the interiors of Europa and Titan have ellipsoidal figures whose longest axes point toward the parent planet. Thus a nonsynchronously spinning shell must suffer time-dependent elastic SCHOOLOFNATURALSCIENCES strains. These give rise to an elastic torque that opposes those driving the nonsynchronous spin. In the investigation reported on here, the elastic torque is compared with the tidal torque acting on Europa and the atmos- 42 pheric torque acting on Titan.

They presented a reformulation of the correlation functions used in the theory, and further elucidated their infrared and ultraviolet properties. Additionally they clarified the issue of ultraviolet sensitivity in the calculation of the soft masses in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), highlighting the role of the supertrace over the messenger spectrum. Finally, they presented weakly coupled messenger models that fully cover the parameter space of general gauge mediation. These examples demonstrate that the full parameter space of these theories is physical and realizable. Thus, it should be considered a valid basis for future phenomeno- logical explorations of gauge mediation. With Member Zohar Komargodski, Seiberg addressed the mu-problem in the context of general gauge mediation. They classified possible models depending on the way the Higgs fields couple to the supersymmetry breaking hidden sector. The different types of models have distinct signatures in the MSSM parameters. They exhibited concrete and surprisingly simple examples based on messengers in each class. With Members Tomer Volansky and Brian Wecht, Seiberg described a framework for gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking in which the messengers are charged under the hidden sector gauge group, but do not play a role in breaking supersymmetry. From this point of view, this frame- COLO AUA SCIENCES NATURAL OF SCHOOL work is between ordinary gauge mediation and direct mediation. As an example, they considered the 3-2 model of dynamical supersymmetry breaking, and added to it massive messengers which are SU(2) doublets. They briefly discussed the phenomenology of this scenario. With Komargodski, Seiberg conducted a careful analysis of the Fayet- Iliopoulos model that showed that its energy momentum tensor and supersymmetry current are not gauge invariant. Since the corresponding charges are gauge invariant, the model is consistent. However, these observations about the currents give a new perspective on its restrictive renormalization group flow and explain why Fayet-Iliopoulos terms never appear in dynamical supersymmetry breaking. This lack of gauge invariance is at the root of the complications of coupling the model to supergravity. They showed that this is possible only if the full supergravity theory (including all higher derivative corrections) has an additional exact continuous global symmetry. A consistent quantum gravity theory cannot have such symmetries, and hence Fayet-Iliopoulos terms cannot appear.

results provide predictions for the distribution of wide binary stars that can be tested with the next generation of large-scale surveys of the solar neighborhood, and can be used to constrain the nature of the dark matter or other mass concentrations near the sun. In the summer of 2008, Edward Witten, Charles Simonyi Professor, completed two projects that had been in progress for a while. One, with long- term Member Davide Gaiotto, was a study of how supersymmetric boundary conditions in four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory transform under electric-magnetic duality. The two-dimensional analog of this question has been important in string theory, but the four-dimensional case had not been investigated. The second project, with Sergei Gukov, concerned the problem of quantization. The general notion of quantization of classical phase spaces is surprisingly unclear, despite its seemingly central place in physics. Gukov and Witten proposed a new perspective on this problem using branes and two- dimensional field theory. In the winter of 2008–09,Witten carried out a study of Taub-NUT spaces, which are some of the simplest non-flat solutions of general relativity, showing how their construction can be understood using D-branes. He also used D-branes to investigate instantons on these spaces, and applied the results to describe a new duality involving M-theory. In the spring of 2009,Witten continued his work on the relation between gauge theory and the geometric Langlands correspondence. He wrote up lectures he gave at the Institute in 2008 on the use of six-dimensional superconformal field theory (discovered in the 1990s from string theory) to Professor Emeritus Freeman Dyson spoke relate instantons on Taub-NUT spaces to Kac-Moody algebras.This gives a at the Institute in November following a gauge theory approach to a higher-dimensional analog of geometric Lang- screening of a documentary about the making of Doctor Atomic, an opera lands duality. Witten also used gauge theory, and his results with Gaiotto about J. Robert Oppenheimer, former mentioned above, to construct a new approach to some slightly mysterious Institute Director (1947–66). group theory results that have been discovered by mathematicians exploring geometric Langlands. COLO AUA SCIENCES NATURAL OF SCHOOL During 2008–09, Professor Emeritus Freeman J. Dyson has kept busy traveling, giving public lectures on a variety of subjects, and writing book reviews. He has not done any significant scientific research.

he School of Social Science invited nineteen scholars from a pool of 208 applicants from the Unit- ed States and abroad to be part of the School’s scholarly community as Members for the 2008–09 T academic year. Eleven Visitors and one Research Assistant also participated in the year’s activities. The Florence Gould Foundation helped to support a Member from France. Other Members were funded through endowments created by gifts from Institute Trustee Roger W. Ferguson Jr. and his wife Annette L. Nazareth, Richard B. Fisher, and Deutsche Bank. A grant from the Leon Levy Foundation also supported a Member. Fields of inquiry of the group included law, political science, economics, anthropology, history, philosophy, and sociology. The thematic focus for 2008–09 was “Social Norms and Cooperation.” Social norms are necessary for human cooperation:only if individuals know what behavior is acceptable and what is not are they likely to act collaboratively in their group, community, or society. Even so, such norms are not sufficient for collaboration. One norm may conflict with another, and within the same society different groups may disagree about what the shared standards should be. Because of the importance of social norms and the contention they generate, their analysis embraces virtually all the social sciences (as well as other disciplines, such as neu- roscience, ecology, and evolutionary biology).Thus, for example, ethnographers detail the great variability in norms (and the penalties for breaching them) across different cultures. Historians study the factors that lead to changes in the formal and informal rules of conduct that regulate economic, familial, and social transac-

tions. Economists are interested in circumstances in which shared norms interfere with market functioning, SCIENCE SOCIAL OF SCHOOL on the one hand, and solve market failures, on the other. Legal scholars examine the interplay between norms, whose violation carries informal sanctions, and laws, for which there are institutionalized mechanisms for punishment. Political theorists and political scientists argue about the relative significance of norms and interests in regulating public and international affairs. Social psychologists seek to understand why individuals conform to social norms and why they punish those who do not. In addition, all of these scholars share an interest in the question of whether social norms have a constructive role to play in societal efforts to regulate behavior. How do particular attitudes and behaviors become social norms? How do norms serve to promote cooperation? What are their other effects? The thematic year was led by Eric S. Maskin, Albert O. Hirschman Professor, in consultation with Simon A. Levin, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Deborah A. Prentice, Professor of Psychology, both of Princeton University. The School conducted three seminar series—the Social Science Thursday Luncheon Seminar; the “Social Norms and Cooperation”Thematic Seminar, which alternated weeks in the fall semester meeting at the Institute and with a larger group at Princeton University; and the “Non-normative Seminar,”which drew together those Members whose work was not applicable to the year’s formal theme. The School also continued publication of 57 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 21/25/109:06AMPage58 58 SCHOOLOFSOCIALSCIENCE

The Libraries

he Historical Studies–Social Science Library (Marcia Tucker, Librarian) contains some 120,000 volumes and has subscriptions to over 1,000 journals. The Library is strongest in classical studies, ancient history, and Tarchaeology, but it contains basic document collections, reference works, and important secondary works of scholarship in most fields of history and the social sciences. The journal collection is extensive, and fairly complete back runs exist to the founding of the Institute.The HS-SS Library has occupied its present building since 1964. The Institute’s rare book collection, the gift of Lessing J. Rosenwald, consists of about 2,000 volumes on the history of science and was compiled by Herbert M. Evans in the 1930s.The collection, which is housed in a special room, includes numerous first editions of important scientific works in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and the life sciences. Additional volumes have been added through various gifts, most notably through the Leon Levy Fund, expanding the subject scope of the collection. The HS-SS Library continues to process books from the library of Walther Heissig, a noted Central Asian–studies scholar. Walther Heissig’s library came to the Institute partly as a gift and partly on deposit from the Princeton University East Asian Studies Department and Princeton University Library. The HS-SS Library has an extensive collection of offprints including those received by Professors Andrew E. Z. Alföldi, Marshall Clagett, Kurt Gödel, Ernst H. Kantorowicz, Elias Avery Lowe, Millard Meiss, Erwin Panofsky, and Harry Woolf and former Members Robert Huygens and Walther Kirchner. The microfilm collections of the HS-SS Library include a large selection from Manuscripta, a collection of several thousand fifteenth- to nineteenth-century printed books from the Vatican Library. The Bavarian Academy in 1965 provided the Institute with a microfilm copy of slips presented for the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae along with recent additional material on CD.The library has microfilm copies of the papers of Kurt Gödel and Simone Weil. The Library houses the Institute archives.The records in the collection date from the 1930s and include official correspondence of the Director’s Office, minutes of meetings of the Faculty and the Board of Trustees, correspondence concerning past Faculty and Members, records of the Electronic Computer Project, and the papers of select Faculty members. The archives also include the Institute’s photograph collection and a growing oral history collection. Through the generosity of the Leon Levy Foundation, the archives have been expanded significantly and are now staffed by a full-time archivist and archival assistant. The Shelby White and Leon Levy Archives Center enables the Institute to formally organize and preserve the important historical materials already in its possession and to serve as a repository for other essential source materials moving forward. The gift reflects the continuing, dedicated support of InstituteTrustee Shelby White and the Leon Levy Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation formed after the death of White’s husband Leon Levy, a leading financier who served as an Institute Trustee from 1988 to 2003. The Mathematics–Natural Sciences Library (Momota Ganguli, Librarian) is based in Fuld Hall, with smaller departmental branches in Bloomberg Hall, and compact shelving spread across campus. The collection, which includes about 30,000 volumes of monographs and bound periodicals as well as 160 print and/or electronic subscriptions, spans pure and applied mathematics, astrophysics, theoretical and mathematical physics, and biology. The M–NS Library has an extensive collection of the collected works of mathematicians including those of Cauchy, Descartes, Fermat, Gauss, Hardy, and Poincaré. Each year, the M–NS Library adds about three hundred books to its collection. Both of the Institute’s libraries participate in the shared cataloguing system OCLC, which gives Institute scholars com- puterized access to a database that is in use by 57,000 libraries in 112 countries. The Institute is a member of the RLG H LIBRARIES THE Program SHARES partnership, a resource-sharing program. The Institute’s Web-accessible online catalogue provides holdings information for the libraries and is accessible via http://library.hs.ias.edu from anywhere in the world. The Historical Studies–Social Science Library maintains computers that provide access to scanners, a variety of software packages for both PCs and Macintoshes, and databases in the fields of Classics, the history of science, and Islamic and French studies. The M-NS Library’s electronic resources include access to Math-SciNet, an online catalogue, a variety of indexes, and a growing collection of full-text journals. All scholars affiliated with the Institute enjoy the same privileges as Princeton University faculty in the Princeton University Library system. All scholars also have privileges in the Robert E. Speer Library of the Princeton Theological Seminary. The Librarians and the Faculty of all four Schools at the Institute warmly appreciate gifts of books and publications from former and current Members of the Institute. 65 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 2 1/20/10 7:39 AM Page 66

The IAS Community

or seventy-nine years, the Institute for Advanced Study has had a profound influence on the fields of study represented here: Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science. Any Fday at lunch or tea, you will hear leading scientists and scholars from around the world discussing topics as diverse as the response to terrorism, how to combat the next influenza virus, fourteenth-century Mongolian history, the very latest developments in string theory, and the mathematical basis of computer security. Members, who typically stay for one year but may stay for up to five years, live together with their families in housing adjacent to the Institute campus in what might be described as a true academic village. Throughout the year, the Office of the Director hosts a broad range of concerts, lectures, programs, and forums, as listed on the following pages. In addition, the Institute offers a series of activities for Members, Visitors, and their families. In the 2008–09 academic year, these included films, play readings, ballroom dancing classes, yoga, tennis lessons, trips to museums and other cultural sites, and activities for children in the Institute community.

Artist-in-Residence Program

Paul Moravec, Composer

he 2008–09 academic year marked the second season of “Tradition Redefined,”led by Pulitzer Prize- winning composer Paul Moravec, who served this year as Artistic Consultant to the Institute. “Tradi- Ttion Redefined” was developed to explore the wide variety of aesthetic perspectives in art music, especially of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, through chamber music concerts and talks. The EdwardT. Cone Concert Series began with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, which performed a com- missioned piece by Moravec, Brandenburg Gate. Orpheus premiered this piece at Carnegie Hall the week following their Institute appearance. The Orpheus concerts, which were scheduled back-to-back on Saturday rather than the usual Friday and Saturday performances, also featured the Haydn Symphony No. 59 in A Major.The second concert weekend of the season featured cellist Matt Haimovitz, who was joined by pianist Geoffrey Burleson in a program of music by Beethoven, Elliott Carter, Samuel Barber, and Moravec. The spring concerts began with performances by eighth blackbird and featured the music of contemporary com- posers including Franco Donatoni, Kati Agócs, Frederic Rzewski, Stephen Hartke, Thomas Adès, Dennis DeSantis, Roshanne Etezady, and Moravec. The final concerts of the season featured a return visit by Trio Solisti, this time accompanied by soprano Amy Burton. Music included works by Schubert, Brahms, Mus- sorgsky, and the world premiere of Moravec’s Vita Brevis. In addition to directing “Tradition Redefined,” during the 2008–09 year Moravec composed a Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, which had its premiere by the Princeton Symphony Orchestra in January 2009, two pieces for Charles Simonyi, Chairman of the Institute’s Board of Trustees, and BoardVice Chairman Martin Leibowitz in October 2008, and several short works for the New Jersey Music Teachers Association. He also composed Mortal Flesh for Quartet New Generation and Quattrocelli for 4inCorrespondence. His opera The Letter was scheduled to premiere at the Santa Fe Opera in July 2009. Moravec returned to his position as University Professor at Adelphi University when his term ended on June 30, 2009.

Director’s Visitors Director’sVisitors, scholars who work in a variety of fields, including areas not represented in the Schools, contribute much to the vitality of the Institute.They are invited to the Institute for varying periods of time,depending on the nature of their work.

Peter Clarke, Emeritus Professor of Modern British History at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the British Academy, expected to work on Winston Churchill and the concept of the English-speaking peo- ples. He gave a well-attended lecture to the Friends of the Institute for Advanced Study on February 4,“The Two Careers of Winston S. Churchill,” which explored the seriousness of Churchill’s commitment—and earnings—as a writer. However, with the economic crisis and the debate over appropriate responses to it, Clarke decided to revive his earlier research on John Maynard Keynes, with a new study of the economist’s continuing relevance.The book that resulted, Keynes:TheTwentieth Century’s Most Influential Economist, will be published by Bloomsbury in NewYork and London in September. Its foundations were laid at the Institute, not only through the availability of research facilities but also through the intellectual stimulation of Clarke’s many informal discussions with other scholars.

The greatest luxury one can have in a career is that of failure and this year in fine surroundings and good company Tom Phillips (painter, writer, composer) failed to come up with the thought goods in two projects. This was of great value to him. In Samuel Beckett’s words: No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

Maria Tippett, former Senior Research Fellow of Churchill College at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada whose books have dealt with the cultural history of Canada and Britain, came to the Institute to complete work on a very different area of study: the family biography of Paul and Sonia Ho whose son, David Ho, is not only a distinguished scientist but also Director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in NewYork. During her stay at the Institute,Tippett not only completed her book, Family Matters, she benefited from the expertise of two scholars in radically different fields: School of Historical StudiesVisitor Miaw-fen Lu of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan and Arnold Levine, Professor in the School of Natural Sciences. In addition, she enjoyed VISITORS DIRECTOR’S the lively discussions and weekly seminars.

Graduate Summer School and Research Program The Graduate Summer School and the Research Program were organized by Professors Cristian Popescu, University of California, San Diego; Karl Rubin, University of California, Irvine; and Alice Silverberg, University of California, Irvine. This year’s program focused on recent developments in the area of special values of L-functions.The main themes were Stark’s conjecture, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, their generalizations, and related topics. With the addition of financial support from institutional and individual research grants, the program was able to accommodate seventy-seven graduate student participants and fifty-five researchers. The stimulating environment of PCMI will leave a lasting mark on the field through the many students who were able to benefit from the courses and from the collaborations forged among the research participants.

THE GRADUATE SUMMER SCHOOL The 2009 Graduate Summer School included a series of lectures to introduce Stark’s conjecture and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, and a series of lectures describing the methods used to attack these conjectures over the past thirty years, as well as current research.The speakers did an excellent job of making their lectures as accessible as possible to the students. In addition to daily discussion sessions, there were eight series of lectures, each consisting of approximately five lec-

tures, plus two special lectures: “Intro- CAROL HATTAN duction to Stark’s Conjectures,” John Participants in the Secondary SchoolTeachers Program spent three weeks learning Tate, University of Texas,Austin; “Root mathematics and reflecting on what it means to teach mathematics.

On the final afternoon there was an extended session of graduate student presentations.The student participants had an opportunity to give short talks on their work to an audience of their peers and experts in the field.

THE RESEARCH PROGRAM The Research Program consisted of two daily talks given by experts in the field. In addition, most of the Research Program participants attended the Graduate Summer School lectures, and there was plenty of time available for informal discussions. A complete list of the Research Program seminars may be found in the IAS/PCMI Annual Report posted at http://pcmi.ias.edu.

CLAY MATHEMATICS INSTITUTE SENIOR SCHOLARS-IN-RESIDENCE Through the generous support of the Clay Mathematics Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts, PCMI welcomed three Senior Scholars-in-Residence to the 2009 Summer Session: John Tate of the University of Texas at Austin, Benedict Gross of Harvard University, and Bryan Birch of the University of Oxford. All three Scholars played pivotal roles in the Research Program, both formally and informally. 75 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 21/20/107:39AMPage76 76 IAS/PCMI oeta rilso neetn n sflmteaista ilb etdi lsroswe appropriate, website.

Designing and Delivering Professional Development During the second week of the SSTP program, fourteen mathematics supervisors and university faculty attended the one-week workshop on Designing and Delivering Professional Development (DDPD). The goals of the DDPD program are to provide professional development for the leaders of PCMI’s PDO groups and PCMI’s PD3 project, allow experienced PDO leaders to mentor new ones, allow the PDO and PD3 leaders to interact with their participants in the SSTP, and encourage the formation of new PDO groups. The DDPD participants attended some SSTP sessions and, under the leadership of Johnny Lott from the University of Mississippi, spent time considering the role of functions and their treatment in secondary mathematics and in professional development programs.

International Seminar on Mathematics Education Begun in 2001, the annual PCMI International Seminar “Mathematics Education: Bridging Policy and Prac- tice” brings diverse perspectives and practices to a U.S. national dialogue on mathematics education. The 2009 International Seminar focused on the topic of functions: the teaching of functions and teacher preparation for the teaching of functions, as well as the implications of technology and the mathematical knowledge needed by teachers working with this concept. This year’s seminar brought teams from Australia, Cambodia, Denmark, Israel, Namibia, Peru, and Vietnam to work with a team from the U.S. Each country was invited to send two participants: a currently practicing teacher and an educational policy or university person. During the seminar, team members presented a response based on their country’s view of secondary education to specific questions related to function and the teaching of functions. Participants raised clarifying questions and discussed the implications of the response from the perspective of their own cultures.

Cross Program Activities Cross Program Activities take many forms and are a defining feature of PCMI, serving to build understanding, professional respect, and a sense of shared purpose among all the constituents of the mathematical enterprise. Formal and informal Cross Program Activities were held in the afternoons and evenings during the 2009 Summer Session. Informal activities included building an entry for, and participating in, the Annual Park City Fourth of July Parade, the opening and closing dinners for participants and their families, an ice cream social hosted by the SSTP, the PCMI Film Festival, and a session of building structures with Zometools (also hosted by the SSTP). Formal Cross Program Activities included the following presentations:“The Essential Unity of Mathematics: From a Problem in High School Mathematics to Current Research,” Bill McCallum, University of Arizona; “Canonical Forms:A Mathematician’s View of Musical Canons,” Noam Elkies, Harvard University; “Devel- opment of Mathematics Circles in North America,” Hugo Rossi and Emina Alibegovic, University of Utah; “Pell’s Equation,” Keith Conrad, University of Connecticut; “Cryptography: How to Keep a Secret,”Alice Silverberg, University of California, Irvine; “Pizza and Problem Solving,” (two sessions), Andrew Bernoff, Harvey Mudd College. The Clay Senior Scholars-in-Residence gave two public lectures:“An Introduction to the Birch and Swin-

nerton-Dyer Conjecture,” Benedict Gross of Harvard University; and “Infinite Sums, from Zeno to Taylor to IAS/PCMI Euler to Dirichlet,” John Tate of the University of Texas at Austin.

PD3: PCMI and Districts Partner to Design Professional Development Through the Math Science Partnership grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2003, PCMI became the prototype “institute” for the nationwide project. PCMI’s award expired in the summer of 2009, and our site projects located in New Mexico,Texas, and Washington are winding down their activities. 77 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 21/20/107:39AMPage78 78 IAS/PCMI mtc natre col )tahr pnterdos(oclege,amnsrtr,adprns n make and parents) PD and the administrators, colleagues, support administrators’ (to building doors and their open district teachers b) a) public; school: teaching target a in ematics emga fifsn hspoeso mrvmn oohrshosadeetal oteetr district. entire the the of aspects to key eventually adopted having and district schools school the other with to Seattle, long- improvement in PD the goal of of with this school, offerings toward process individual made of this the needs been is the has infusing change to Progress mathemati- of unique of university unit are goal anticipated with that The concert term offerings curriculum. development in and professional work teachers each design school’s administrators In to each district District). educators and School mathematics Gadsden and teachers cians neighboring the the schools/districts, (including the Mexico of New Cruces, Las and Texas; McAllen, h A/akCt ahmtc nttt a aepsil ytegnrst ftefloigfunders: following the of generosity the by possible made was Institute Mathematics City at IAS/Park available The Report Annual the in Funding included Math is the by publications PCMI’s created website of special list a full the via http://pcmi.ias.edu.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Trustees Institute for Advanced Study–Louis Bamberger and Mrs. Felix Fuld Foundation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Institute for Advanced Study–Louis Bamberger and Mrs. Felix Fuld Foundation (the Institute) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Institute’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Institute’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Institute for Advanced Study–Louis Bamberger and Mrs. Felix Fuld Foundation as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008

(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization The Institute for Advanced Study—Louis Bamberger and Mrs. Felix Fuld Foundation (the Institute), an independent, private institution devoted to the encouragement, support and patronage of learning, was founded in 1930 as a community of scholars where intellectual inquiry could be carried out in the most favorable circumstances. Focused on mathematics and classical studies at the outset, the Institute today consists of the School of Historical Studies, the School of Mathematics, the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Social Science. Each school has a small permanent faculty, and some 190 fellowships are awarded annually to visiting members from other research institutions and universities throughout the world. The objectives of the Institute were described as follows in the Founders’ original letter to the first Trustees: “The primary purpose is the pursuit of advanced learning and exploration in fields of pure science and high scholarship to the utmost degree that the facilities of the institution and the ability of the faculty and students will permit.”

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements, which are presented on the accrual basis of accounting, have been prepared to focus on the Institute as a whole and to present net assets and revenues, expenses, gains, and losses based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified as follows: • Permanently restricted net assets—net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the Institute. Generally, the donors of these assets permit the Institute to use all or part of the income earned on related investments for general or specific purposes. • Temporarily restricted net assets—net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that will be met by actions of the Institute and/or by the passage of time. • Unrestricted net assets—net assets not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. Unrestricted net assets may be designated for specific purposes by action of the board of trustees. Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless use of the related asset is limited by donor-imposed restrictions. Expenses are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets. Expiration of donor-imposed stipulations that simultaneously increase unrestricted net assets and decrease temporarily restricted net assets are reported as net assets released from restrictions. Temporarily restricted revenues received and expended during the same fiscal year REPORT AUDITORS’ INDEPENDENT are recorded as unrestricted revenues and expenses in the statements of activities. Contributions and investment returns with donor-imposed restrictions are reported as temporarily restricted revenues and are reclassified to unrestricted net assets when an expense is incurred that satisfies the donor-imposed restriction. Contributions of long-lived assets are reported as unrestricted revenue. Contributions restricted for the acquisition of grounds, buildings, and equipment are reported as temporarily restricted revenues. These contributions are reclassified to unrestricted net assets upon acquisition of the assets.

(a) Contributions Contributions, including unconditional promises to give, are recognized as revenues in the period received. Conditional promises to give are not recognized until they become unconditional, that is when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met. Contributions of assets other than cash are recorded at their estimated fair value. Pledges of contributions to be received after one year are discounted at a risk-adjusted discount rate. The discount rates range from 0.56% to 1.11%. Amortization of discount is recorded as additional contribution revenue in accordance with donor-imposed restrictions, if any, on the contributions.

(b) Investments All investments, including short-term investments, investments in marketable securities, limited partnerships and hedge and offshore funds, are reported in the financial statements at fair value or net asset value as a practical expe- 99 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 2 1/25/10 9:06 AM Page 100

dient, based upon values provided by external investment managers, general partners or quoted market value. The Institute reviews and evaluates the values provided by external investment managers and general partners and agrees with the valuation methods and assumptions used in determining the fair value of funds. These estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these securities existed. The statements of activities recognize unrealized gains and losses on investments as increases and decreases, respectively, in unrestricted net assets unless their use is temporarily or permanently restricted by explicit donor stipulation. Purchase and sale transactions are recorded on a settlement-date basis. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are calculated using the specific identification method. The Institute regularly offers first mortgages on primary residences to full-time faculty and senior administrative employees who have met certain requirements stipulated by the board of trustees.

(c) Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement 157) establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities. • Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted market prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. This category generally includes certain U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate-debt securities and certain alternative investments. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liabilities. This category generally includes certain private debt and equity instruments and alternative investments. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial asset, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial asset. In addition, the disclosed fair values do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time an entire holding of a particular financial asset. Potential taxes and other expenses that would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement are not reflected in amounts disclosed.

(d) Plant Assets and Depreciation Proceeds from the sale of plant assets, if unrestricted, are transferred to operating funds, or, if restricted, to amounts temporarily restricted for plant acquisitions. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis (buildings and capital improvements 20–40 years, equipment 3–6 years).

(e) Deferred Revenue Conditional amounts are recorded initially as deferred restricted revenue, and are reported as revenues when expended in accordance with the terms of the condition.

(f) Split Interest Agreements The Institute is the beneficiary of various unitrusts, pooled income funds and a gift annuity fund.The Institute’s interest in these split interest agreements is reported as a contribution in the year received and is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the assets contributed to the Institute, and the estimated liability to the beneficiary. This liability is computed using actuarially determined rates and is adjusted annually.The assets held by the Institute

INDEPENDENTAUDITORS’REPORT under these arrangements are recorded at fair value as determined by quoted market price and are included as a com- ponent of investments. Changes in the life expectancy of the donor or annuitant, amortization of the discount and other changes in the estimates of future payments are reported as endowment change after applying spending policy in the accompanying statements of activities. 100 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 2 1/25/10 9:06 AM Page 101

(g) Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs represent costs incurred in connection with debt financing. Amortization of these costs is provided on the effective interest method extending over the remaining term of the applicable indebtedness. Debt issuance costs at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were net of accumulated amortization of $697,747 and $634,270, respectively.

(h) Other Revenues, Gains and Other Support A portion of long-term investment income and gains and losses is allocated to operating revenue each year in accordance with the Institute’s spending policy for investments held for endowment and similar purposes, as more fully discussed in note 4. All other investment income earned and gains and losses on investments held for long-term purposes and nonrecurring revenue and expenses are considered other revenues, gains and other support in the statements of activities.

(i) Asset Retirement Obligation The Institute recognizes the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with asset retirements in the period in which the obligation is incurred, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations and FASB Interpretation (FIN) 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, if a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the obligation can be made. When the liability is initially recorded, the Institute capitalizes the cost of the asset retirement obligation by increasing the carrying amount of the related long- lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost associated with the retirement obligation is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the obligation, any difference between the cost to settle the asset retirement obligation and the liability recorded is recognized as a gain or loss in the statements of activities.

(j) Fund Raising Expenses Fund raising expenses incurred by the Institute amounted to $1,456,427 and $1,473,629 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This amount is included in administration and general expenses in the accompanying statements of activities.

(k) Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing program services and support services of the Institute have been summarized on a functional basis in the statements of activities. Accordingly, certain operating costs have been allocated among the functional categories.

(l) Tax Status The Institute is exempt from federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and is listed in the Internal Revenue Service Publication 78. The Institute has been classified as a public char- ity under Section 509(a) of the Code. In 2008, the Institute adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the REPORT AUDITORS’ INDEPENDENT accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in an organization’s financial statements and prescribes a threshold of more-likely-than-not for recognition and de-recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides related guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosures. There was no significant impact to the Institute’s financial statements as a result of the adoption of FIN 48.

(m) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(n) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation.

(o) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective July 1, 2008, the Institute adopted Statement 157. Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This pronouncement does not require any new fair value measurements. The effect of the adoption of Statement 157 did not have an effect on the changes in net assets or financial position of the Institute. 101 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 2 1/25/10 9:06 AM Page 102

The Institute elected to adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain EntitiesThat Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), and apply its provisions to its investment portfolio. The guidance amends Statement 157 and permits, as a practical expedient, fair value of investments within its scope to be estimated using net asset value or its equivalent. Effective July 1, 2008, the Institute adopted the provisions of FASB Staff Position FAS 117-1, Endowments of Not-for- Profit Organizations: Net Asset Classification of Funds Subject to an Enacted Version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, and Enhanced Disclosures for All Endowment Funds (FSP 117-1). FSP 117-1 provides guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for a not-for-profit organization that is subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2007 (UPMIFA). FSP 117-1 also improves disclosures about an organization’s donor-restricted and board-designated endowment funds. The State of New Jersey enacted UPMIFA during fiscal year 2009. The effect of the adoption of FSP 117-1 did not have an effect on the change in net assets or financial position of the Institute. Effective June 30, 2009, the Institute adopted SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (Statement 165). Statement 165 establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events and applies to accounting for and disclosures of subsequent events not addressed in other applicable generally accepted accounting principles. The Institute evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2009 and through November 17, 2009, the date on which the financial statements were issued. The adoption of Statement 165 had no impact on the Institute’s financial statements. (2) Contributions Receivable Unconditional promises to give at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

The Institute’s interests in limited partnerships and offshore funds represent 19% and 67%, respectively, and 86% collectively, of total investments held by the Institute at June 30, 2009 and 12% and 78%, respectively, and 90% collectively, of total 102 investments held by the Institute at June 30, 2008. These instruments may contain elements of both credit and market risk. S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 2 1/25/10 9:06 AM Page 103

Such risks include, but are not limited to, limited liquidity, absence of regulatory oversight, dependence upon key individuals, emphasis on speculative investments (both derivatives and nonmarketable investments) and nondisclosure of portfolio composition. The Institute has committed to invest $49,967,003 to its limited partnerships at June 30, 2009. Substantially all of the investments are pooled with each individual fund subscribing to or disposing of units on the basis of the market value per unit, determined on a quarterly basis.

Funds Held by Trustee Funds held by trustee represent the balance of the proceeds from the 2001, 2006 and 2008 New Jersey Educational Facilities Authority (the Authority) bonds that have not yet been expended for construction purposes or debt service payments. These funds are being held in trust by The Bank of NewYork. Such funds are invested in U.S. Government obligations with matu- rities of less than one year. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the market value of such securities approximates their carrying value.

Fair Value Hierarchy The following table presents the Institute’s fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value at June 30, 2009:

Redemption Restrictions – Hedge and Offshore Funds At June 30, 2009, the Institute had hedge and offshore fund investments of approximately $355,336,000, of which approximately $255,334,000 was restricted from redemption for lock up periods. At June 30, 2008, the Institute had hedge and offshore fund investments of approximately $522,138,000, of which approximately $336,931,000 was restricted from redemption for lock up periods. Some of the investments with redemption restrictions allow early redemption for specified fees. The terms and conditions upon which an investor may redeem an investment vary, usually with the majority requiring 30 to 180 days notice after the initial lock up period. 103 S10-02124_IAS_AR_TXT.qxp:Layout 2 1/25/10 9:06 AM Page 104

4) Investment Return and Endowment Spending Policy Investment return consists of interest, dividends, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Each year, the Institute includes a portion of its endowment return in its operating budget, with the amount of such planned support determined using its spending policy.The policy of the Institute is to distribute for current spending a percentage of the fair value of pooled investments which is determined by the Board of Trustees annually. The spending rate was 5.6% and 5.4% for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(5) Endowment The Institute’s endowment consists of approximately 90 individual funds established for a variety of purposes including both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments. Net assets associated with endowments, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

Interpretation of Relevant Law The Institute has interpreted the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2007 as requiring the preser- vation of the purchasing power of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary.The Institute classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accu- mulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. Net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Endowment net assets consisted of the following at June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Funds with Deficiencies At June 30, 2009, the fair value of 10 endowment accounts were less than the level that the donor required the Institute to retain as a fund of perpetual duration by approximately $1,613,000.

Return Objectives and Risk Parameters The Institute has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the Institute must hold in perpetuity or for a donor-specified period as well as board-designated funds.

Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives The Institute manages its investments in accordance with a total return concept and the goal of maximizing returns within acceptable levels of risk. The Institute relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (dividends and interest). The Institute’s spending policy is designed to provide a stable level of financial support and to preserve the real value of its endowment. (6) Physical Plant Physical plant and equipment are stated at cost at date of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation. Library books, other

The accounting for this transaction has been made in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Institute entered into this swap agreement with the intention of lowering its effective interest rate. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of the derivative was ($3,514,367) and ($1,874,573), respectively.The swap agreement utilizes level 2 inputs to measure fair market value under Statement 157. The unrealized loss recognized during the year ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 in the amount of $1,639,794 and $1,796,708, respectively, is reported in the statements of activities in change in fair value of bond swap liability.

(10) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Institute is required by SFAS No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The estimated fair value amounts in the following disclosure have been determined by the Institute using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Institute could realize in a current market exchange, and the use of different market assumptions or methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts at June 30, 2009 and 2008.

______2009 ______2008 Assets: Cash $ 312,162 954,245 Government grants and contracts receivable 2,107,272 2,780,100 Funds held by trustee 8,587,408 10,864,390 Beneficial interest in remainder trust 2,654,256 3,350,996 Investments 530,320,152 666,901,593

Liabilities: Note payable 557,724 621,402 Long-term debt 61,002,987 64,329,256

The fair value estimates presented are based on information available to the Institute as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and have not been revalued since that date. While the Institute is not aware of any significant factors that would affect the estimates since that date, current estimates of fair value could differ significantly from the amounts disclosed. (11) Contingencies The Institute has an investment in the Ariel Fund Limited (the Fund). During the past year, the fund became subject to the oversight of a Receiver appointed by the Attorney General of NewYork for the principal purposes of marshalling and pre- serving the assets of the Fund, for ultimate distribution of the proceeds to the respective investors of the Fund. There is also a potential for litigation to recover amounts from investors who have received distributions from the Fund. Management

INDEPENDENTAUDITORS’REPORT does not expect this to have a significant impact on the Institute’s financial statements.

t is fundamental in our purpose, and our express I. desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty as well as in the admission of workers and

students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly,

of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit

characteristic of America at its noblest, above all

the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any

conditions as to personnel other than those designed

to promote the objects for which this institution is

established, and particularly with no regard whatever

to accidents of race, creed, or sex.
