IAInstitSute for Advanced Study

Report for the Academic Year 2010–2011 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 and the humanities, sciences, the deepening of understanding across a broad range of the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. and social sciences. One of the Institute’s unique strengths is its permanent Faculty of twenty-eight 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. Organized in four Schools (Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science), the Faculty and Members interact with one anoth- er 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 six thousand former Members hold positions of intellectual and scientific leadership in the United States and abroad. Some twenty-seven Nobel Laureates and thirty-eight out of fifty-two Fields Medalists, as well as many winners of the Wolf 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 TMembers have pursued a wide range of topics. The emphasis has been traditionally 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 reg- ularly has 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 thirteen Visitors who joined the School for the aca- demic year 2010–11. Their research spanned a diverse range of historical subjects, including French opera, temples in India, and monks in Korea, as well as the history of race and hunger inAmerica and the portrayal of youth in the ancient novel.The periods studied ranged from as far back as the second millennium B.C.E. to the late twentieth century. Research carried out in the School also extended over a wide geographic range, including Europe, North America, the Middle East, and East and South Asia. Individual Members received support both from the Institute’s own funds and from a variety of external sources, including the Andrew W.Mellon Foundation, the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. 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 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 12/13/122:18PMPage10 10 SCHOOLOFHISTORICALSTUDIES

uring the 2010–11 academic year, the School of Mathematics held a special program on Galois representations and automorphic forms.The program was organized by the School’s Distinguished DVisiting Professor, Richard Taylor of Harvard University. The program had about thirty-three School participants, and many other people visited for shorter periods. Six mini-courses, two weekly seminars, and a one-week workshop were organized. In addition, participants in the program took advantage of the joint Institute for Advanced Study/Princeton University number the- ory seminars and the Institute Members seminars. All these activities (except the workshop and Members seminars) took place on Wednesday afternoons and Thursdays. This allowed the participants to concentrate on their own work for the rest of the week and also made it easier for scholars from neighboring universities to attend the events. Program participants included Taylor; von Neumann Fellows Francesco Calegari, Jean-Francois Dat, Thomas Haines, and Elena Mantovan;Veblen Research Instructors David Geraghty,Tasho Kaletha, Kai-Wen Lan, and MATHEMATICS OF SCHOOL Yichao Tian; Members Laurent Clozel, Pierre Colmez, Jean-Marc Fontaine, Michael Harris, Florian Herzig, Andrei Jorza, Chandrashekhar Khare, Ruochuan Liu, Tong Liu, Sophie Morel, James Newton,Yiannis Sakel- laridis, Sug Woo Shin, Christopher Skinner, Eric Urban, and Jared Weinstein; and Visitors Abnik Ganguli, Wieslawa Niziol, and Andrew Wiles. In addition, both Matthew Emerton of Northwestern University and Peter Scholze of the University of Bonn made more than one visit, and there were several students from Princeton University who attended regularly. Students involved with program activities from Harvard Uni- versity were Ana Caraiani, Lawrence Chung, Wushi Goldring, Bao Le Hung, and Jack Thorne. In the fall, Colmez gave a mini-course on his work on the p-adic local Langlands correspondence, Calegari gave a mini-course on completed cohomology, and Emerton gave a mini-course on local-global compatibil- ity in the p-adic Langlands program. In the spring, Skinner gave a mini-course on his work with Urban on the Iwasawa main conjecture for GL(2); Phillip A. Griffiths, Professor Emeritus, gave a mini-course on auto- morphic cohomology; and Geraghty and Taylor gave a mini-course on recent advances in automorphy/ potential automorphy of Galois representations. 25 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/13/12 2:18 PM Page 26

Of the thirty-four seminars given during the year, particular highlights of the seminar program were Weinstein’s beautiful breakthrough on semistable models for modular curves of all levels and Scholze’s exciting new take on the local Langlands conjecture for GL(n). The talks in the workshop were of an extremely high standard, and there were well over a hundred attendees. Speakers were selected to ensure that the talks addressed what was thought to be the most interesting recent developments. Some of the most exciting advances reported were the work of Vincent Pilloni and Benoit Stroh, et al., on eigenvarieties for higher-dimensional Shimura varieties; Scholze’s introduction of perfectoid spaces and his use of them to both re-prove p-adic comparison theorems and to attack the weight- monodromy conjecture; the ideas of Calegari and Geraghty on proving modularity lifting theorems ANDREA KANE over imaginary quadratic fields (and probably RichardTaylor (right), Distinguished other settings, where the original approach seemed to break down); and Visiting Professor, organized a special Mahesh Kakde’s proof of the non-abelian main conjecture for characters program on Galois representations and automorphic forms. Member Kai-Wen over totally real fields. Lan (left) aimed to understand relations between automorphic forms coming Some breakthroughs that were announced and discussed were Weinstein’s from geometric objects of very initial breakthrough on the four-decades-old problem of finding semistable different natures. models for all modular curves. While this progress took place before the start of the special year, Weinstein had extensive discussions with other members of the program, and his results have taken on a more natural form (for exam- ple, more systematically passing to a limit over all level structures), and he has begun to generalize them beyond GL(2). Calegari and Geraghty, who were here for the whole year, have announced a breakthrough on modularity lifting theorems. All modularity lifting theo- rems to date only work in the “regular, odd, conjugate self-dual” case, where the universal deformation ring and the Hecke algebras are as large as possi- ble. This seemed to be a major restriction on the Taylor-Wiles method. (It is somehow easier to prove two things are equal when they are both as big as they can possibly be.) However, Calegari and Geraghty, working together during the special year, appear to have found a way to treat other cases. At the moment, their results are restricted to some important special cases, but it seems plausible that this is just the start. In a smaller activity devoted to some very recent developments in symplectic geometry, Member Claude Viterbo of École Polytechnique gave a graduate course, “Introduction to Symplectic Topology through Sheaf Theory,“ and long-term Member Mark Goresky and Professor Helmut Hofer ran a working group on sheaf-theoretic methods in symplectic topology during the second term. In addition to the mini-course “Microlocal Theory of Sheaves and Applications to Non-Displaceability” by Pierre Schapira of the University of Paris VI (www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=40585), there was a SCHOOLOFMATHEMATICS workshop on sheaf-theoretic methods in symplectic topology from May 9–12, organized by Hofer and Viterbo (www.math.ias.edu/workshop-stmst). The new ideas presented during these activities are potentially relevant for the 26 program on symplectic dynamics in 2011–12, and the workshop served to G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:13 PM Page 27

In preparation for the 2011–12 academic year activity on symplectic dynamics, Hofer gave a graduate course on the same subject at Princeton University. Symplectic dynamics is In 2010, it became clear that an envisioned new field studying classes of (conservative) dynamical systems methods in symplectic geometry by highly integrated methods from symplectic geometry and dynamical sys- (holomorphic curve theories/ tems.

Together scientific space missions. with Peter Albers of Purdue University and Urs Frauenfelder of Seoul National University, Hofer started a research project to study the restricted three-body problem that is known to show chaotic behavior. This project grew and currently involves Joel Fish of Stanford University, Gabriel Pater- nain of the University of Cambridge, and Otto van Koert of Seoul Nation- al University. The results so far show precise organizing principles for the chaos, which is potentially useful since it is precisely this chaos that is responsible for the existence of fuel-efficient orbits. Frauenfelder will present some of the results at the NASA/ESA-sponsored conference, “New Trends in Astrodynamics and Applications VI,” during an invited lecture. Hofer con- tinued his work on symplectic field theory and polyfolds jointly with Krzysztof Wysocki of Pennsylvania State University and Eduard Zehnder of Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich. During the second term, Members Bramham, Larry Guth, Matthew Kahle, and Melissa Tacy initiated “Mathematical Conversations.”This is a new idea for mathematical communication that we hope will broaden the mathemat- ical horizons of all participants.

Nigel Pitt, a Member during the second term, made decisive progress on his long-term project on the behavior of coefficients of a modular form on the sequence p-1, p a prime, and he is in the process of preparing a paper regarding his progress.

University of Pennsylvania, and Konstantin Mischaikow of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, continued with six workshops held during the year. Three workshops were held each term alternating between the campus- es of the Institute, Rutgers, and the University of Pennsylvania. Improve- ments in information technology have revolutionized the way scientists and engineers record and simulate complicated phenomena. The organization and understanding of this data requires new techniques. On the mathematical side, topology provides concepts and computational tools for studying non- linear objects and transformations. The goal of this seminar series was to direct and expand these concepts and tools toward the above-mentioned applications. There was a mix of lectures by topologists, by scientists in fields SCHOOLOFMATHEMATICS with topological applications, and by people doing topological computations. The talks were aimed at a broad interdisciplinary audience and were intend- ed to provide a forum for discussing current and future applications of topo- 28 logical techniques, both theoretical and computational.

n the past year, Professor Nima Arkani-Hamed continued his work on understanding the amazing struc- ture of scattering amplitudes in gauge theories, a subject that holds the promise of transforming our Iunderstanding of quantum field theory. Over the past two years, he has been intensively exploring a remarkably simple mathematical structure—represented as a contour integral over the Grassmannian—that seems to lie at the heart of some of the physics, seen at first in a dual picture for all the “leading singularities” of the scattering amplitudes to loop orders. Last August, he found an explicit recursive formula for the all L- loop integrand for scattering amplitudes in N=4 SYM in the planar limit, manifesting an infinite-dimensional “Yangian” symmetry of the theory that is otherwise invisible. This also provides a new physical picture for the

meaning of quantum “loop” corrections, which arise from the “entangled” removal of pairs of particles, and SCIENCES NATURAL OF SCHOOL naturally represents loop amplitudes as integrals in twistor space. This research has stepped toward a long- standing goal of providing a completely new definition of the theory where words like "space-time," "Lagrangian,”“path integral,” and “gauge symmetry” do not make an appearance. Arkani-Hamed further explored the systematics of these objects in a pair of December papers. The new methods have reduced the computation of multiloop integrands in the theory to a routine exercise. For instance, certain “2-loop” amplitudes were computed in August 2009 and written in terms of eight pages of complicated expressions, while the form obtained from the new methods represents this as essentially a sin- gle term. The simplicity of these results is very striking, and strongly suggests further deep organizing princi- ples at work. A rough picture that is emerging is that the Grassmannian formulation itself has a dual description where amplitudes are “volumes” of “polytopes.”To compute the volume, the polytope needs to be triangulated, and different triangulations make different physical properties manifest. For instance, space- time locality and quantum-mechanical unitarity are made manifest by different choices of triangulations. During the 2010–11 academic year, Professor Stanislas Leibler continued to focus on studies of the func- tional constraints in protein families and associated “protein sectors,” and on a study of error corrections in biological systems. 43 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:13 PM Page 44

The latter topic was developed in collaboration with Member Arvind Murugan. In particular, Leibler and Murugan studied a kinetic proofreading During the 2010–11 scheme, proposed many years ago by John Hopfield, currently a Visiting academic year, Professor Professor at the Institute. They obtained new insights about the interplay Leibler continued to focus between error rate, reaction completion time, and energy consumption in these important biochemical phenomena. on studies of the functional constraints in protein Recent work of Hopfield on neurodynamics in the hippocampus has moti- families and associated vated Members Rémi Monasson and Simona Cocco to study statistical mechanics models of the so-called place cells.

Finally, Monasson, Cocco, Leibler, and Doeke Hekstra of the Rockefeller University collaborated to develop theoretical methods to analyze popula- tion time series from quantitative ecological experiments. These general sta- tistical methods should be applicable to a wide range of biological data. During the academic year 2010–11, Professor Arnold J. Levine’s research focused on areas in virology, immunology, cancer, and autism. A study, con- tinuing collaboration with Member Benjamin Greenbaum and the laborato- ry of Nina Bhardwaj at New York University, predicted that the particular nucleotide phrases avoided by influenza viruses when they evolve in human cells stimulate the human immune system—likely through binding to a Toll- like receptor that can recognize single-stranded RNA. (“Oligonucleotide Motifs that Disappear during the Evolution of Influenza in Humans Increase IFN-1 Secretion by Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells,” Journal of Virology, in press). In further collaboration with Greenbaum and others, viruses were introduced to human dendritic cells containing these particular phrases (the dinucleotide CpG in an A/U context), and as predicted, they caused an John Hopfield (center, left) and Albert aberrant immune response.

The all continuous gauge symmetries contour lives on the boundary of anti–de Sitter space and it consists of a are compact, and all charges sequence of light-like segments.

They showed that it is the quotient of the space of marginal couplings by the complexified continuous global symmetry group. This fact explains why exactly marginal deformations are ubiquitous in N=1 theories. Davide Gaiotto, Seiberg, and Tachikawa revisited the study of the maximally singular point in the Coulomb branch of certain 4d N=2 gauge theories. A proper identification of the long distance theory removed a possible counter example to a conjectured a-theorem. Member Tom Banks and Seiberg discussed some aspects of global and gauged symmetries in quantum field theory and quantum gravity. An effec- tive Lagrangian description of Zp gauge theories showed that they are asso- ciated with an emergent Zp one-form (Kalb-Ramond) gauge symmetry. This led them to uncover new observables and new phenomena in nonlin- ear sigma-models. They argued that in models of quantum gravity, there are no global symmetries, all continuous gauge symmetries are compact, and all charges allowed by Dirac quantization are present in the spectrum. Their dis- cussion led to a more physical and more complete understanding of recent- ly found consistency conditions of supergravity. Seiberg and Washington Taylor extended the known consistency conditions on the low-energy theory of six-dimensional N=1 supergravity. Following earlier work on two-form gauge fields, they concluded that the charge lat- tice for such a theory has to be self-dual. The Green-Schwarz anomaly can- cellation conditions in the supergravity theory determine a sub-lattice of this charge lattice. The condition that this sub-lattice can be extended to a self- dual lattice leads to a strong constraint on theories that otherwise appear to be self-consistent. Member Guido Festuccia and Seiberg presented a uniform treatment of rigid supersymmetric field theories in a curved spacetime. The main new

SCHOOLOFNATURALSCIENCES tool was the use of classical background values of the auxiliary fields in the supergravity multiplet. This allowed them to reproduce known results about anti–de Sitter space and to find a supersymmetric Lagrangian on a three- 46 sphere and on a four-sphere.

With Elisa Chisari, a student at Princeton University, Zaldarriaga showed how to use standard Newtonian numerical simulations of structure formation to produce results that include the leading General Relativistic corrections by remapping the coordinate system. Both of these results will be needed to make predictions for and interpret the results of upcoming Large Scale Structure Surveys. Member Amit Yadav; Meng Su of Harvard University; Matthew McQuinn of the University of California, Berkeley; Jaiyul Yoo of the University of Zurich; and Zaldarriaga studied how inhomoge- neous reionization gives rise to angular fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) optical depth to the last scattering surface, correlating different spherical harmonic modes and imprint- ing characteristic non-Gaussianity on CMB maps. These signals could be detected with large signal to noise in future experiments like CMBPol. They demonstrated that the non-Gaussian signal from gravitational lensing of CMB is the dominant source of contamina- tion for reconstructing inhomogeneous reionization signals, even with 98 percent of its contribution removed by delensing. They then constructed unbiased estimators that simultaneously reconstruct inhomogeneous reionization signals and the gravitational lensing potential. They applied their new unbiased estimators to future CMB experiments to assess the detectability of inhomogeneous reionization signals. Member Daniel Baumann, Senatore, and Zaldarriaga studied the effective theory of adiabatic fluctuations around arbitrary Fried- mann-Robertson-Walker backgrounds—both expanding and con- BENTLEY DREZNER tracting—that allow for more than one way to obtain scale-invariant Member ChristopherTully gave a high-energy two-point correlations.

In particular, requiring the background to be a dynamical attractor, the curvature fluctuations are scale-invariant and weakly coupled for at least ten e-folds only if the back- ground is close to de Sitter space. In this case, the time-translation invariance of the background guarantees time-independent n-point functions. McQuinn, Lars Hernquist of Harvard University, Adam Lidz of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, and Zaldarriaga studied the process of reionization of the intergalactic medium. It appears inevitable that reionization should have produced large-scale temperature fluctuations in the intergalactic medium. Using toy temperature models and detailed heating histories from cosmo- logical simulations of HeII reionization, they studied the consequences of inhomogeneous heating for the Ly-alpha forest. The impact of temperature fluctuations in physically well-motivated models can be surprisingly subtle. In fact, they showed that temperature fluctuations at the level predicted by their reionization simulations do not give rise to detectable signatures in the 49 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:13 PM Page 50

They found that physically motivated tempera- results that include the leading ture models can alter this spectrum at an order unity level, a magnitude that General Relativistic corrections should be easily detectable with BOSS. Future spectroscopic surveys could extend this measurement to even higher redshifts, potentially detecting the by remapping the coordinate thermal imprint of hydrogen reionization. system.

In order to make upcoming Large Scale the scalars light in a natural way, they considered the case where these fields Structure Surveys. are the Goldstone bosons of a global symmetry group or are partially pro- tected by an approximate supersymmetry.

They found sever- al new three-point function shapes and showed that in mul- tifield inflation it is possible to naturally suppress the three- point function, making the four-point function the leading source of detectable non-Gaus- sianities. They also found that under certain circumstances, i.e., if specific shapes of non- Gaussianities are detected in the data, one could distinguish be- tween single and multifield infla- tion and sometimes even among the various mechanisms that

Professor Emeritus Stephen L. Adler’s principal project this past year was The research interests of Visiting writing a suite of computer programs for multidimensional numerical inte- Professor Rashid Sunyaev (center) included the cosmological recombination gration. The programs start with a base region, either a simplex or a hyper- of hydrogen and helium, the physics of cube, and proceed by subdividing all sides by a factor of two to give smaller gas accretion onto neutron stars and subregions. This process continues until a termination criterion for the inte- black holes, the problem of matter, and gral over each subregion is satisfied. This strategy permits good results to be radiation interaction under extreme astrophysical conditions. obtained for truly multidimensional functions that have localized peaks and valleys throughout the higher-dimensional domain. The programs involve new higher-order integration formulas that Adler has devised, combined with efficient use of memory in the programming. For each geometry there are both single processor and parallel processing versions. The programs give good results up to dimension 7 on a personal computer, and up to dimen- sion 9 or higher on a cluster. Adler has also written a hybrid version of the hypercube programs, which permits subdivision along any subset of the axes giving hyper-rectangular subregions. These are then mapped into hypercubes for evaluation of the integral, by either a higher-order method for smooth functions or by a

Monte-Carlo method for nonsmooth functions. Benchmark testing of this SCIENCES NATURAL OF SCHOOL variant is the next step of the project. Adler has posted on arXiv a draft description of the methods and construc- tion of the programs. Substantial revision and expansion of the draft is planned before publication as a book. The programs, once testing is com- pleted, will be posted on the Internet with a license for free use by individ- ual users pursuing nonprofit research at academic institutions. Adler’s secondary project this year has been continuation of work on his dark matter scattering model for the flyby anomalies, which was described in the Fall 2009 issue of the Institute Letter. Data for five additional flybys was furnished by scientists affiliated with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and combined by Adler with the original six, to fit eleven data points with the eight parameter model. This gives a statistically significant test, and a good fit, with a chi-squared somewhat under three, is obtained. The model parameters now require the dark matter shells to be much closer to Earth than in the six point fit, which may introduce further constraints from satel- 51 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 12/9/125:13PMPage52 52 SCHOOLOFNATURALSCIENCES oto rfso odec and Goldreich Professor of Most osbeta tcudpeetan prevent could it that possible nltdpae rmshrinking. from planet inflated hi etn antifaea inflate cannot heating ohmic hi etn u ocurrents to due heating ohmic aqnW’ fot aebeen have efforts Wu’s Yanqin ete ae n hnflow then and layer weather ietdtwr evaluating toward directed oldofadsrn,i is it shrunk, and off cooled noisitro.Although interior. its into htoiiaei plane’s a in originate that lntta a previously has that planet n eoie nteritros w ifrn cnro r ocial.Pro- conceivable. are stellar transported Emeritus scenarios the different is fessor Two of interiors. that some their form entropy that in low deposited plausible a and is into converted it is stars, intercept inflated parent than they all energy their larger Because to are birth. since close that cooled orbit radii passively planets have they planets had these expected near- be transit of would that fraction planets significant extrasolar A for stars. determined by are ages and radii, Masses, rpryta h ro ftent prxmto per odces ihn with decrease to appears peculiar approximation n’th the 10 the has like series of approxima- error Lehmer rational the The Lehmer. that Derek of property a by series discovered in a pi of engaged to studying University tions he mathematics, University, the recreational Clarkson of of of Frankel piece Glasser Norman Lawrence and with fore- Melbourne collaboration a wrote In also Press.

he School of Social Science invited twenty-two scholars from a pool of 225 applicants from the United States and abroad to be part of the School’s scholarly community as Members for the T2010–11 academic year. Eight Visitors and a Research Assistant also participated in the year’s activi- ties. Individual Members were supported by gifts from the Leon Levy Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Friends of the Institute for Advanced Study, along with endowment funding pro- vided by Deutsche Bank, the Florence Gould Foundation, Roger W. Ferguson Jr. and Annette L. Nazareth, Richard B. Fisher, and the Wolfensohn Family Foundation. Funding from the Carnegie Corporation also allowed for the participation of a professional journalist in the School’s thematic seminar. Fields of inquiry of the group included history, economics, religion, anthropology, political science, sociology, and literature. During the 2010–11 academic year, the School conducted four seminar series: the Social Science Thursday Lunch Seminar; the Secularism Seminar led by Professor Joan Scott; a Seminar on Moral Issues led by Pro- fessor Didier Fassin; and the Economics Seminar led by Professor Eric Maskin. The School also continued publication of its series of Occasional Papers and Economics Working Papers, which can be accessed online from the School’s website, www.sss.ias.edu. Danielle S. Allen, UPS Foundation Professor, completed a book manuscript, “A Course in Human Events,” about the Declaration of Independence, as well as several papers on new media and political participation for the MacArthur Foundation working group on youth participatory politics. She gave the annual Spencer Lecture at the American Educational Research Association annual meeting, as well as lectures at Reston,Vir- SCIENCE SOCIAL OF SCHOOL ginia; the University of Bristol; and the University of Cambridge. She was appointed to the American Acad- emy Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Didier Fassin, James D.Wolfensohn Professor, gave two talks for the eightieth anniversary of the Institute on conspiracy theories and on human rights. Much of his work was dedicated to the exploration of moral economies, which was the theme of his seminar at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, particularly the tension between compassion and repression in contemporary societies. On humanitarianism, he published La Raison Humanitaire: Une Histoire Morale du Temps Présent (Hautes Etudes-Gallimard-Seuil). This was also the subject of lectures at NewYork University, the University of Hong Kong, and the Uni- versity of PaísVasco, as well as the Munro Lecture at the University of Edinburgh.Violence is a central issue of the book he wrote this year based on the ethnography of the police he conducted in France, La Force de l’Ordre, forthcoming from Le Seuil. It was the topic of his opening lecture for the conference “The Body and the State” at the New School for Social Research, and for other talks at McGill University and Birzeit University. For the sixtieth anniversary of the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, he gave the Elizabeth Colson Lecture at the University of Oxford on the vanishing truth of 63 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/13/12 2:18 PM Page 64

asylum. During his visit to the Uni- versity of Hong Kong, where he served as an advisor for the recently created Centre for the Humanities and Medicine, he gave two lectures on global health and on humanitarian wars. His previous work on South Africa was presented at the University of Pennsylvania and in an article for the Brown Journal of World Affairs. The question of critique and engagement was discussed in his talk at the confer- ence “Walls and Bridges” in New York and in his contribution to the conference “Ethnography and Social CLIFF MOORE Change” at Columbia University. At After his public lecture on elections and the W.H.R. Rivers Symposium at Harvard University, he proposed a strategic voting, Professor Eric Maskin (left) reflection on the relationship between philosophy and anthropology.

In August 2010, Eric S. Maskin, Albert O. Hirschman Professor, lectured on “Elections and StrategicVoting” at a meeting of the Game Theory Society in São Paulo.This was also the subject of his Hurwicz Memorial Lecture at Member Gabriella Coleman (left) spoke about computer hacking during a lunch the Warsaw School of Economics, his Rosenthal Memorial Lecture at seminar; Member Rohini Somanathan Boston University, and a public lecture at the Institute for Advanced Study (right) gave the Leon Levy Lecture in which in spring of 2011.

The Libraries

he Historical Studies–Social Science Library (Marcia Tucker, Librarian) contains some 125,000 volumes and has subscriptions to over one thousand journals. The Library is strongest in classical studies, ancient history, Tand archaeology, 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 two thousand 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 includes books and offprints from past Professors including Kurt Gödel, Ernst H. Kantorowicz, Elias Avery Lowe, Millard Meiss, Erwin Panofsky, Marshall Clagett, and Harry Woolf, and former Members Robert Huygens and Walther Kirchner. The Library also contains the library of Giorgio Tonelli. 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 Simone Weil. The Library houses the Institute archives. The records in the collection of the Shelby White and Leon Levy Archives Center (Christine Di Bella, Archivist) date from the 1930s and consist of 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, including astro- physicist John N. Bahcall.The archives also include the Institute’s photograph collection and a growing oral history collection. The reading room is located in the annex of the HS–SS Library. It provides a space for researchers to consult resources from the archives, as well as a display area featuring selections from the collections.A generous gift from the Leon Levy Foundation supports the ongoing work of the Institute to formally organize and preserve the important historical materials already in its possession and to serve as a repository for essential source materials going forward. The Mathematics–Natural Sciences Library (Momota Ganguli, Librarian) is located in Fuld Hall, with smaller depart- mental branches in Bloomberg Hall and compact shelving spread across campus. The collection, which includes about thirty thousand volumes of monographs and bound periodicals as well as 140 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 computerized access to a database that is in use by 57,000 libraries in 112 countries. The Institute is a member of the H LIBRARIES THE OCLC Research Library SHARES group, a resource-sharing program. The Institute’s Web-accessible online catalogue provides holdings information for the libraries and is accessible via http://library.ias.edu from anywhere in the world. The HS–SS 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, JSTOR, and arXiv.org. All scholars affiliated with the Institute enjoy the same privileges as Princeton University faculty in the Princeton University Library sys- tem. All scholars also have privileges in the 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 cur- rent Faculty, Members, andVisitors of the Institute. 71 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/13/12 2:18 PM Page 72

The IAS Community

or more than eighty 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, understanding the organization of biological systems, fourteenth- century Mongolian history, the very latest developments in string theory, the mathematical basis of computer security, the history and meaning of secularism, and how to evaluate the signals for supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. 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. To celebrate its eightieth anniversary, the Institute held two weekends in the fall of 2010, which illustrated the work of its Schools and presented opportunities for the Institute’s former scien- tists and scholars to return and meet current Faculty, Members, andVisitors (see photos, below). In addition, the Institute offers a series of activities for Members,Visitors, and their families. In the 2010–11 academic year, these included films, play readings, clay modeling classes, yoga, tennis lessons, trips to museums and other cultural sites, and activities for children in the Institute community.

Special Programs

Program in Interdisciplinary Studies

Piet Hut’s activities included both his astrophysics research and his responsibilities as the head of the Program in Interdisciplinary Studies. The latter program had seventeen visitors, with durations of their visits ranging from days to months, in fields including mathematical physics, astrophysics, computer science, philosophy, science writing, bioinformatics, classical music, art history, and political economy. During the year, Hut, together with Caroline Bynum, Professor in the School of Historical Studies, and Helmut Hofer, Professor in the School of Mathematics, organized a series of After Hours Conversations, which were held at the Institute in Harry’s Bar two times a week for a period of two months during each semester. Each get-together had a more formal part lasting thirty minutes, starting with a ten-minute talk by a speaker followed by a twenty-minute period of questions. In addition, many participants would continue informal conversations afterward. These activities were widely seen as an effective way to encourage inter- School communication at the Institute. Hut spent part of the fall semester at Kyoto University in Japan, where he visited the interdisciplinary program Hakubi, a promising new initiative bringing together researchers from all fields of natural science, social science, and the humanities. He also co-organized an interdisciplinary applied mathematics seminar at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the same university. Following that, he visited the new supercomputer research institute in Kobe, Japan, in order to develop software for astrophysical simulations. As of June 2011, their K computer is the fastest computer in the world. He also spent some time visitingYamagata University, where he started a collaboration with Shigeru Taguchi, a specialist in Husserlian phenomenology, and the Nagahama Bio University, working with Hayato Saigo, whose field is applied mathematics. After introducing Taguchi and Saigo to each other, Hut started a three- way collaboration with the aim to explore new mathematical structures for phenomenological philosophy. As part of his ongoing research of virtual worlds, he explored OpenSim as well as Open Wonderland, two alter- native environments, in addition to the more established world of Second Life. Within the latter, he organized RGA NITRICPIAYSTUDIES INTERDISCIPLINARY IN PROGRAM workshops and other regular meetings for the Meta Institute for Computational Astrophysics (MICA; www.mica-vw.org), and for the Kira Institute (www.kira.org), focused on interdisciplinary collaborations.

The Program in Interdisciplinary Studies, headed by Professor Piet Hut (right), had seventeen visitors, whose fields included mathematical physics, astrophysics, computer science, philosophy, science writing, bioinformatics, classical music, art history, and political economy.

Artist-in-Residence Program KATE ABLUTZ Artist-in-Residence Derek Bermel (center) participated in a post-concert talk with performers. he Harmonic Series,” led by Artist-in-Residence Derek Bermel, continued in 2010–11.The series “ was developed to explore the wide variety of aesthetic perspectives in art music, especially of the Ttwentieth and twenty-first centuries, through chamber music concerts and talks. The EdwardT. Cone Concert Series opened with performances by the Borromeo String Quartet, with guest artists Paul Neubauer on viola, Fred Sherry on cello, and Bermel on the clarinet.The program included Béla Bartók’s String Quartet no. 6, Milton Babbitt’s More Melismata, Variações sobre temas populares by Andreia Pinto- Correia, Derek Bermel’s Soul Garden and Coming Together, and Osvaldo Golijov’s The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind. The second concert weekend of the season was Mallet Madness, featuring vibraphonist Joe Locke, marimbist Lisa Pegher, and African xylophonist Bernard Woma in an all-percussion program. The spring concerts began with Brooklyn Rider and traced more than a century of American concert music, with Dvorˇák’s American Quartet (String Quartet no. 12 in F) as its centerpiece. Other works on the program included Bermel’s Amerikanizálódik, Don Byron’s Four Thoughts on Marvin Gaye, John Cage’s In a Landscape, Philip Glass’s String Quartet no. 3 (Mishima), and Colin Jacobsen’s Achille’s Heel.The season concluded with The End of Time, with performances of Béla Bartók’s Contrasts, Edward T. Cone’s Sphinxes: 25 Aphorisms for Piano, Bermel’s Twin Trio, and Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End ofTime. Concert talks by the performers followed the Friday performances and preceded the Saturday concerts. This year the Writers Conversations continued with a poets panel featuring moderator Tracy K. Smith and poets Thomas Sayers Ellis, Suji Kwock Kim, and Wendy S. Walters. The next event was a conversation with Shimon Attie, an internationally renowned visual artist who discussed a variety of his work, from his early site-specific installations across Europe through his more recent artworks that involve multiple-channel immersive video installations. The final presentation was a conversation with Alex Ross, music critic of the New Yorker, who joined Bermel in a discussion of the challenges in writing about music for different formats, including books, magazines, newspapers, and blogs. In addition to directing “The Harmonic Series,” during the 2010–11 year Bermel composed a newly com- missioned work, Mar de Setembro, for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra with soprano soloist Luciana Souza, as well as an electric guitar concerto jointly commissioned by the Albany Symphony and the Nederlands Jeugd

ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCEPROGRAM Stijkorkest, which had its American and European premieres in the spring. He also had works performed by the Chicago Symphony and the Alabama Symphony, among others. Bermel has been busy co-curating the ten-day SONiC festival, featuring the music of over one hundred composers age forty and under, which will take place at venues throughout New York City during October 2011, including Carnegie Hall, the Joyce 78 Soho, the Kitchen, Joe’s Pub, the World Financial Center, and Columbia University’s Miller Theatre.

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.

Graham Farmelo is writing a book on Winston Churchill’s work on the atomic bomb, from his early acquaintance with the idea of such weapons to the end of his second premiership. Farmelo will be concen- trating on his relationships with British physicists—Lord Cherwell among others—but including the American presidents with whom he worked on nuclear policy, from Roosevelt to Eisenhower.

During his time at the Institute, Paul Hodgson continued to explore different kinds of uncertainty through painting, photography, and digital media. He also continued an ongoing examination of the value of a subjective response. The work that he produced has since led him to separate the different visual languages that he had previously combined in a single picture, and to reconsider each in turn.A studio on the edge of the Institute woodlands prompted him to work directing from a landscape motif, raising interesting questions of how this activity relates to his current practice. The largest of the pictures that he worked on during his stay is Compendium—a mixed media piece, completed on his return to London in early 2011.

The great benefit of being a Director’s Visitor is the opportunity, away from normal work constraints, to follow serendipity.Thanks to the open stacks policy in so many of Princeton’s libraries, both at IAS and at the University, Fiona Maddocks chanced upon some specialist texts concerning the use of non-Western musical styles in early-twentieth-century opera. This fed directly into the exploration of wider social- cultural issues she has been examining in relation to opera, and prompted a fresh and rewarding line of inquiry. She arrived at the Institute with one set of questions and Fiona Maddocks arrived left a month later, after many walks in the woods and stimulating lunchtime en- counters, having posed, if not entirely answered, several others far more interesting. at the Institute with one set of questions and left a Tarik O’Regan continued making final revisions to Heart of Darkness, his opera month later, after many based on Conrad’s novel of the same name (a collaboration with fellow Director’s walks in the woods and Visitor Tom Phillips), which opens in November 2011 at the Royal Opera House, London.

Once again Tom Phillips arrived at the Institute with a task and departed with an idea. Inspiration (if one dare use that word) can only come to the worker on duty, so the task was performed using (once again) trashed magazines from the humanities library.The same library furnished reading matter, which led, with the usual admixture of lunches, conversations, astrophysical ping pong, and walks in the VISITORS DIRECTOR’S woods, to a visual commentary on Cicero, now happily in progress.

Writing yet another history of the Institute after the half dozen written since Beatrice Stern’s pioneer study? Downsizing the project was one answer, choosing a different angle another. The history Ulrich Raulff is doing now focuses on the humanists at the Institute, its time horizon being the first two and half decades after the war. What was it to be a cold-war humanist, coming out of one war, being surrounded by people that seemed to be busy preparing the next? When policy-making in the nuclear age forged new coalitions and broke old solidarities; when the gatekeepers of pure science and scholarship rallied for their last battle:What styles of communication (living, talking) were then in fashion and bridged the gap of the two cultures? These were some of the questions he began to tackle, and it was a wonderful experience to discuss them with old and new members of faculty, guests, and visitors, and being most generously helped by the staff of the Institute’s library and archive. 79 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 12/9/125:14PMPage80 80 IAS/PCMI ednsadbif uhrdb CIsItrainlSmnro ahmtc dcto r loavailable also are pro- Education the Mathematics Uni- and on Drexel Program, website.

(Right) In the Undergraduate Summer School,Tara Brendle of the University of Glasgow lectured on surface topology. Graduate Summer School and Research Program The Graduate Summer School and the Research Program 2011 were organized by Benson Farb, University of Chicago; Richard Hain, Duke University; and Eduard Looijenga, Universiteit Utrecht.This year’s theme, “Moduli Spaces of Riemann Surfaces,” included recent developments in mathematical theory of these moduli spaces and brought together viewpoints from the disparate fields of algebraic geometry, geometric topology, geometric analysis, and representation theory. Thus the graduate lecture series and research seminars brought together a broad range of mathematical approaches to the fundamental problem of under- standing the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces and its many compactifications.There were many cross-field interactions among participants that are expected to lead to collaborations in the near future.

GRADUATE SUMMER SCHOOL The 2011 Graduate Summer School had six lecture series (with a total of forty lectures) on a variety of approaches to understanding the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Each lecture, which was balanced between introductory and advanced research material, was supplemented with an additional daily session where students worked on prepared problems guided by the lecturers’ teaching assistants. The Summer Session is designed to provide graduate students with a comprehensive and diverse learning experience that few, if any, could obtain in their own university.Attendance at all lectures was very high and included participants from the Graduate Summer School, the Research Program, the Undergraduate Faculty Program, and the Undergraduate Summer School.

Secondary School Teachers Program Fifty-four high school and middle school teachers followed an intense daily schedule that included learning mathematics, reflecting on what it means to teach mathematics, and working together to create products to be shared with their colleagues. Participants came from many different areas of the United States, as well as from Canada, Peru,Turkey, and Vietnam. The range of teaching experience among the SSTP participants ran from one year of teaching to seasoned veterans. The daily “Mathematical Problem Solving” course used materials created by a team from the Educational Development Center and the PROMYS for Teachers program at Boston University. The course in 2011 focused on geometry as a useful tool for studying and understanding all kinds of phenomena inside and out- side mathematics. Participants created functions that give insight on a geometric problem, and looked for things that remain constant when the inputs of a function change. These were applied to a wide variety of situations, including geometric optimization and the fundamental theorem of algebra. In the daily “Reflecting on Practice” session, participants considered research related to teaching and learning mathematics with a particular focus on formative assessment—student thinking and how it can be used to shape instruction. The discussion was grounded in the study of lessons and classroom practice in both the United States and other countries. Participants worked collaboratively to better understand why assessment for learning is important and how they can design and use such assessments in their own classrooms. For two hours each afternoon, each participant took part in one of six working groups on data analysis, functions, geome- try, discrete mathematics, lesson study, and a group that took part in the mathematics course given as part of PCMI’s Undergraduate Faculty Program. In the latter working group, participants not only learned about the research topic but pro- vided input to the course instructors about the pedagogy involved in delivering the course. The working group on functions focused on preparing materials to enable their col- leagues to understand the role of functions in the Common Core State Standards. The other working groups explored technology, developed lessons and classroom activities, and cre- ated drafts of potential articles on interesting and useful math- ematics that will be tested in classrooms when appropriate, reviewed during the coming year, revised as necessary, and posted on the PCMI website. TODD ROYAL HICKEN The range of teaching experience among participants in the Service,Teaching, and Research (STaR) Program Secondary SchoolTeachers Program ran from one year of The Service, Teaching, and Research (STaR) induction pro- teaching to seasoned veterans. gram for recent doctoral graduates in mathematics education, organized by Robert and Barbara Reys, Univer- sity of Missouri, with National Science Foundation funding, was associated with PCMI for the second year. The program supported thirty-five mathematics educators for one week at PCMI, taking part in courses offered by leading mathematics educators in the United States and working together in small groups on top- ics of interest and relevance to their emerging work. In addition to informal connections between PCMI’s IAS/PCMI Secondary School Teachers Program and STaR, participants from the two programs met together for a focused lunch discussion led by facilitators from both groups around a set of common questions.

Undergraduate Faculty Program For faculty members whose main focus is teaching undergraduate students, the Undergraduate Faculty Program (UFP) at PCMI offers the opportunity to renew excitement about mathematics, confer with peers about new teaching approaches, address challenging research questions, and interact with the broader mathematical 83 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 12/9/125:14PMPage84 84 IAS/PCMI

Science Initiative Group (SIG)

he Science Initiative Group (SIG) is dedicated to fostering science in developing countries. Formed in 1999 as an IAS outreach program to provide oversight for the Millennium Science Initiative in TLatin America, which now operates independently, SIG has since shifted its focus to improving science and engineering capacity in sub-Saharan Africa. For the past four years, SIG has worked to develop, implement, and manage the Regional Initiative in Science and Education, known as RISE. RISE prepares Ph.D.- and M.S.-level scientists and engineers in sub-Saharan Africa in university-based net- works. Its goal is to increase the cadre of highly qualified academic staff members teaching and conducting research in African universities on subjects relevant to Africa’s development. As of the end of June 2011, some one hundred students were pursuing doctoral or masters degrees or were engaged in postdoctoral research through RISE, and several had completed their studies and started or resumed academic careers at African universities. Each RISE network includes universities in at least three countries. Fourteen universities and research insti- tutes in nine countries—Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda—are part of at least one of the five RISE networks: AMSEN:African Materials Science and Engineering Network RISE-AFNNET:African Natural Products Network SABINA: Southern African Biochemistry and Informatics for Natural Products Network SSAWRN: Sub-Saharan Africa Water Resources Network WIO-RISE:Western Indian Ocean Regional Initiative By the end of the three-year implementation phase of RISE in December 2010, all of the students had ben- efited from the opportunities offered by the network structure, including participation in international workshops and conferences and access to specialized scientific instrumentation and to supervisors with complementary expertise. Some students had pub- lished papers, applied for patents, or won prestigious academic prizes. RISE’s first phase culminated in a weeklong program in October 2010 in Benoni, South Africa, featuring a forum on regional networks in Africa and a scientific conference. The event showcased RISE student research in a series of talks and poster sessions in a format inspired by the annual meetings of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, SIG’s original funder and a conference cosponsor. Information about the conference, including links to news coverage, is avail- able at http://sig.ias.edu/2010conference. Carnegie Corporation of NewYork, which provided the initial planning and implementation grants for RISE, awarded a renewal grant in January 2011 that

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010

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 members visiting the Institute from other research institutions and universities throughout the world. The Founders’original letter to the first Trustees described the objectives of the Institute as follows:“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 ex- istence 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 per- manently by the Institute. Generally, the donors of these assets permit the Institute to use all or part of the in- come 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 des- ignated 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 as- STATEMENTS FINANCIAL TO NOTES sets released from restrictions.

(a) Contributions Contributions, including unconditional promises to give, are recognized as revenues in the period received. Condi- tional 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 0.19% to 0.61%. Amortization of discount is recorded as additional contribution revenue in accordance with donor-imposed restrictions, if any, on the contributions. 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.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, except for those managed as a component of the Institute’s investment portfolio.

105 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:14 PM Page 106

(c) Investments Investments in marketable securities are reported in the financial statements at fair value based on published market quotations. Investments in limited partnerships and hedge funds are reported in the financial statements at estimated fair value using net asset value (NAV) or its equivalent as a practical expedient, based upon values provided by exter- nal investment managers or general partners, unless it is probable that all or a portion of the investment will be sold for an amount different from NAV.The Institute reviews and evaluates the values provided by external investment man- agers 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. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Institute had no plans or intentions to sell in- vestments at amounts different from NAV. 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 or law. 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 em- ployees who have met certain requirements stipulated by the board of trustees.

(d) Fair Value Measurements 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 par- ticipants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable in- puts and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • 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 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. 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 addi- tion, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial asset and does not re- flect 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. Because the net asset value reported by limited partnerships and hedge funds is used as a practical expedient to esti- mate fair value of the Institute’s interest therein, classification of such investments in the fair value hierarchy as Level 2 or 3 is based on the Institute’s ability to redeem its interest at or near the balance sheet date. If the interest can be re- deemed in the near term, the investment is classified as Level 2.

(e) 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).

(f) Deferred Revenue Amounts received on conditional grants are recorded initially as deferred revenue and are reported as revenues when expended in accordance with the terms of the condition.

(g) Split-Interest Agreements

NOTESTOFINANCIALSTATEMENTS 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

106 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:14 PM Page 107

difference between the fair value of the assets contributed to the Institute and the estimated liability to the benefi- ciary.This liability is computed using actuarially determined rates and is adjusted annually to reflect changes in the life expectancy of the donor or annuitant, amortization of the discount and other changes in the estimates of fu- ture payments.The assets held by the Institute under these arrangements are recorded at fair value as determined by quoted market prices and are included as a component of investments.

(h) 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, 2011 and 2010 were net of accumulated amortization of $810,820 and $756,673, respectively.

(i) 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 accor- dance with the Institute’s spending policy for investments held for endowment and similar purposes, as more fully dis- cussed 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. Private contributions and grants budgeted for operations are included in operating revenues, gains and other support. All other private contributions and grants are considered other revenues, gains and other support.

(j) 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, 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 car- rying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capital- ized 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.

(k) Fund Raising Expenses Fund raising expenses incurred by the Institute amounted to $1,349,617 and $1,302,728 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This amount is included in administration and general expenses in the accompanying statements of activities.

(l) 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 cat- egories.

(m) Tax Status OE OFNNILSTATEMENTS FINANCIAL TO NOTES 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 charity under Section 509(a) of the Code. There are certain transactions that could be deemed unrelated business income and would result in a tax liability. Man- agement reviews transactions to estimate potential tax liabilities using a threshold of more likely than not. It is man- agement’s estimation that there are no material tax liabilities that need to be recorded.

(n) 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 disclo- sure 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.

(2) Contributions Receivable Unconditional promises to give at June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

During fiscal 2011, the Institute received two conditional pledges totaling $100 million to enhance the Institute’s endowment fund. The pledges are conditioned on the Institute raising an additional $100 million in cash or pledges from third party donors in the period January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2015. The conditional pledge payments began in June 2011 and will continue through March 31, 2016. During fiscal 2011, the Institute received $4 million which is recorded in other revenues, gains, and other support: private contributions and grants in the accompanying financial statements. (3) Investments, Funds Held by Bond Trustee, and Beneficial Interest in Remainder Trust (a) Overall Investment Objective The overall investment objective of the Institute is to invest its assets in a prudent manner that will achieve a long-term rate of return sufficient to fund a portion of its annual operating activities and capital preservation. The Institute di- versifies its investments among various managers and investment opportunities. 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, de- termined on a quarterly basis. Major investment decisions are authorized by the Board’s Investment Committee, which oversees the Institute’s investment program in accordance with established guidelines.

(b) Allocation of Investment Strategies In addition to traditional stocks and fixed-income securities, the Institute may also hold shares or units in traditional institutional funds as well as in alternative investment funds involving hedged strategies, private equity, and real asset strategies. Hedged strategies involve funds whose managers have the authority to invest in various asset classes at their discretion, including the ability to invest long and short. Funds with hedged strategies generally hold securities or other financial instruments for which a ready market exists and may include stocks, bonds, put or call options, swaps, currency hedges, and other instruments, and are valued accordingly. Private equity funds employ buyout and venture capital strategies and focus on investments in turn-around situations. Real asset funds generally hold interests in pub- lic real estate investment trusts (REITS) or commercial real estate through sole-member entities. Private equity and real asset strategies therefore often require the estimation of fair values by the fund managers in the absence of readily determinable market values. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, these estimated fair values may differ significantly from values that would have been used had a ready market existed, and the differences could be material. Such valuations are determined by fund managers and generally consider variables such as operating results, compa- rable earnings multiples, projected cash flows, recent sales prices, and other pertinent information, and may reflect dis- counts for the illiquid nature of certain investments held.

The Institute’s accounting policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.There were no transfers of investments classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 for the years ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. Private equity and venture capital investments are generally made through limited partnerships. Under the terms of such agreements, the Institute may be required to provide additional funding when capital or liquidity calls are made by fund managers. These partnerships have a limited existence, and they may provide for annual extensions for the purpose of disposing portfolio positions and returning capital to investors. However, depending on market conditions, the inabil- ity to execute the fund’s strategy, or other factors, a manager may extend the terms of a fund beyond its originally an- ticipated existence or may wind the fund down prematurely.The Institute cannot anticipate such changes because they generally arise from unforeseeable events, but should they occur they could reduce liquidity or originally anticipated in- vestment returns. Accordingly, the timing and amount of future capital or liquidity calls in any particular future year are uncertain. As of June 30, 2011, the Institute is obligated under certain limited partnership agreements to advance addi- tional funding in the amount of $86,596,821, which is anticipated to be called over the next 10 years. 111 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:14 PM Page 112

These funds are being held in trust by The Bank of NewYork. Such funds are invested in U.S. government obligations with maturities of less than one year.

(d) Redemption Restrictions—Hedge Funds At June 30, 2011, the Institute had hedge fund investments of approximately $464,329,000, of which approximately $126,405,300 was restricted from redemption for lock-up periods. At June 30, 2010, the Institute had hedge fund in- vestments of approximately $430,834,000, of which approximately $127,457,000 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. The expirations of redemption lock-up periods are summarized in the table below:

(e) Redemption Restrictions—Limited Partnerships At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Institute had limited partnership investments of approximately $89,493,600 and $71,778,900, respectively, which were 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.

(f) Contingencies The Institute has an investment in the Ariel Fund Limited (the Fund), which on June 30, 2011 and 2010 had a fair value of approximately $15,391,000 and $18,854,000, respectively. During fiscal year 2009, the fund became subject to the oversight of a receiver appointed by the Attorney General of NewYork for the principal purposes of mar- shalling and preserving the assets of the Fund, for ultimate distribution of the proceeds to the respective investors of the Fund. During fiscal 2011, the Institute received the first distribution of $4,677,839 from the receiver. There is a potential for litigation to recover amounts from investors who have received previous distributions from the Fund. Man- agement does not expect this to have a significant impact on the Institute’s financial statements. (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 de- termined 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 for operating and cap- ital purposes was 4.7% for 2011 and 2010. The following tables summarize the investment return and its classification in the statements of activities for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Total investment management and advisory fees were $2,464,321 and $2,766,610 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 as- sociated 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.

113 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:14 PM Page 114

(a) Interpretation of Relevant Law The Institute has interpreted the New Jersey-enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) as allowing the Institute to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of a donor-re- stricted endowment fund as the Institute determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment fund is established, subject to the intent of the donor as expressed in the gift instrument. Unless stated otherwise in the gift instrument, the assets in a donor-restricted endowment fund are donor-restricted assets until ap- propriated for expenditure by the Board of Trustees of the Institute. As a result of applicable accounting guidance in- cluded in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 958-205-45, Not-for-Profit Entities: Presentation of Financial Statements, Other Presentation Matters (ASC 958-205-45), the Institute classifies as per- manently 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) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in ac- cordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified as permanently restricted net as- sets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA. From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowments may fall below the original corpus of the fund included in permanently restricted net assets due to unfavorable market fluctuations sub- sequent to the investment of the gift. Deficiencies of this nature, which are reported in unrestricted net assets in ac- cordance with ASC 958-205-45, totaled approximately $1,202,000 and $1,369,000, at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Subsequent gains that restore the fair value of the assets of the donor-restricted endowment fund are clas- sified as an increase in unrestricted net assets. Endowment net assets consisted of the following at June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Reclassification of unrestricted net assets represents amounts reclassified by the Institute to temporarily restricted and permanently restricted net assets to satisfy donor matching requirements.

(b) 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 STATEMENTS FINANCIAL TO NOTES endowment assets.

(c) 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.

(f) Bond Swap Agreement On April 18, 2006, the Institute entered into a swap agreement with Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank covering $29,600,000 of outstanding 2006 Series B Bonds that required the Institute to pay a fixed rate of 3.7702% to Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank in exchange for Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank agreeing to pay the Institute a vari- able rate equal to 67% of the USD-LIBOR-BBA rate with a term of three months, payable monthly, on an identical notional amount. The effective date of the swap was July 19, 2006 and the termination date of the swap agreement coincides with the maturity of the bonds, which is July 1, 2031. In September 2008, the filing of a petition in bank- ruptcy by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. constituted an “Event of Default,” giving the Institute the right to termi- nate the swap and designate an Early Termination Date on notice to Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank. On December 22, 2008, the Institute entered into a new swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank covering $28,800,000 of outstanding Series B Bonds that required the Institute to pay a fixed rate of 3.7702% to Wells Fargo Bank in exchange forWells Fargo Bank agreeing to pay the Institute a variable rate equal to 67% of the USD-LIBOR-BBA rate with a term of three months, payable monthly, on an identical notional amount. The effective date of the swap was December 22, 2008 and the termination date of the swap agreement coincides with the maturity of the bonds, which is July 1, 2031. The Institute entered into this swap agreement with the intention of lowering its effective interest rate. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the interest rate swap was ($3,940,182) and ($4,629,600), respectively.The unrealized gain (loss) recognized during the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 in the amount of $689,418 and ($1,115,233), re- spectively is reported in the statements of activities in change in fair value of bond swap liability.The swap agreement utilizes level 2 inputs to measure fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using pricing models developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and other market data. Under the swap agreement, the Institute may be required to post collateral to the counterparty if certain triggering events (rates and dollar thresholds) are met. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there was no requirement to post collateral imposed by the swap counterparty. OE OFNNILSTATEMENTS FINANCIAL TO NOTES The bonds are repayable as follows at June 30, 2011: Amount ______Year ending June 30: 2012 $ 2,055,000 2013 2,290,000 2014 2,320,000 2015 2,360,000 2016 2,505,000 2017 through 2036 ______43,440,000 Total $ 54,970,000 ______

The 2001 Series A, 2006 Series B, 2006 Series C, and 2008 Series C bonds are secured by a pledge of revenues pursuant to the respective Loan Agreements.

(g) Line of Credit As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Institute had an unsecured loan agreement representing a line of credit.The agree- ment provides for borrowings up to $20,000,000 and is available through January 2012.As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no amounts outstanding against the line of credit. Interest payments are due on demand and interest 117 G12-11681_Text.qxp:Layout 1 2/9/12 5:14 PM Page 118

accrues at the LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points, which was 1.73% and 2.19% as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respec- tively. No interest expense was recorded for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. (8) Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits Separate voluntary defined contribution retirement plans are in effect for faculty members and eligible staff personnel, both of which provide for annuities, which are funded, to the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association and/or the College Re- tirement Equities Fund. Contributions are based on the individual participant’s compensation in accordance with the formula set forth in the plan documents on a nondiscriminatory basis. Contributions for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 to- taled approximately $2,085,000 and $2,066,000, respectively. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Institute provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired em- ployees and faculty. Substantially, all of the Institute’s employees may become eligible for these benefits if they meet minimum age and service requirements. The Institute accrues these benefits over a period in which active employees become eligible under existing benefit plans. The following table provides a reconciliation of the change in benefit obligation of the plan at June 30, 2011 and 2010.There are no plan assets at June 30, 2011 and 2010. 2011 2010 Postretirement benefit obligation: ______Retirees $ 6,535,144 5,853,000 Fully eligible active plan participants 1,292,141 1,746,000 Other active plan participants ______6,626,827 ______6,983,000 Postretirement benefit obligation $ 14,454,112 14,582,000 ______Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 14,582,000 10,469,000 Service cost 691,000 450,000 Interest cost 773,000 633,000 Benefits paid (413,758) (375,946) Actuarial (gain) loss ______(1,178,130) ______3,405,946 Benefit obligation at end of year $ 14,454,112 14,582,000 ______Components of net periodic benefit cost: Service cost $ 691,000 450,000 Interest cost 773,000 633,000 Amortization of net (gain) loss ______(1,178,130) ______3,405,946 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 285,870 4,488,946 ______

______2011 ______2010 Benefit obligation weighted average assumptions at June 30, 2011 and 2010: Discount rate 5.61% 5.40% Periodic benefit cost weighted average assumptions for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010: Discount rate 5.40% 6.19%

The current year trend rate for health care costs was 10.0% and 11.0% at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. It is estimated that it will take 9 years and 10 years to reach the ultimate trend rate of 5.0% at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. NOTESTOFINANCIALSTATEMENTS

The effects of a 1% increase or decrease in trend rates on total service and interest cost and the postretirement benefit obligation are as follows:

______2011 ______2010 ______Increase ______Decrease ______Increase ______Decrease Effect on total service and interest cost $ 335,000 (258,000) 222,000 (175,000) Effect on the postretirement benefit obligation 2,468,152 (1,975,416) 2,514,000 (2,011,000)

Projected payments for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter through 2021 are as follows:

______Amount Year ending June 30: 2012 $ 562,000 2013 587,000 2014 623,000 2015 651,000 2016 674,000 2017 through 2021 4,016,000

The Institute funds claims as they are incurred. The Institute does not expect to contribute any amounts in fiscal 2012, ex- cept as needed to provide for benefit payments. In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “Health Care Acts”) were signed into law by President Obama. The Health Care Acts include several provisions that may affect an organization’s postretirement benefit plans, including imposing an excise tax on high cost coverage, eliminating life- time and annual coverage limits, reducing subsidies to Medicare Advantage plans, and imposing inflation-adjusted fees of $2 ($1 in fiscal year 2013) for each person covered by a health insurance policy for each policy plan year ending after September 30, 2012 through September 30, 2019. The Institute has evaluated the effects of the Health Care Acts and concluded that there is no material impact on the Institute’s measurement of its postretirement health benefit obligation. The Institute will continue to monitor developments, interpretations, and guidance relating to the law and incorporate the latest thinking in future meas- urements.

(11) Subsequent Events In September 2011, the Institute entered into three new equity swap agreements, totaling approximately $80,000,000, with Goldman Sachs to hedge against fluctuations in the S&P index relative to their overall investment portfolio.The effective dates of the swap range between September 21, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and the formal termination dates of each swap is one year after the trade date, unless amended. The Institute evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2011 and through November 15, 2011, the date on which the finan- cial statements were issued. The Institute determined there were no additional subsequent events required to be disclosed. NOTESTOFINANCIALSTATEMENTS
