Respectfully yours, Dean Rusk President © 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation The President's Review 1954 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation Introduction It is customary for the president of The Rockefeller Foundation to give the public, in addition to the Annual Report, a broad review of the year's work. The Report describes in considerable detail what the Foundation does and accounts publicly for the custody and use of the funds entrusted to it. The president, in his review, comments upon the underlying policies which lead the Foundation to work in some directions and not in others, expresses some of the hopes implicit in the use of its funds, and calls attention to significant changes of emphasis which seem required by the shifting scenes of circumstance. Since the basic policies set by the Trustees of the Foundation show continuity over periods of years, the president's review does not burden the reader with a repetitious annual statement of the continuing philosophy of Foundation action. As a running commentary, this present review should be read as a sequel to the review for 1953. In addition, the Foundation issues quarterly re- ports which provide brief descriptions of actions taken during the preceding three months. These three pub- lications are the Foundation's response to the obligation which it feels that it has to make its activities known to anyone who is interested. The obligation derives from the Foundation's concept of good policy for a public trust and not from any present legal obligation. Its funds were placed in trust by Mr. John D. Rockefeller for a public purpose, under laws and public policies which encouraged such a use of private resources, This 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation 4 THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION commitment to a public purpose led the Trustees to the conclusion in 1913 that the public should know how the Foundation's funds were being spent. In more recent years the income tax exemption feature added to the reasons for making a full public disclosure. The Rocke- feller Foundation has informed the Congress that it would support legislation requiring full public reporting on the activities of tax-exempt foundations. It did so because it supports the legitimate use of private re- sources for public purposes and believes that full dis- closure is an important guarantee that the privileges accorded to philanthropy will not be abused. Summary of Appropriations in 1954 The Rockefeller Foundation made appropriations in 1954 amounting to $19,10736650 Of this amount, $5,102,796 was directed to work in medicine and public health; 143830,220 to the natural sciences and agricul- ture; $3,041,530 to the social sciences; $>3,3353267 to the humanities; and $818,000 to purposes not readily classifiable under the above headings. In addition, $1,979,852 was appropriated for administration and for services rendered directly by the Foundation's own professional staff. Included in the above figures was $1,025,000 for Rockefeller Foundation fellowships. The unallocated capital funds of the Foundation had a market value of $442,958,445 as of December 31, 1954* A complete financial statement for the year 1954 appears in the Annual Report. © 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation THE PRESIDENT'S REVIEW 5 The Development of Individual Capacity Just over forty years ago, in the winter of 1914-15,

RELAYS IN REBELLION: THE POWER IN LILIAN NGOYI AND FANNIE LOU HAMER by CATHY L. FREEMAN Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain ABSTRACT This thesis compares how Lilian Ngoyi of South Africa and Fannie Lou Hamer of the United States crafted political identities and assumed powerful leadership, respectively, in struggles against racial oppression via the African National Congress and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. The study asserts that Ngoyi and Hamer used alternative sources of personal power which arose from their location in the intersecting social categories of culture, gender and class. These categories challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and complicate any analysis of political economy, state power relations and black liberation studies which minimize the contributions of women. Also, by analyzing resistance leadership squarely within both African and North American contexts, this thesis answers the call of scholar Patrick Manning for a “homeland and diaspora” model which positions Africa itself within the historiography of transnational academic debates.

He was among the first to use reaction times for analyzing hemispheric specializations and interactions in intact and split brain humans. His latest research interests include visual spatial attention and the representation of the body in the brain.

My deepest roots lie in the ancient Lombard city of Pavia, where I was born 78 years ago, on May 25, 1935, and in that part of the province of Pavia that lies to the south of the Po River and is called the Oltrepò Pavese. The hilly part of the Oltrepò is covered with beautiful vineyards that according to archaeological and historical evidence have been used to produce good wines for millennia.

Gammon, Emily (M.A., Theatre) Student, Player, Spect-actor: Learning from Viola Spolin and Augusto Boal: Theatre Practice as Non-Traditional Pedagogy Thesis directed by Dr. Bud Coleman This thesis explores the possibility that by adapting a model of disciplined improvisation, the secondary classroom will become an engaging learning environment where a wider variety of student learning preferences and styles will be honored and cultivated. I believe that effective pedagogical theory and structure aligns with that of improvisational theatre models and by examining these models more closely and by comparing them with the theories of predominant educational theorists and psychologists, we will find both commonalities and effective teaching models and strategies. The theory and practice of Viola Spolin and Augusto Boal, supported by the theory of Lev Vygotsky and of Paulo Freire, respectively, provide two examples of non - traditional pedagogy for the secondary classroom.
