They believed that we turn to the record of the past, the great achievements of literature and the arts, and the Books 31 enduring insights of philosophical, moral, and religious thought in order to attain a more profound understanding of the human condition. In pursuit of this goal, Financial Statement 34 the National Humanities Center is guided by the following principles:

he claim that the National Humanities Center Thas on your attention is that it is the most effec- tive way of strengthening the humanities in the United States. It’s not the only way and it is, still, far from a perfect way, but it is the best way I know of to help a cluster of fields and disciplines that are of great impor- tance in education and a source of great enrichment to our personal lives. For a small, young institution to make a claim of this sort may sound hubristic. But armies march on their stomachs and education flies, or falls, on the wings of scholarship. Which will it be, fly or fall? The answer depends on the quality of the scholarship. Leaden, earth- bound hackwork, all too common in every walk of life, sends things plummeting. Ideas that have been waiting for a chance to be heard, research that is ready to take off and now has the opportunity to do so, set us all soaring. It doesn’t take a vast number of first-rate pro- jects to make a difference to the future of humanistic fields, and to transform the education that students experience. These breakthrough projects come from many places—along with Brown, Stanford, the Univer- sity of Chicago, and the largest international delegation
