The eighteenth-century dramatist Arthur Murray famously wrote that “the people of England are never so happy as when you tell them they are ruined.” It sometimes seems that we in the humanities often share the British satisfaction in narratives of our own decline. There’s no doubt that the effects of the Great Recession have heightened the sense of threat from malign forces and despair about the future. In spring 2010, the Review of the Chronicle of Higher Education asked, “Is Graduate Education in the Humanities Broken?” and the annual meeting of the Education Writers Association featured a panel entitled “The Future of the Humanities in Higher Education: Beginning of the End?”

But reports of our death are greatly exaggerated. At ACLS, we do not see signs of rigor mortis in the humanities; instead, we see intellectual vigor and scholarly accomplishment aplenty. There are certainly serious problems with which we must wrestle, but crisis-mongering is no substitute for effective action. It is better, perhaps, to follow the simple advice given by a poster the British government distributed at the outbreak of World War II. It had only five words underneath a heraldic crown: “Keep Calm and Carry On.”

ACLS President Pauline Yu The fund balance of the ACLS endowment is still below its pre-meltdown peak, but thanks to the contributions of foundations, generous individuals, and colleges and universities, our support of scholarship and research in 2010 is at a new high: over $15 million in stipends and grants awarded worldwide.

“The secret of success is constancy of purpose,” said Benjamin Disraeli. Our purpose— the first and final reason that ACLS and, indeed, our member societies exist—is to provide the scholarly community of the humanities and related social sciences with the means of setting their own intellectual direction. Our fellowship competitions, international programs, and exploration of new developments in scholarly communication not only share this aim, but could not operate without the very real and active contributions of colleagues and partners who serve as reviewers, advisers, and, in many cases, co-designers of ACLS initiatives.

We had a valuable opportunity to reflect on our work in September, when we hosted a meeting of the heads of other national organizations granting fellowships in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. Represented at the gathering were the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the National Humanities Center, the Institute for Advanced Study, the New York Public Library’s Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. We expect that future meetings will include leaders of institutions that were unable to attend, such as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.

One of the first points we all noted was that research fellowships represent a demonstrably efficient means of advancing scholarship in the humanities. Precisely because the fellowship mechanism is so familiar in our fields, it is worth emphasizing what a For President Yu’s Reports to the Council, distinctive form of research funding we offer.

monies is often driven by the funder’s specification of the question to be addressed. In national humanities fellowship competitions, by contrast, the intellectual initiative of the individual is the most critical ingredient of a proposal. Such individual work and achievement is too often undervalued in our society, even though this approach to research support is profoundly democratic.

A great deal of scholarly energy and expertise is mobilized across ACLS’s competitions, both through applications and the review process. Like other fellowship-granting organizations, we experienced an increased volume of applications in 2009–10. In our endowment-funded central program, we received 20 applications for every award available; in 1997, the ratio of applications to awards was 9 to 1.

To what can we ascribe this change? Certainly the higher stipends our fellowships now carry make them more attractive, and the increased visibility and accessibility of our competitions—thanks to outreach efforts and investment in our online appli- cation system—are also significant. Less happily, we suspect that many faculty are confronting reductions in support for research at their home institutions, or at least finding that obtaining research leave requires securing outside funding.

But we cannot lose sight of—indeed, we should underscore and celebrate—the under lying fact that the humanities professoriate is dedicated to research and ambitious to accomplish it. In that sense, it is reassuring that our fellowship competitions are rigorous and that our selection committees find choices difficult. That is what produces the intellectual snap, crackle, and pop we hear when the review panels meet in our conference rooms. But the yawning gap between the funding available—at ACLS and across the entire set of fellowship-granting organizations—and the number of meritorious applications received means that we have hobbled our national capacity for increasing knowledge and curricular innovation.

The enormous and urgent demand we are experiencing means we must redouble our efforts to increase the amount of fellowships we can offer each year. The Great Recession has retarded any ambitious plans, but it will certainly not abrogate them. I am delighted to report that 30 of the 32 research universities that provided special support for the ACLS fellowship program over the past 10 years have renewed their commitments into the coming decade, and that two others, Vanderbilt University and the University of California, Davis, have joined them. The ACLS Research University Consortium has, collectively, provided more than $1.5 million a year to the ACLS fellowship endowment. These high-minded institutions recognize that ACLS is their partner in the difficult business of recognizing excellence in research and that national metrics of excellence benefit the entire system of higher education—a system of which they are such a prominent component.

The endowment of the central ACLS fellowship program ensures that it will be a permanent piece of the national infrastructure for supporting research. The New Faculty Fellows program introduced in 2009, funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is designed to address the radical and rapid constriction of the academic job market in the face of the recession. The program also models a form of postdoctoral/ pre-tenure-track appointment that allows for both the professional development of

2 young scholars and the strengthening of the teaching capacity of the departments receiving them. The breathtaking success of the program’s placement process under lines again how a trusted peer-review process creates value. Every one of the program’s awardees received at least one appointment offer from a participating college or university. Many received multiple offers—one awardee received 15—and about 300 offers were made in total. To be sure, the New Faculty Fellows were attractive to colleges and universities in part because the cost of their appointments would be subsidized by their awards. But these are not free appointments: colleges and universities are sharing in the cost of stipends and health insurance. It is not surprising that the competition to appoint fellows was as vigorous as the competition to become one. Indeed, the two processes are linked; the assurance of quality provided by ACLS’s stringent peer review was itself a market stimulant.

This program is also a clear example of the purpose I have already mentioned: ACLS helping to provide the means for the humanities community to discover and manage its own necessary innovation. The idea for the New Faculty Fellows program emerged from a meeting of the representatives of our Research University Consortium in February 2009. Assembled deans, center directors, and others noted that a cohort was at risk. Many deserve the credit for moving this initiative so rapidly from a general idea to a competition involving more than 100 institutions and nearly 900 applicants. The active participation of college and university leaders was essential during all stages of mapping and mounting the program, and we must, of course, thank the Mellon Foundation—but not for money alone. No less important than the funding provided was the supportive partnership and wise guidance of Senior Vice President Harriet Zuckerman and Program Officer Joe Meisel in this endeavor.

ACLS also continues its work abroad. Our current set of international programs concerns five regions: Africa, Eastern Europe, the Slavic republics of the former USSR, and East and Southeast Asia. The priorities of funders have played a large role in determining that geography, but the principles of ACLS have determined their form. Open, peer-reviewed competitions identify and support excellent scholar ship. The process of peer review catalyzes transinstitutional and international scholarly networks, at least one of which has become an independent learned society: the International Humanities Association incorporated in Ukraine and reaching into Russia and Belarus, which is the outgrowth of a 12-year program in those countries funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. ACLS’s international programs promote these means of scholarly self-governance in areas where official directives have customarily shaped academic life.

Only a half generation ago, a conversation mentioning Google, Yahoo, YouTube, blogs, wikis, tweets, and Twitter would have sounded like baby talk, but that vocabulary is now necessary to read the business page and the strategic plans of almost any nonprofit organization. Communication builds community, including the communities of knowledge that the member societies of ACLS represent. When, 50 years ago, ACLS issued its first study of computers in the humanities, digital technologies were the exclusive property of universities, mega-corporations, and the military. Now the sociology of ubiquitous computing shapes the academic environment and scholarly communication as surely as does the economy.

3 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT CONTINUED

The ACLS History E-Book project, now Humanities E-Book (HEB), began in 1999 as an experiment. In partnership with 5 learned societies and 10 university presses, it sought to develop a digital collection of selected scholarly books that could also serve as a site for further collaboration among societies, libraries, and publishers. In the years since, many digital projects, launched to great fanfare and often at great cost, have fallen out of cyberspace, but HEB’s clean design and careful management have won it a second decade. Subscribers to Humanities E-Book now can access and cross-search more than 2,800 titles containing more than one million pages and 80,000 images. Individual members of ACLS constituent societies can subscribe to the collection directly, an opportunity especially valuable to independent scholars and faculty whose institutional libraries do not license large digital databases. Tracking the use of the HEB collection also provides insight into trends in teaching and research. While for most of the past decade, works on Islam and the Middle East were the most accessed titles in the collection, Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities now leads the top 10 list—a roster of works in world history that is truly global in its reach.

Yet while ACLS successfully “carries on” in accordance with the British slogan, we also acknowledge that “keeping calm” should not mean a retreat to a comfortable complacency or a reflexive refusal to consider change or to acknowledge the possi- bility that long-term perturbations in the economic climate affect the health of the humanities within higher education and research.

First, some historical context. Forty-two years ago, in an eventful 1969, sociologists Christopher Jencks and David Riesman authored The Academic Revolution. It is stirring and startling to recall what they wrote about graduate schools, which were experiencing growing enrollment and status at the time:

Both in their own minds and in the minds of other professional schools, they occupy a position somewhat comparable to that of theology in the medieval university. Other professional schools justify themselves (and their budgets) in terms of external problems and needs. The graduate academic departments are for the most part autotelic. They resent even being asked whether they produce significant benefits to society beyond the edification of their own members, and mark down the questioner as an anti-intellectual. To suggest that the advancement of a particular academic discipline is not synonymous with the advancement of the human condition is regarded as myopic. Perhaps, considering the affluence of American taxpayers and the relatively ample supply of talented, well-educated college graduates, it really is. Ah, yes! The affluent American taxpayer prepared to support higher education and finance graduate education, no questions asked. Where is he now? Professors Jencks and Riesman must have glimpsed this fabled actor in one of his final appearances on the political stage.

A much different drama, in a very different context, unfolds today, one in which most public expenditures are presumed wasteful until proven useful, and the budget process consists almost entirely of zero-sum choices. California, where Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed measuring support for higher education against

4 the total cost of the correctional system, is the acme, or perhaps the nadir, of this dynamic. The University of California system’s vice provost for academic affairs described this as a situation where “we are heading toward a cliff, we are accelerating, and we have no brakes.”

Berkeley historian David A. Hollinger, the current president of the Organization of American Historians, has framed the debate somewhat differently. In the April 2010 newsletter of the Townsend Center for the Humanities at the University of California, Berkeley, Hollinger writes, “In the specific tax environment that now exists in California, does our historic standing as a public university remain compat- ible with our equally historic standing as a campus of intellectual distinction? It is irresponsible for us as a faculty to continue to avoid this deeply unwelcome question, and to deny collegial support to those of our administrators who are trying to confront it.” Because “institutions and practices are historically contingent,” Hollinger argues that the UC system, and Berkeley in particular, can no longer be both “good” and “public” as a low-tuition institution accessible to almost all strata of society. If that is the choice, Hollinger prefers to be “good,” even if it means turning away from Clark Kerr’s Master Plan for education in California, which was posited in 1960 “during a period of prosperity and diminishing class inequalities” that now seems a long time ago and far, far away.

As David Hollinger well knows, he is proposing a major rethinking of one of the most notable designs of public higher education in American history. He is taking seriously the scale of the problem. But the problem is not a catastrophe. As former Columbia Provost Jonathan Cole argues in The Great American University, the American research university is still the envy of the world and likely to be so for some time to come. Indeed, when we take the global view, we see an institutional convergence toward the American model of combining research and teaching, and of embracing general, professional, and specialist education. Prominent Chinese univer sities, for example, are seeking to improve undergraduate education by developing a version of the liberal arts college based on the American model.

But even if higher education is not ruined, we cannot be complacent, let alone happy. In an article in the Winter 2009 issue of Daedalus, Harriet Zuckerman and Ronald Ehrenberg provide an empirically grounded, powerfully understated analysis of the health of the academic humanities within the context of U.S. higher education. After looking at data concerning salaries, enrollment, employment, and library and publishing expenditures, they conclude that there is “some cause for optimism, some for pessimism, and much that leads to uneasiness” about the relative standings of our fields. That their data were drawn from a moment before the effects of the recession were felt only heightens that uneasiness. As they dryly note, “The major financial problems the nation is confronting have already begun to affect institutions of higher education adversely.”

Understanding and measuring the relative position of the humanities is important, but even more salient is their clarification of the determinants of those measures. “One thing is clear,” they write. “The support the academic humanities can now call upon is the product of a great many forces operating outside the academy and

5 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT CONTINUED

within it.” Those forces include the shrinking resource base of public colleges and universities, the “federal government’s retreat from supporting a substantial share of academic science” just as universities were making major investments in that domain, an understandable priority given to increasing access to college, and the fact that “the humanities have failed to find many eager patrons outside the academy.”

None of these forces will be quickly reversed; in fact, they are likely to set the conditions for the academic humanities for some time. Earl Lewis, provost at Emory University, noted to his fellow members of the ACLS Board of Directors that coping with these conditions will require “a deep level of self-examination and reflection.” Let us do so with constancy of purpose. If we are to demand self-governance, we must enact self-governance by engaging in that self-examination so as to help make the serious choices confronting our colleges and universities. Several of our societies are well advanced in this process. ACLS should and will do more to present their reflections to the academic public.

But as we carry on under the current conditions, we should also reflect on how we can better present the value proposition that we know is inherent in the humanities but that is not understood and appreciated by our potential public patrons—and by public I mean much more than the federal government. In particular, we need to explode the widespread impression, shared both inside and outside the academy, that the academic humanities are just a bunch of smart people being clever on paper. The humanities are research enterprises in which new knowledge and better understanding are created from diligent searching, discovery, interpretation, and analysis. Our research renews the whole fund of human knowledge. Without the renewal the humanities provide, that fund of knowledge will deteriorate and soon be—how can I put it?—sub-prime. It’s not difficult to make the case for the impor- tance of the humanities in fulfilling the teaching mission of the university, but too many people stop there. We must make more visible the equally crucial research dimension of the humanities.

Let me conclude with one more reference from Great Britain, this time from Winston Churchill. It is, incidentally, interesting that while Churchill is the most quoted Briton, the most quoted American is probably Yogi Berra. To both men are attributed oft-cited comments about what is yet to come. Berra, of course, is said to have observed that “prediction is very hard, especially about the future.” Churchill appears to have been undaunted by this challenge, and, ever the unreconstructed imperialist, predicted that “the empire of the future will be the empire of the mind.” But it was the British Commonwealth, of course, that succeeded the British Empire.

And what of our commonwealth of the mind? We can fairly assert that if it lacks the knowledge gained by research in the humanities, it will be a deeply impoverished one. It is our task to make sure that is not the case.

6 INTRODUCTION

The American Council of Learned Societies provides the humanities and related social sciences with leadership, opportunities for innovation, and national and international representation. ACLS was founded in 1919 to represent the United States in the Union Académique Internationale. Its mission is “the advancement of humanistic studies in all fields of the humanities and social sciences and the maintenance and strengthening of national societies dedicated to those studies.”

7 A iding R ese arch

ACLS continues to be the leading private institution supporting scholars in the humanities and related social sciences at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels. In 2010, the Council gave over $15 million in fellowship stipends and other awards to more than 380 scholars in the United States and abroad. This represents a funding increase of 50% over the previous year. In fall 2009, ACLS responded to the economic crisis and “jobless market” that confronts recent Ph.D.s in the humanities by imple- menting the New Faculty Fellows program, which allowed 65 awardees to take up two-year positions at universities and colleges across the United States where their particular research and teaching expertise augment departmental offerings. With generous support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a second competition is underway in 2010–11. Fall 2009 also marked the second year of competitions for both the ACLS Collaborative Research Fellow ships program, which offers small teams of two or more scholars the opportunity to collaborate

A C L S M em b er L ear ned S oci eties

The 70 learned societies that are members of ACLS are national or international organizations in the humanities and related social sciences. The newest member, the Society for Military History, was admitted in May 2010. The executive directors of ACLS member societies meet as the Conference of Administrative Officers (CAO), which serves as the primary vehicle for maintaining and enhancing relationships among societies. It convenes twice each year to address the concerns of the academic humanities, especially issues related to maintaining and improving conditions for research, education, and communication among scholars.

At its 2009–10 meetings, the CAO continued discussions of the impact of the economic crisis on scholars and society operations. It was noted that many societies were seeing increases in membership and meeting attendance even in these difficult times, demonstrating the value that scholars find in these organizations. At the fall 2009 meeting in Portland, Oregon, the CAO also heard presentations on national policy and undergraduate education; virtual communities that further scholarly research and networking; and effective society leadership.

At CAO meetings President Yu offers an update on ACLS program planning and activities; her comments this year addressed the continuing impact of the economic downturn on ACLS endowments, as well as the increasing foundation support that has allowed ACLS’s fellowship offerings to flourish nonetheless.

ACLS has long supported scholarship internationally and promoted collaboration between academic communities in the United States and other world areas. In its second annual competition, the African Humanities Program (AHP) awarded 39 dissertation and postdoctoral fellowships to humanists in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. The program, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, also sponsored meetings in each of these countries that included presentations on new work in the humanities and workshops on writing research proposals. AHP follows the example of the Humanities Program in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine, which was developed to ensure future leadership in the humanities in its region. Following its twelfth competition in 2009–10, program administration will be assumed by the International Association for the Humanities (IAH), an independent association of humanities scholars primarily in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine founded to help represent the post-Soviet region in the international scholarly community. ACLS will continue to support and collaborate with the IAH.

The Luce/ACLS Grants to Individuals in East and Southeast Asian Archaeology and Early History program concluded in 2009–10 with 31 awards to Asian and North American scholars. An “Early Career Seminar” in June 2010—the second such event sponsored by the program— allowed award recipients to present their research-in-progress to senior scholars in an atmosphere of rigorous but collegial criticism. Panel discussion topics included state formation in early China; religious communities; landscape, culture, and society; the transition from hunting-gathering to agriculture; and diet, environment, and health.

S cholarly C omm unication

Since its founding, ACLS has funded major studies on scholarly communication and supported the creation of landmark scholarly publications. ACLS Humanities E-Book (HEB), an online collection of 2,800 digitized and born-digital titles, continues to grow and to experiment with all forms of and partnerships in digital scholarly publishing.

Two current ACLS-funded projects have print and online publication components. The American National Biography was published in 24 volumes in 1999. Its online counterpart, ANB Online, is a regularly updated resource, currently offering over 18,300 biographies, including the 17,435 of the print edition. The Darwin Corre spondence Project was founded in 1974 by Frederick H. Burkhardt, president emeritus of ACLS and general editor of the project until his death in 2007. All known letters to and from Charles Darwin will be published in an edition ultimately comprising 32 volumes. Volume 18 was released in 2010. The full texts of over 6,000 For more information on ACLS publications and initiatives, see of Darwin’s letters and information on 9,000 more are now available in a searchable www.acls.org/programs. database on the project’s website (www.darwinproject.ac.uk).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors American Council of Learned Societies New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of the American Council of Learned Societies (the “Council”) as of June 30, 2010, and the related statement of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Council’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the American Council of Learned Societies as of June 30, 2010, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

47 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2010

Note A – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

1. Organization: The American Council of Learned Societies (the “Council”), incorporated in Washington D.C. in 1924, was established in 1919, and is located in New York City. The Council is a private, not-for-profit federation of national scholarly organizations, funded largely by grants from private foundations and universities and by federal grants (principally from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the U.S. Department of State). The purpose of the Council is the advancement of humanistic studies in all fields of learning and the maintenance and strengthening of relations among the national societies devoted to such studies. The Council is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and from state and local taxes under comparable laws.

2. Basis of accounting: The accompanying financial statements of the Council have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as applicable to not-for-profit entities.

3. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Functional allocation of expenses: The cost of providing the various programs and supporting services has been summarized on a functional basis in the accompanying statement of activities. Accordingly, expenses have been allocated among the programs and supporting services using appropriate measurement methodologies developed by management.

5. Grants and accounts receivable: Grants and accounts receivable are recorded as revenue at the earlier of the receipt of an unconditional pledge or the receipt of cash or other assets. Receivables are considered available for unrestricted use, unless the donors restrict the use thereof, either on a temporary or permanent basis. Receivables to be received over periods greater than one year are discounted at an appropriate interest rate. Revenue has been recognized based on the present value of the estimated future payments to be made to the Council.

6. Investments: Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at their fair values in the accompanying statements of financial position, with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the accompanying statements of activities. The Council’s bond and equity mutual funds are also reported at their fair values, as determined by the related investment manager or advisor. Donated securities are recorded at their fair values, at the dates of donation. The Council has investments in certain not-readily-marketable securities which are ownership interests in private equity securities and certain limited partnerships for which market values are not readily obtainable. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of these investments, the Council and its various investment managers monitor their positions to reduce the risk of potential losses due to changes in fair values or the failure of counterparties to perform. The estimated values provided by these managers may differ from actual values had a ready market for these investments existed.

48 Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are determined by comparison of the average cost of acquisition to proceeds at the time of disposition. The earnings from dividends and interest are recognized when earned. Inv estment expenses include the services of investment managers and custodians. The balances of investment management fees disclosed in Note B are those specific fees charged by the Council’s various investment managers in each fiscal year; however, they do not include those fees that are embedded in various other investment accounts and transactions.

7. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at their costs at the dates of acquisition. Building improvements are also capitalized, whereas costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from 5 to 30 years.

8. Deferred debt issuance costs: The cost associated with the issuance of New York City Industrial Development Agency Bonds has been capitalized and is being amortized over the life of the bonds on a straight-line basis. Amortization of deferred debt issuance was $11,677 during fiscal year 2010.

9. Accrued vacation: Based on their tenure, employees are entitled to be paid for unused vacation time if they leave the Council. The accrued vacation obligation was approximately $211,000 for fiscal-year 2010 and was reported as part of accrued expenses in the accompanying statement of financial position.

10. Net assets: The accompanying statement of activities presents the changes in the various classifications of net assets for fiscal-year 2010. The Council’s net assets, and the changes therein, are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions and are reported as follows: (a) Unrestricted: Unrestricted net assets represent those resources not subject to donor-imposed restrictions. Substantially all of the Council’s unrestricted net assets, exclusive of the amounts representing the property and equipment, have been allocated by formal resolution of the Board of Directors to board-designated endowment, the unrestricted earnings of which will be applied to future support of its central fellowship program and administrative expenses. Annually, any amount up to, but not greater than, the excess of its unrestricted revenue over expenses, including unrealized gains or losses on its entire investment portfolio, may be so designated. (b) Temporarily restricted: Temporarily restricted net assets represent those resources that have been restricted by donors to specific purposes. They consist mostly of grants, primarily from governmental and private-sector sources, that are available for the support of specific program activities as stipulated in the grantor agreements. Net assets released from restrictions represent the satisfaction of the restricted purposes specified.

49 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2010

(c) Permanently restricted: Permanently restricted net assets represent the corpus of gifts and grants accepted with the stipulation that the principal be maintained in perpetuity, and earnings from investments and net investment gains thereof be available for the Council’s programs and other purposes.

11. Revenue recognition: (a)Res tricted revenue received from U.S. government agencies, foundations and corporations is initially recorded as temporarily restricted upon the receipt of cash or unconditional obligations to give. As the restrictions are met, the support is reclassified as unrestricted. Restrictions are generally met when program and administration expenses relating to the designated purpose of the particular contract, grant or award are incurred. (b) The Council receives dues from its members. Dues applicable to a current year are recognized as revenue in that year. Dues received for a future year’s membership are deferred and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period of membership.

12. Endowment funds: The Council reports all applicable disclosures of its Board-designated and donor-restricted funds treated as endowment (see Note H).

13. Income tax uncertainties: In 2009, the Council adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10-05 relating to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. Because of the Council’s general tax-exempt status, ASC 740-10-05 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on the Council’s financial statements.

14. Fair-value measurement: The Council reports a fair-value measurement of all applicable assets and liabilities (see Note B).

15. Subsequent events: The Council considers all of the accounting treatments, and the related disclosures in the current fiscal-year’s financial statements, that may be required as the result of all events or transactions that occur after the fiscal year-end through the date of the independent auditors’ report.

16. Restatement of beginning net assets: The June 30, 2009 net assets have been restated to properly reflect additional grants receivable of $3,648,000 not previously recorded.

50 NOTE B – INVESTMENTS

At June 30, 2010, investments consisted of the following:

Fair Value Cost Money-market funds $ 23,586,915 $ 23,586,915 Certificates of deposit 5,176,088 5,176,088 Equity securities 22,163,468 21,672,683 Mutual funds 18,184,116 20,407,152 Limited partnerships 31,048,134 26,635,663 Private equity investment 3,551,814 2,773,425 $103,710,535 $100,251,926

The Council owns shares of a privately held, offshore company, the sole purpose of which is to be a limited partner in a limited-partnership investment vehicle. At June 30, 2010, the investment was valued at $3,551,814. The Council’s percentage of ownership of this investment does not warrant consolidation of the financial statements of the privately held company. During fiscal-year 2010, net investment income consisted of the following:

Interest and dividends $1,446,794 Net realized losses (95,803) Net unrealized gains 8,508,678 Less: investment expenses (300,400) $9,559,269

ASC 820-10-05 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of fair-value measurements. These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair-value hierarchy: •Leve l 1—Valuations are based on observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The types of investments and other assets included in Level 1 are exchange-traded debt and equity securities, short-term money-market funds, and actively traded obligations issued by the U.S. government and government agencies. • Level 2—Valuations are based on (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or (iii) pricing inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable at the reporting date. Level 2 assets include U.S. government and agency securities and corporate debt securities that are redeemable at or near the balance sheet date and for which a model was derived for valuation. •Leve l 3—Fair value is determined based on pricing inputs that are unobservable and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Level 3 assets include securities in privately held companies, secured notes, private corporate bonds, and limited partnerships, the underlying investments of which could not be independently valued, or cannot be immediately redeemed at or near the fiscal year-end.

51 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2010

Most investments classified in Level 3 consist of shares or units in investment funds, as opposed to direct interests in the funds’ underlying holdings, which may be marketable. Because the net asset value reported by each fund is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value of the Council’s interest therein, its classi fication in Level 3 is based on the Council’s ability to redeem its interest at or near its fiscal year-end. If the interest can be redeemed in the near term, the investment is classified as Level 2. The classification of investments in the fair-value hierarchy is not necessarily an indication of the risks, liquidity, or degree of difficulty in estimating the fair value of each investment’s underlying assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the fair values of the Council’s assets at June 30, 2010, in accordance with the ASC 820-10-05 valuation levels.

Level 1 Level 3 Total Money-market funds $ 23,586,915 $ 23,586,915 Certificates of deposit 5,176,088 5,176,088 Equity securities 22,163,468 22,163,468 Mutual funds 18,184,116 18,184,116 Limited partnerships $ 31,048,134 31,048,134 Private equity investment 3,551,814 3,551,814 Total investments $ 69,110,587 $ 34,599,948 $103,710,535

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2010

NOTE E – FELLOWSHIPS PAYABLE

Fellowships and stipends are awarded to institutions and individuals for the advancement of humanistic studies in all fields of learning. It is the Council’s policy, in conjunction with grant agreements, to allow recipients to choose when payments of awards are to be received. Fellowships and stipends are usually paid over a period of one to nine years. The Council records the expense and commitment of these fellowships and stipends when the awards are approved by the Council and accepted by the recipient. Fellowships and stipends are estimated to be paid as follows:

Year Ending June 30, Amount 2011 $ 8,131,044 2012 2,421,272 2013 4,208,926 $ 14,761,242

During fiscal-year 2010, the Council awarded fellowships and stipends of $14,641,763.

NOTE F – NEW YORK CIT Y INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY BONDS

To finance the acquisition of office space to be used as the Council’s place of operations, in August 2002, the Council borrowed $5,000,000 through the issuance, by the New York City Industrial Development Agency (“IDA”), of Civic Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2002 (the “Bonds”). The Bonds, in an aggregate original face amount of $5,000,000, mature on July 1, 2027 and bear interest at 5.250%. The Bonds may be redeemed by IDA or the Council at any time after July 1, 2012. The Bond indenture requires the Council to make annual sinking-fund payments in amounts sufficient to permit the redemption of principal upon maturity. Sinking fund payments began on July 1, 2003 and are required every July 1 thereafter until July 1, 2027, as summarized below:

Year Ending June 30, Amount 2011 $ 150,000 2012 160,000 2013 170,000 2014 175,000 2015 185,000 Thereafter 3,215,000 $ 4,055,000

54 In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the Council leased its properties to IDA for the duration of the debt, for a nominal rental, and concurrently leased the property back from IDA for the same period at a rental equal to annual debt service. The Council guarantees payment of rent under the lease agreement. Pursuant to the lease, the Council is required to maintain a Debt Service Reserve Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2010, $145,000 had been paid to the Debt Service Reserve Fund.

NOTE G – TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Changes in temporarily restricted net assets during fiscal-year 2010 were as follows:

Balance Release of Balance July 1, 2009 Program Support Restrictions June 30, 2010 Fellowship programs $ 10,067,170 $ 15,880,692 $(10,711,617) $ 15,236,245 Vietnam Program/CEEVN 4,605,566 1,063,252 (1,296,263) 4,372,555 Darwin Program 1,213,607 158,237 (326,866) 1,044,978 International programs 4,649,174 2,834,663 (3,266,669) 4,217,168 Electronic publishing 32,866 809,302 (816,551) 25,617 Other programs 1,152,250 824,356 (770,964) 1,205,642 $ 21,720,633 $ 21,570,502 $(17,188,930) $ 26,102,205

NOTE h – Accounting and reporting for ENDOWMENTs

1. The endowment: The Council’s endowment was established based on its mission and consists of both donor- restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowment. Board-designated funds are classified as unrestricted net assets, and funds with donor-imposed restrictions are classified as temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, with net gains reported as unrestricted or temporarily restricted, depending on the nature of the restrictions.

2. Interpretation of relevant law: The Council has interpreted the Washington D.C. Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (“UPMIFA”) as requiring maintenance of the historic dollar value of a permanently restricted gift, absent donor stipulations to the contrary. Accordingly, the Council classifies the value of original and subsequent gifts to endowment as permanently restricted net assets in the accompanying financial statements:

55 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2010

3. Endowment net-asset composition by type of fund as of June 30, 2010:

Central Fellowship Permanently Program Restricted Total Board-designated endowment funds $ 32,198,110 $ 32,198,110 Donor-restricted endowment funds $ 25,161,959 25,161,959 Total endowment funds $ 32,198,110 $ 25,161,959 $ 57,360,069

At June 30, 2010, net assets were permanently restricted to support the following:

Central Fellowship Program: Mellon Foundation $ 12,300,000 Ford Foundation 7,068,400 National Endowment for the Humanities 2,750,000 Rockefeller Foundation 1,000,000 William & Flora Hewlett Foundation 500,000 Carnegie Corporation 100,000 Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation 160,000 Other 2,395 23,880,795 Program Administration: Mellon Foundation 1,000,000

Other: Lumiansky Fund 281,164 $ 25,161,959

4. Changes in endowment net assets, for fiscal-year 2010:

Central Fellowship Permanently Program Restricted Total Net assets, beginning of year $ 25,443,886 $ 25,146,959 $ 50,590,845 Contributions 1,762,265 15,000 1,777,265 Investment return 3,802,411 3,758,029 7,560,440 Funds appropriated for expenditure (2,568,481) (2,568,481) Transfers 3,758,029 (3,758,029) Net assets, end of year $ 32,198,110 $ 25,161,959 $ 57,360,069

56 5. Return objectives and risk parameters: The Board of Directors evaluates its long-term asset allocation in meeting its fiduciary responsibilities for funding programs, protecting its endowment resources, and supporting future spending requirements. Accordingly, the Board has adopted investment policies for its endowment assets that seek to maintain the purchasing power.

6. Strategies employed for achieving objectives: To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Council relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Council targets diversified assets, within prudent risk constraints.

7. Spending policy and relation to the spending policy: The Council has a policy of appropriating for distribution each year an average of 5% of its endowment fund’s average fair value over the prior 12 quarters through the fiscal year-end proceeding the fiscal year in which the distribution is planned. This is consistent with the Council’s objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term, as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment return.

NOTE I – EMPLOYEE-BENEFIT PLAN

For its eligible employees, the Council provides retirement benefits under a defined-contribution, §403(b) employee-benefit plan, the assets of which are maintained through the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America-College Retirement Equities Fund. The Council contributes a minimum of 5% of each eligible employee’s salary, as well as matches employee contributions up to a maximum of 5% of each eligible employee’s salary. Contributions for fiscal-year 2010 were $190,746.

57 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

American Council of Learned Societies, June 30, 2010

NOTE J – POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFIT PLAN

The Council sponsors an unfunded, non-contributory defined-benefit postretirement medical plan that covers employees hired prior to February 1, 1995. The following sets forth the plan’s funded status as of June 30, 2010, reconciled with amounts reported in the Council’s financial statements:

Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Expected benefit obligation $ (1,658,274) Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ (1,569,086) Plan assets 0 Funded status (excess of obligation over assets) $ (1,569,086) Net periodic postretirement medical benefit costs included the following components: Service cost $ 26,651 Interest cost 82,095 Transition obligation amortization 25,142 Net loss amortization 44,836 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 178,724 Adjustments to net assets, reported in the statement of activities: Net actuarial loss $ (83,425) Unrecognized transition obligation 69,978 Funded status (excess of obligation over assets) $ (13,447) Weighted-average assumptions: Discount rate 5.00% Medical cost-trend rate 5.00%

A one percentage-point increase in the assumed health-care cost-trend rates for each fiscal-year would have resulted in an increase in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of June 30, 2010 of $118,157 and an increase in the aggregate cost components of net period postretirement benefit cost of $8,697. Employer contributions and benefits paid were $93,909 for fiscal-year 2010. The estimated amount of the Council’s contributions for fiscal-year 2011 is $88,200.

58 The following table illustrates the benefit distributions that would be paid over the next 10 fiscal years:

Year Ended Expected Benefit June 30, Distributions 2011 $ 88,200 2012 93,100 2013 98,200 2014 115,100 2015 111,700 2016–2020 591,800

NOTE K – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Council places its temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions in amounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the Council is not subject to a significant risk of loss on these accounts.

NOTE L – CONTINGENCY

U.S. government grants are subject to audit in the future by governmental authorities. Accordingly, the Council could be required to fund any disallowed costs for its own federally supported programs, as well as for the Council for the International Exchange of Scholars during the period of the Council’s stewardship. In management’s opinion, any such audits would not result in disallowed costs in amounts that would be significant to the Council’s operations. The Council is subject to litigation in the routine course of conducting business. In management’s opinion, however, there is no current litigation the outcome of which would have a material adverse impact on the Council’s financial position.
