P, \ "'pIKE ~ Co:.> "THE WORLD STANDS OUT" COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS BY DR. RUSSELL G. MAWBY CHAIRMAN, W. K. KELLOGG FOUNDATION ADRIAN COLLEGE ADRIAN, MICHIGAN APRIL 29, 1990 I IT IS A PLEASURE INDEED TO BE WITH YOU AT ADRIAN COLLEGE FOR THIS COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY. I WELCOME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON YOUR ~) CAMPUS CONTINUING A LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH LEADERS. IN ADDITION, THE W. K. KELLOGG THE COLLEGE AND FOUNDATION HAS ITS BEEN PRIVILEGED TO ASSIST THE COLLEGE IN SOME OF ITS CREATIVE VENTURES IN EDUCATION. REPUTATION I KNOW ADRIAN AS A COLLEGE WITH A PURPOSE, AMONG SMALL LIBERAL ARTS EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS IS WELL DESERVED. TO THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT, IN COLLEGES CREATIVE AND AMONG THESE IS YOUR COMMITMENT PARTICULAR RELATED INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAMS. FOR AND YOUR YOUR ACADEMIC AND JOB �-2- TH IS YEAR ADR I AN CELEBRATES 131 YEARS OF COMM ITMENT TO "FOSTER I NG CREATIVITY, ENCOURAGING ETHICAL VALUES AND THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH, AND THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO LEAD SATISFYING LIVES AND CAREERS." IN TODAY'S WORLD, THAT IS A VITAL COMPONENT IN YOUR BROADER MISSION OF "INFORMED, NURTURING INDIVIDUALS." ARTICULATE, SENSITIVE, RESPONSIBLE I SALUTE YOU -- AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE WITH YOU TODAY. TO YOU WHO ARE GRADUATING, I ADD MY CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE ALREADY EXPRESSED. OF THOSE FOR EACH OF YOU, THIS IS AN OCCASION LONG AWAITED, ONE INSTANCES IN LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE BOTH A SENSE OF SATISFACTION IN PAST ACHIEVEMENTS AND A SPECIAL EXCITEMENT FOR THE FUTURE. I FEEL PRIVILEGED TO BE SHARING THIS DAY WITH YOU. I WOULD ADD A WORD OF CONGRATULATIONS, ALSO, TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY TO MAKING THIS DAY A REALITY. I THINK FIRST OF PARENTS AND FAMILIES, AND IN SOME INSTANCES HUSBANDS OR WIVES AND CH I LDREN WHO SO OFTEN HAVE SACR I FICED AND SUBORDINATED THEIR PERSONAL INTERESTS TO YOURS IN MAKING IT POSSIBLE �-3- FOR YOU TO STUDY AT ADRIAN COLLEGE AND WHO ARE ENTITLED TO A SIMILAR SENSE OF PRIDEFUL SATISFACTION ON THIS OCCASION. AND I THINK, ALSO, -- OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ADR IAN -- THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE, ESTABLISHING, BUILDING, AND SUSTAINING THIS INSTITUTION, AND THOSE WHO CURRENTLY CARRY FORWARD THIS WORK ... TRUSTEES, FACULTY, OFFICERS AND STAFF, ALUMNI AND FRIENDS. INDEPENDENT, LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES HAVE BEEN AND MUST CONTINUE TO BE A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF OUR PLURALISTIC SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION. YOUR EFFORTS HAVE MADE THIS SO -- AND WI LL CONT INUE TO DO SO I N THE FUTURE. .. TO ALL OF YOU, I ' EXPRESS CONGRATULATIONS AND COMPLIMENTS, FOR YOU, TOO, CAN TAKE PRIDE IN THIS HAPPY OCCASION. II I APPROACH MY ASSIGNMENT TODAY WITH THE SOBERING KNOWLEDGE THAT NOT ONE PERSON CAME HERE COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS. FOR THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF HEARING THE IF WE ARE QUITE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER, EACH OF YOU HAS A MUCH MORE PERSONAL -- AND MORE IMPORTANT -- REASON FOR BEING HERE. AND, IN APPRECIATION OF THAT FACT, I PROPOSE TO INTRUDE �-4- ONLY BRIEFLY UPON YOUR TIME. HABIT, ARE TAKING NOTES, U AND R. LETTERS: W. K. KELLOGG, ASSOCIATED, FORMAL WAS HUH THE FOR THOSE OF HE FROM FORCE OF MY ENTIRE MESSAGE CAN BE SUMMARIZED IN TWO HRH FOR UNDERSTANDING; FOUNDER OF THE STARTED WORK FOR RESPONSIBILITY. FOUNDATION A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN. EDUCATION, YOU WHO, AS WITH WITH ONLY A BROOM WHICH SIX SALESMAN BECAME THE BUSINESS MANAGER OF A HOSPITAL IN BATTLE CREEK. I AM YEARS OF AND THEN AT AGE 46, HE QUIT HIS JOB AND LAUNCHED THE KELLOGG COMPANY, MANUFACTURING READY-TO-EAT BREAKFAST CEREALS. LATE IN HIS LIFE HE DEDICATED HIS WEALTH TO PUBLIC BENEFIT THROUGH THIS FOUNDATION. MADE THE WROTE IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER OF HIS FORTUNE TO THE FOUNDATION, A BRIEF EDUCATIONAL LETTER APPROACH IN HAS WHICH BEEN HE CONCLUDED, EMPHASIZED. HI PARENT, THE TEACHER, THE FAMILY GLAD THAT RAIMENT HE THE AND BUT THE GREATEST GOOD FOR THE GREATEST NUMBER CAN COME ONLY THROUGH THE THE AM RELIEF, SHELTER ARE NECESSARY FOR DESTITUTE CHILDREN, CHILD, IN 1935, WHEN HE EDUCATION OF THE PHYSICIAN, THE DENTIST, �-5- THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL. EDUCATION OFFERS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR REALLY IMPROVING ONE GENERATION OVER ANOTHER." THAT STATEMENT IS AS TRUE TODAY AS IT WAS FIVE DECADES AGO. DESPITE ALL THE CRITICISMS AND ALL THE QUESTIONING, EDUCATION IS STILL BASIC TO -- OFFERS THE GREATEST OPPORTUN I TY FOR -- HUMAN PROGRESS. AND FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE INDIVIDUAL, EDUCATION IS STILL THE WAY TO A BETTER LIFE. EDUCATION -- RELATED TO BUT NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH COURSES AND CREDITS AND DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS; BUT EDUCATION -THE INQUISITIVE MIND; THE MASTERY OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS; A PATTERN OF IDENTIFYING, ASSEMBLING, ANALYZING, THINKING, PLANNING, AND DOING. FOR SOME OF PARENTS, YOU, PERHAPS HIGHER YOUR EDUCATION GRANDPARENTS BEYOND, HAVE BEEN COLLEGE GRADUATES. IS A FAMILY TRADITION. AND YOUR GREAT-GRANDPARENTS OTHERS OF YOU, ARE THE FIRST OF YOUR FAMILY TO GO TO COLLEGE. AND LIKE MYSELF, IF SO, ADRIAN COLLEGE HAS GIVEN YOU AN OPPORTUNITY YOUR PARENTS DID NOT ENJOY. �-6- WHATEVER THE CASE, ALL OF US WHO ARE THE BENEF ICIAR I ES OF HIGHER EDUCATION SHOULD INDENTURE TO IMPOSE REPAY UPON THAT WHICH OURSELVES HAS THE BEEN STATUS OF BESTOWED AND LIFELONG TO ENSURE SIMILAR BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW. SOCIETY IS NOW CRITICALLY REVIEWING ALL OF TRADITIONS, RESOURCES. QUESTIONING OUR PRIORITIES ITS OUR INSTITUTIONS AND AND ALLOCATIONS OF SUPPORT OF EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS IS BEING CHALLENGED. FOR THE FIRST TIME I N RECENT MEMORY, THE AMER ICAN COMM ITMENT TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES -- AN OPEN DOOR, "' . CHANCE -- SEEMS GENUINELY ENDANGERED. WITH A SECOND HOPEFULLY YOU, WHO ARE AMONG THE PRIVILEGED TO BENEFIT FROM HIGHER EDUCATION, WILL BE ARTICULATE SPOKESMEN AND DEDICATED SUPPORTERS OF EDUCATION TO GUARANTEE COMPARABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW. III AS IN ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF LIFE, WITH PRIVILEGE GOES DUTY, OBLIGATION TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE. AND PROFESSIONAL CAREERS WILL BE VARIED. THE YOUR PERSONAL PATHS EACH OF YOU WILL MAKE YOUR �-7- OWN CHOICE (ANOTHER AMERICAN PREROGATIVE WHICH FEW IN THE WORLD SHARE) -- SOME WILL PURSUE FURTHER PROFESSIONAL STUDIES, LEADING TO ADVANCED DEGREES; SOME WI LL GO I NTO BUS I NESS, EITHER SELF-EMPLOYED OR WORK I NG WI TH OTHERS; OTHERS WI LL CHOOSE OPPORTUN I TIES I N THE PUBLIC SECTOR WORKING FOR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AT LOCAL, STATE, OR NATIONAL LEVELS; SOME WILL DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO HUMAN SERVICE, THROUGH THEIR CHURCH OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS; STILL OTHERS WILL ELECT TO CONTINUE THE ACADEMIC LIFE, IN RESEARCH, TEACHING, OR PUBLIC SERVICE. WHATEVER ROUTE YOU CHOOSE, SOCIETY HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS -- A GREAT NEED -- FOR YOUR TALENTS. HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL BE SHAKERS AND SHAPERS OF A BETTER TOMORROW. IN THAT REGARD I WILL SHARE WITH YOU BRIEFLY THREE SPECIFIC IDEAS. BUT AS A PREFACE FOR THOSE THOUGHTS, IT WILL BE USEFUL TO PUT OURSELVES, OUR LIVES, OUR TIMES INTO SOME PERSPECTIVE. �8 - EACH OF US HAS STASHED AWAY IN MEMORY CERTA IN L INES -OF POETRY , FROM L ITERATURE , PASSAGES FROM THE B IBLE MEAN ING TO US . WH ICH HAVE SPEC IAL ONE SUCH WH ICH FREQUENTLY RECURS TO ME ARE THESE L INES FROM EDNA ST .V INCENT M ILLAY THE WORLD STANDS OUT ON E ITHER S IDE NO W IDER THAN THE HEART ISW IDE ABOVE THE WORLD ISSTRETCHED THE SKY , NO H IGHER THAN THE SOUL ISH IGH . THE HEART CAN PUSH THE SEA AND LAND FARTHER AWAY ON E ITHER HAND ; THE SOUL CAN SPL IT THE SKY IN TWO , AND LET THE FACE OF GOD SH INE THRU . BUT EAST AND WEST W ILL P INCH THE HEART THAT CANNOT KEEP THEM PUSHED APART ; AND HE WHOSE SOUL ISFLAT -THE SKY W ILL CAVE IN ON H IM BY AND BY . THE WORLD STANDS OUT -NO W IDER THAN THE HEART ISW IDE . ANY REASONABLE PERSON WHO REFLECTS THOUGHTFULLY ON TODAY AND TOMORROW -ON WHERE MANK IND ISAND WHERE WE 'RE GO ING -F INDS THE PROSPECT SOBERI NG. RECENTLY I READ A D ISTURBI NGLY PESSI M ISTIC-BUT PERHAPS D ISTRESS INGLY REAL IST IC -BOOK , ~ INTO THE �-9- HUMAN EROSPECT, L. BY ROBERT THREE ISSUES ABOVE THESE CAN HE I LBRONER. HE I LBRONER SUGGESTS THAT ALL OTHERS SHAPE THE CURRENT HUMAN PREDICAMENT. BE SUMMAR I ZED I N THREE WORDS: POPULAT ION, ENV IRONMENT, WAR. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THESE WERE SIMPLE, DEAL WITH FORCEFULLY AND DIRECTLY. THEY ARE NOT SIMPLE AND NEAT; TIDY THE HUMAN DIFFUSE, THINK CONDITION COMPLEX, OF ANY POLLUTION, THEY THAT ARE THE PERMEATING, CURRENT HEALTH IS ISSUE CARE, OF RURAL SIMULTANEOUSLY, SIMPLISTIC, THE WHICH MAJOR SIGNIFICANCE ENERGY, CONCERN -- US AND ARE GENERALIZED. FOOD SUPPLY, TRANSPORTATION, THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE, THE JUDICIAL FAMILY LIFE, INFLATION, SOLUTIONS DEVISED BY MAN ARE SPECIALIZED, CONFOUNDING ONE OF THE DILEMMAS PROBLEMS UNEMPLOYMENT, DEVELOPMENT, COMPLEX, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY, FEDERAL BUDGET DEFICIT, EDUCATION, SYSTEM, COULD BUT WE IMMEDIATELY SEE THAT COMPOUNDING, COMPREHENSIVE, INTER-RELATED. OF ISSUES THAT WE NARROWLY BASED. WORLD PEACE. USUALLY SPECIFIC, THUS, A SERIOUS �-10- DISCONTINUITY EXISTS BETWEEN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH CONFRONT US AND THE SOLUTIONS WHICH WE CONTRIVE FOR DEALING WITH THEM. I'LL NOT ELABORATE ON THESE THREE ISSUES, SIMPLY REMIND YOU OF THEM: POPULATION -- A REALIZATION THAT THE GROWTH OF HUMAN POPULATION IS THE PRINCIPAL AND MOST COMPELLING THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES (MAN); ENVIRONMENT -- A GROWING APPRECIATION FOR THE FRAGILITY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS MILIEU, WITH AN WITHIN THE AWARENESS EARTH'S OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MIND-BOGGLING CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACT IONS, IMPULS IVE OR PREMED ITATED; AND WAR -- WITH NO BETTER REMINDER THAN THE WORDS WRITTEN 350 YEARS AGO BY JOHN DONNE uNO MAN IS AN ISLAND, ENTIRE OF ITSELF; EVERY MAN IS A PIECE OF THE CONTINENT, A PART OF THE MAIN; IF A CLOD BE WASHED AWAY BY THE SEA, EUROPE IS THE LESS, AS WELL AS I F A PROMONTORY WERE, AS WELL AS IF A MANOR OF THY FRIENDS OR OF THINE OWN WERE; ANY MAN'S DEATH DIMINISHES ME, BECAUSE I AM INVOLVED IN MANKIND; AND THEREFORE NEVER SEND TO KNOW FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS; IT TOLLS FOR THEE,u �-11- ;;7 NO MATTER VANTAGE HOW WE POINT WE CHOOSE TO ELECT TO CLASSIFY MAN'S VIEW THEM, CONCERNS, ULTIMATELY IT OR FROM BECOMES WHAT CLEAR THAT THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR GENERATION AND THOSE TO FOLLOW WILL BE DETERMINED BASICALLY WHETHER BY WE OUR PROGRESS THINK IN IN TERMS IMPROVING OF THE HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. FOR FAMILY, OUR HOME COMMUNITY, OUR STATE OR NATION, OR THE WORLD NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PRIME DETERMINANT OF WHAT LIFE WILL BE LIKE IN THE YEARS AHEAD WILL BE A CONSEQUENCE ANOTHER. OF MAN'S AND THE MOST BE DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO LIVE IN HARMONY, ONE WITH IMPORTANT DECISIONS CONFRONTING US WILL NOT BURGEON I NG TECHNOLOGY, BUT I NSTEAD WILL BE VALUE-BASED AND VALUE-LADEN. THE ONLY HOPE FOR CIVILIZED SOCIETY IS THAT MODERN MAN WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN HIS PREDECESSORS IN DEALING WITH HUMAN ASPIRATIONS, REFLECT I NG CONTEMPORARY VALUES. YOUR GENERATION, MORE SHOWS PROMISE OF HAVING THIS COMMITMENT AND CAPACITY. NOT YET BEEN REALLY TESTED. THAN MINE, BUT YOU HAVE �-12- THE REAL TESTING ALTERNATIVES PREPARING -- THE WILL FOR COME EXAMPLE, AMERICAN PEOPLE IN IN TO TANGIBLE THE RESPONSES LEADERSHIP ACCEPT YOU A STATIC TO TOUGH PROVIDE OR IN DECLINING STANDARD OF LIVING IN THE DECADES IMMEDIATELY AHEAD, ADOPTING AN ENTIRELY NEW CONCEPT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE, SO THAT THE PEOPLES OF OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD EARTH'S FINITE RESOURCES. REFUSE? MAY BENEFIT MORE ABUNDANTLY FROM THE WILL WE DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT WITH OUR WILL WE SHARE OUR ABUNDANCE WITH THOSE LESS BLESSED? WILL THE HUNGRY OF THE WORLD HAVE FOOD? YOUR SUCCESS WILL BE DETERMINED NOT BY THE ELEGANCE OF YOUR RHETORIC BUT BY THE TANGIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL DECISIONS. IV AND NOW, TO THOSE THREE TANGIBLE AND SPECIFIC CONCERNS WHICH I SHARE WITH YOU AS PERSONS WHO ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF EDUCATION, WHO ARE �-13 - COMM ITTED TO KNOWLEDGE AND LEARN ING , AND WHO W ILL -IN ONE ROLE OR ANOTHER -BE SHAPERS OF THE FUTURE . F IRST , THE CHALLENGE OF KNOWLEDGE UT IL IZAT ION , THE APPL ICAT ION OF KNOWLEDGE TO PROBLEMS OF PEOPLE . WE ~ ) CR IM INAL BETTER THAN WE DQ . JUST ICE , H ISTORY , INMOST AREAS OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR , WHETHER YOUR CAREER INTERESTS BE IN THE PERFORM ING ARTS , ENG INEER ING , TEACH ING , BUS INESS , FAM ILY L IFE , SOC IOLOGY , HEALTH , OR WHAT HAVE YOU , WE MUST SOMEHOW MOB IL IZE KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES IN NEW AND CREAT IVE WAYS TO DEAL EFFECT IVELY W ITH HUMAN CONCERNS . IN THE COMPLEX L IFE OF TODAY AND TOMORROW , THE RESOURCES OF ANY ONE D ISC IPL INE , BODY OF KNOWLEDGE , OR INADEQUATE TO DEAL EFFECT IVELY W ITH ORGAN IZAT ION ARE USUALLY S IGN IF ICANT ISSUES . YOUR GENERAT ION MUST P IONEER IN BLEND ING THE R ICHNESS OF SPEC IAL IZED F IELDS OF STUDY INTO MORE EFFECT IVE PATTERNS FOR DEC IS ION AND ACT ION . �-14- SECOND, THE CHALLENGE OF LIFELONG LEARNING. INDEED SIMPLER. 11'.1 THE PAST, My GENERATION COULD APPROACH LIFE IN THREE NEAT BLOCKS -- GO TO SCHOOL, GO TO WORK, OUT TO PASTURE. WHOLE HOST BURGEONING OF REASONS, KNOWLEDGE, COMPLEXITY OF ISSUES, THAT THE THE PATTERN IS ACCELERATING NO RATE INTERRELATEDNESS OF LONGER OF LIFE WAS NOW, FOR A ADEQUATE CHANGE, -THE HUMAN EXPERIENCES. YOu AS EDUCATED PERSONS MUST DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING, INCORPORATING IN YOUR OWN LIFE A CONTINUING INTERACTION BETWEEN WORK, FAMILY, LEISURE, AND LEARNING. AND FINALLY, THAT THIRD CHALLENGE, lNVOLVEMENT. EFFECTIVE DEMOCRACY REQUIRES INGREDIENT INDIVIDUAL INVOLVEMENT. A UNIQUE OF OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS VOLUNTEERISM, THOSE THINGS WHICH INDIVIDUALS DO VOLUNTARILY, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO. MARGARET MEAD HAS OBSERVED: �-15UWE LIVE IN A SOCIETY THAT ALWAYS HAS DEPENDED ON VOLUNTEERS OF DIFFERENT KINDS -- SOME WHO CAN GIVE MOI\IEY, OTHERS WHO GIVE TIME, AND A GREAT MANY WHO FREELY GIVE THEIR SKILLS, FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME. CLOSELY, THAT REALLY EMBODIES HUMAN YOU OUR LIFE WILL SEE THAT IF YOU LOOK ALMOST MATTERS TO DEEPEST COMMITMENT SHOULD BE US, LIVED SPECIAL ANYTHING ANYTHING AND TO THE CARED THAT WAY FOR, DEPENDS ON SOME FORM -- MORE OFTEN MANY FORMS -- OF VOLUNTEERISM. u THIS FACT GIVES A DISTINCTIVELY HUMANE QUALITY TO LIFE IN AMERICA. BUT ONLY IF WE CONTINUE TO RENEW THE uHABITS OF THE HEART,u TO USE THE TITLE OF A RECENT BOOK BY ROBERT BELLAH. THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU IN WHICH YOUR LIFE WILL BE MEASURED ULTIMATELY IS BY THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME. BE SURE, TO SOME TIME MUST BE SPENT IN HOBBIES AND OTHER FORMS OF RELAXATION. BUT LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU CAN I N PAY I NG BACK THE SOC I ETY THAT ALREADY HAS GIVEN SO MUCH TO YOU. YOUR PROFESSION NEEDS YOU, BEYOND THE MANDATE OF THE JOB, TO �-16 - RA ISE THE LEVEL OF PROFESS IONAL PERFORMANCE AND ETH ICS . YOUR COMMUN ITY NEEDS YOU , TO SERVE ON NONPROF IT BOARDS AND IN OTHER WAYS TO CONTR IBUTE TO BETTER ING THE HUMAN COND IT ION . YOU , TO F ILL POS IT IONS OF PUBL IC TRUST . YOUR NAT ION NEEDS I HOPE THAT YOU W ILL QUI CKLY BEGINTO REPAY YOUR "DEBT TO SOCI ETY." I W ILL GUARANTEE THAT TH IS PARADOX IS TRUE : GET . THE MORE YOU G IVE , THE MORE YOU W ILL AND THE MORE YOU G IVE , THE MORE SUCCESSFUL YOU WI LL BECOME . By YOUR CONSTRUCT IVE INVOLVEMENT , BOTH YOU AND SOC IETY W ILL BENEF IT . IN PREPARAT ION FOR SUCH RESPONS IB IL ITY , YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ~ BEEN STUDENTS AT ADR IAN COLLEGE -AN INDEPENDENT , L IBERAL ARTS t ' INST ITUT ION : INDEPENDENT -TANG IBLE EV IDENCE OF THE PLURAL IST IC COMM ITMENT OF AMER ICA , THAT PR IVATE AS WELL AS PUBL IC EFFORTS SERVE SOC IETY 'S H IGHEST GOALS , EVEN IN AN AGE WHEN GOVERNMENT ISEVER MORE ~ _ : -~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DOM INANT AND DOM INEER ING ;/1AND L IBERAL ARTS -I1\J FURTHERANCE OF THE CONCEPT OF THE "EDUCATED MAN . " �-17- v WHILE THE PROSPECTS OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE MAY BE SOMBER, THE CHALLENGE -- AND THE POTENTIAL -- OF TOMORROW ARE AS DEMANDING AND AS EXHILARATING AS EVER. CHARACTERISTIC, IT'S IN AN AGE WHEN BIGNESS AND COMPLEXITY SEEM IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A PROPER PERSPECTIVE. WHEN THE REALITIES OF THE EVERYDAY WORLD SEEM ALMOST OVERWHELMING, I FIND THE FOLLOWING A USEFUL REMINDER: I AM ONLY ONE, BUT I AM ONE; I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, BUT I CAN DO SOMETHING; AND WHAT I CAN DO, I OUGHT TO DO; AND WHAT I OUGHT TO DO, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WILL DO. IN TOO MANY FACETS OF OUR LIVES, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A NATION, WE SEEM TO HAVE LOST SOMETHING OF OUR SENSE OF PURPOSE, SELF-CONFIDENCE, OUR DIRECTION, OUR FAITH AND COMMITMENT. EXTENT THIS BE TRUE, IT CAN BE REMEDIED ONLY BY THE OUR TO THE DEEDS OF �-18- INDIVIDUALS WHO -- IN WHATEVER THEIR ROLE AND IN EVERY DIMENSION OF LI FE -- UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND. KNOW; WE MUST ALSO DO. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND OR IF EACH OF US WILL DO WHAT WE CAN DO AND - OUGHT TO DO, WE WILL INDEED BE SERVING MAN'S HIGHER PURPOSE. TO EACH OF YOU IN THIS ADRIAN COLLEGE CLASS OF 1990, GODSPEED IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER AND -- MORE IMPORTANTLY -- IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

Russel l G. Mawby , President , W. K. Kellogg Foundat io n at the De di cat ion of the W. K. Kellog g Arabian Hor s e Center Califor ni a State Polyte chni c Univers i t y , Pomona April 6 , 1974 I It is a pleasure to participate in the dedication of the W. K. Kello gg Arab ian Horse Cent er , r ep r e senting the Board of Trus t ee s of our Foun da t ion on this happy occasion. I co nv ey to you the gr ee t i ngs of our Boar d and the special greetings of Dr . Emory W. Mor r i s . Fr om the Foundat ion 's standpoint, Dr. Morris played a n especial ly s ignificant role i n t he dec is io ns and activi ties which have led to this day . During the 40 ye ars in which he has been associat e d with the Foundat i on , for 27 years a s our chi e f execut i v e offic e r until his r et ireme nt in 1970 and now as the chai rma n of ou r Board , h e was vitally involved i n t he decis ions through which the ranch be came Cal Po ly and in our providing funds for the development of t hi s new fac ility . He ve ry much regr et s that he c an not be here today and asks t hat he be rememb e r ed to his many fri ends and to all who are i n attenda nce . II A dedication program i s fut urist ic by defin it ion, a forward l ook i ng occasion . But as we dedicate thi s handsome new fa c ility and l ook to the future , it is i mpo r t a nt to look bac k to t he he r i t a ge of this pla ce an d these horses . W. K. Kellogg established the Kellogg Company in 1906 and began coming to California for the winter months in 1920 . He developed an interest i n �2 Arabian horses and i n the mid 1920 's aCQui red 800 plus acres of l a nd and beean bu i lding h i s l ov e l y ranc h estate- - the big hous e on th e hill, the smaller hous e fo r f amily members , the gardens and ponds, the stables and pastures , the or ch a rds - -and the developme nt of the Ar abian h e r d , as s emb l i ng select anima l s from the Uni t ed States and import s from ab ro a d , e special l y f rom La dy Went wor t h ' s Crabbet Park Stud in Engl an d. Th e Sun day s hows, which became a t radition i n Southern California . were started soon the reafter , with t he s how a rena c on s truc t e d i n 1930. Mr . Kelloeg loved the r a n ch, not on ly becaus e of its beauty and because i t was the perfec t home for h is Arabian s , but also because i t was " home" for a number of years fo r his son Kar l and fam ily , a nd daug ht e r Beth a nd h e r fam i ly . A numb e r of his grandchildr en spent the ir early y e a rs here on the ranch . As a part of t he colo rful h eri t a ge, ma ny famo us guests v is ited the ranch : Colonel Lindberg , Madam Schumann- Heink , Clara Bow , Gary Cooper, Laur a LaP lant , Ol i v i a DeHav ila n d, Dougl a s Fairb a nk s, Mary Pi ckfor d , Wallace Berry, Mar lene Di et r i ch , the Ou r Gang kids, Will Rogers . Rudolph Val ent ino used the great hors e , J a da an, in several movies and Tom Mix rode Kellogg Arab ians i n several Tour n ament of Roses parades . Thus , t he ranc h from its earliest days - -in several ways - - helped to popular iz e and imp rove the Arabian breed . II I In 1932, the ranch and the horses were g iven to the Uni v e rsity of California , Davis , for their r e sea r c h and demonstration programs in a gr i c ulture. Mr. Kel logg reserved on ly 50 acres and t he r e s i de nc e s for his personal use , including certain relationsh ips with the horses . �3 When World War II came along, he a sked the University of California that the ranch be returned t o him s o that it could b e used by the United Stat e s in the war effort. Thus, during the war the Army used th e ranch and horses as a ca va l r y remount s tat i on an d as a t raining cent er f or dof,s o f the K-9 Corps. IV After the war, the Army had no further use f or the ranch and tran sferred it t o th e U.S. Department o f Agriculture. The USDA, deciding that it had no use for the ran ch and inadequate budget s t o maintain the program here, declared the ranch surplus in 1948 and turned it ove r to the Gene r al Service s Administration f or di sposal. With the help of ma ny people, including l ocal leaders in Pomona, in this Coun t y and in the State of California, and l overs of Arabian horses. and helped by the interventi on of members of Cong r e ss , including Senat or Knowland and Cong r e ssman Richard M. Nixon, and Se cretaries of Agriculture Cl i nto n Anders on and Cha r l e s Brannon, Mr. Kellog g and Dr. Morris suc ceede d in having the ran ch returned t o the Foundati on with the understanding that it would be used f or t h e benefit o f the people of California. Many al t e r na t i ve us es f or the property were con sidered. In 1949, the ranch was de eded t o the St a te of Cal i fo r n ia "to be u sed f or oc cup at io nal training con sist ent with the phil osophy and ob j ect i ve s o f Cal i f orn i a State Polytechnic Col lege . " Thus began thi s campus. Si nc e Cal Poly had pro gr ams in agriculture, including animal scienc es, t he de e d included the provis o t hat the Arabian herd would be maint ained a nd t he Sun day shows would be continued, f or a p eriod of 2 5 year s (throu gh �4 1975), with the College then free to make a dec ision regarding the future of th e Arabian prog r am. As th e campus gr ew, f ar exceedi ng earlier expectat ions, i t soon bec ame apparent that the horses would have to be relocated . Thus , under the l eader- ship of Chancellor Dumke and the trustees of the Cal ifornia State University a nd College System , and President Kramer and other offic ials at Cal Poly , pl ans for t he s e new fa ci liti e s we r e dev e lope d as a par t of the Unive rs ity 's master plan . The officials of this University and the trustees and officers o f the System regard the Arabians as an important and unique feature o f Cal Poly and, thus, to insure that the Arabian program might continue t o be a par t of t hi s i n st ituti on, th ey app roac hed th e Foundatio n f or support i n t h e development of t he new stables . This abbreviat ed chronology leads u s t o today . I t seems s ignificant to remembe r that the ranc h a nd th i s he rd of Arabi ans are approaching the golden anniversary- -5 0 years since Mr . Kel logg f i r s t began a ct ivit i es here . One hal f of th at hal f cent ury represent s the Cal Poly y e ar s. And it is excit ing to realize that today marks the beginning of another era, a commitment that the Arabians wi ll be a part of Cal Poly into t he future . v A great many people have been a pa rt of this effort. On behalf of the FOllildation , I would mention a few : Fi r st, W. K. Kel logg , a man of vi si on and f oresi ght an d wit h t he rar e capacity for turning dreams into tangible real ity ; Dr . Emory W. Morr is , Mr. Kel logg 's val ue d colleague and the long-time l ea de r o f the W. K. Kellogg Foundat i on; and th e f ormer p res ident of Cal Pol y, Dr . Jul ian McPhee , an �5 unusual educator and administrator. These three visionary leaders made the initial commitments. Se co nd , key o f f i c i a l s of the California Univ ersity and College System; The Board of Trustees, Chancellor Dumke, President Kramer, Dean Beckett, and others. This Arabi an horse program i s different, truly uniQue, and many educational leader s would have f ailed to see it s usefulness an d appropriat en ess in the life o f an academic institution. Without their suppor t , nothing could have happen ed; b e ca use of their vi sion and enthusiastic support, this uniQue dimen sion of educ ation has fl ourished. Third, the Arabian Advisory Committee. This group, with those present and those who have s e r ve d in e a r l i er y ear s, has played a key r ole in improving the Cal Poly herd, st r eng t he ni ng t he program in many ways, and fulfil ling Mr. Kellogg's ob j e ct i v e that the Kellogg Arabians would help popularize and contribute to the improveme nt of t he bree d . We a re gr at eful indeed f or their coun sel, service, a nd vari ed contribution s. Finally, Norman K. Dunn, the coordinat or of the Ar abian program, his staff, and the students of Cal Poly f or whom the whole progr am exists. To Norm, Chuck, Allison, Sa ndy , Nancy, I expre ss my congratulations f or th e tremendous j ob you do as staff members of this Center. We are fortunate indeed to have your leadership, Nor m, and t he teamwork and dedi cat e d contributions of all of the s t a f f . And I would espe cially commend the s t udent s , who do such a great job in working with, training, showing, cleaning up a f t e r , loving the se horse s. I predic t that as your lives unfold, s ome o f your f onde st memori es will be o f these days at Cal Poly with t he Kellogg Arabians. �6 VI Mr. Kellogg loved t h i s ran ch an d the se horse s, but hi s gr eatest conc e rn was f or people. He often said, "Education offers the g r eat e s t oppo r t unity f or real l y improving one generation ove r another." Nothing would pl e ase him mor e than t hat his b el oved r anch is now th e campus o f a fine Univer sity-a nd t hat th e Kellogg Ar abians are s uc h an int egral part o f the life of t he Uni versity and its academic program. Therefore, in the s p i r i t which led t o the establi shment of the ran ch and this herd, and in t h e spirit in whi ch the r anch became Cal Poly, I am plea se d on behalf o f the W. K. Kellogg Founda tion t o present this new Arabi an Horse Center to Cal Poly and t o the California State University a nd Colleg e Syst em- - a nd , through th em, t o t he people o f this gr e at St ate of Cal i fo r n i a . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby, President W. K. Kellogg Foundation at the 67th Annual Conference National University Continuing Education Association Cincinnati, Ohio April 6, 1982 I Thank you very much for inviting me to be one of your featured speakers at this, the 67th Annual Conference of the National University Continuing Education Association. I am pleased to participate in the process you have undertaken to examine the impact of change on higher education and the challenges to continuing education. presented. You have the responsibility of accommodating and adapting to change while achieving the goals of your institution. Yours is not an easy assignment, but neither is it an impossible one. The decade of the 80s has been described as the "Decade of Determination" in higher education. It will, without exaggeration, be a time of reckoning, culminating in the survival of the fittest. �2 I'm reminded of Charles Dickens' wonderful opening of A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the • present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." But such periods of stress, whether in Dickensian England or today in America, too easily viewed only in a negative sense, can and do hold dramatic opportunities for positive change. Such �3 change will be more possible for -- and familiar to -- the institution which has historically viewed constant renewal as part of a continual commitment, rather than a backed-into-a-corner imposition. Most of us as individuals, as well as many of the institutions we represent, are particularly receptive to change at times of personal and professional crisis or misfortune. My personal view is that institutions of higher education must become both more creative and more conservative -- not necessarily contradictory positions. hand in hand. In fact, the two can go Leadership has an obligation to be increasingly conservative in managing financial and human resources during times of economic constraints. At the same time we must ask -- how can our limited resources be more creatively applied to existing or new educational challenges? Can we challenge the way things have "always been done" to develop better programs, while at the same time we tighten the purse strings? I am firmly convinced that you -- as creative leaders -- are uniquely positioned to help assure your institutions' and your • �4 profession's viability through a strong, wide-reaching program of continuing education. You can stand head and shoulders above the crowd -- demonstrating to your institutions that you are the experts in continuing e duc a t i on and that you can run programs that prove it; proving, through knowledge and leadership in the field, that you are the expe r t resource in your institution's vital plans to restructure and respond to population and clientele changes such as were outlined by Barbara Caplan on Sunday. I will limit my comments today to several steps you might take in developing the type of strong continuing education program that is well institutionalized and keenly involved in the campus and community interactional network; and steps you might take as individuals to make yourselves the masters of your professional field and of your own destinies. II As all of us are well aware, the times before all of us will not be easy. Some say the outlook for higher education is particularly �5 dismal. The percentage of young people who go from secondary school to college is steadily dropping, as is the percentage of students retained until graduation. The baby boom which began after World War II came to an end in 1960, after which the fertility rate began a steady decline. In the inexorable course of time, the peak of this crop of babies reached college age between 1978 and 1982. The pool of potential enrollees is now expected to drop dramatically and continue falling for the rest of the century. Meanwhile, many new kinds of postsecondary institutions are emerging, all wanting their share of the declining numbers of students. Some of these institutions will be so compliant to the whims of their students that they will debase the currency of learning. Others will devise curricula or methods to meet previously unserved needs, which lie well outside the presently conceived missions of colleges and universities. Likely -- if we are perfectly candid -- some will do a better job of providing education than our existing institutions. As you well know, there is alre ady an increase in the numbers and quality of training programs , �6 by large health complexes, research and development units of industry, and advanced science and technical bureaus of government . If this trend continues, and if these training programs win the right to award degrees or credentials, they may prove to be respectable and worthy alternatives, serious competition for our current programs of undergraduate, graduate, and professional education. If these possiblities materialize , then all of you in academia, and the colleges and universities which remain, will be confronted by problems of a nature and magnitude that we can hardly visualize • today. But even if institutions of higher education do all the things which we already know how to do to modify traditional patterns of post-secondary education, the response may not be sufficient. The number of potential students of typical college age will fall so drastically in proportion to the overall population that our institutions must find new clienteles if institutional talents and resources are to be fully engaged. �7 We may speculate about the nature of these new clienteles foreigners, physically handicapped, non-academically-gifted persons, and minorities, all with educational needs to be met. But there is another group, sufficiently large, capable, and rewarding to our society to make broad use of the talent and resources that colleges and universities possess. I refer of course to our adult population. III When I suggest a sharpening focus on the continuing educational ne eds of adults, I do so not from any compulsion to "save our colleges and universities" by finding another market. I say it, rather, because these needs reflect our changing contemporary so ciety, the altering life patterns of our citizens, and the burgeoning of new knowledge. And I say it out of an emphatic, whole-hearted conviction that the serving of lifelong learning needs is a legitimate, but unfulfilled, role for institutions of hi gh er education. �8 Each institution must work out its distinctive destiny in terms of its resources and the needs and interests it wishes to serve. There are at least 450 continuing education programs now in operation across the country. different futures. There will be 450 -- and more -- But there are some general ideas that I would share with you as you move ahead as leaders in this field. Be creative in institutionalizing the concept of continuing education. Few institutions of higher education have really accepted the full implications of the concept of lifelong learning and done something about it in terms of their organizational chart, patterns of financing, faculty reward systems, functional activities, and relationships within the institution and with organizations beyond. In the 1960s, continuing education -- or extension, if you will, -- was considered to be anything done to serve an outreach function. It was run by a campus extension office. But increasingly, as declines in student numbers on campus have led to cuts in revenues, various departments have appealed for control of their �9 own piece of the extension "pie" in an attempt to shore up clienteles and budgets. I know of one university, for example, which has 38 separate, independent, continuing education programs. One way to view the future would be to say that extension has won its battle to have the whole university regard adult education as essential. The idea is diffused everywhere. "A university can have as many as 38 extension divisions," you say. "Hurrah! We have won. Now let us turn to other matters." But even as such a viewpoint is hypothetically expressed, it sounds more and more hollow ... Doesn't it? Why? I believe you know why. ---Because the essential spirit and balance of adult education within the institution is lost in such fragmentation. What is everybody's business is nobody's business. ---Because the central managerial functions of adult and continuing education -- residential centers, evening colleges, off-campus cent ers, correspondence education, and other forms of �10 distance learning including radio and television stations -- must be centrally managed. ---Because the problems of society do not present themselves in terms of the subject-matter departments of our colleges and universities, but rather are interdisciplinary, complex in content and require integrated educational approaches. ---Because the skills of adult and continuing education program design and execution demand highly developed specialists and leadership. ---And because the capacity to understand and work with outside groups -- both fellow educational providers and clients is essential and requires special skills, education and leadership. In my view, there is a need and a place for a single continuing education office (or department) on the campus, which is a part of the central administrative structure of the university. Such central management is especially vital in light of current economic pressures to which institutions find themselves subjected. An extension program cannot be cost-effective if evening classes • �11 have a budget and director apart from off-campus classes, which h ave management different from outreach programs of another nature. Cost-effectiveness in managing a continuing education program comes in having a central administrative and budgetary structure with sufficient checks and balances. Of equal importance to the administrative structure of continuing education is the attitude structure for continuing education. The university was conceived in our society as a knowledge resource center with responsibilities in teaching, research, and service. is for life. It should practice the belief that learning Learning is essential for occupational proficiency; for civic competence; and for family, avocational, and self-fulfillment goals; but most importantly learning is lifelong, in myriad forms and circumstances. The university must appreciate that adults are different from young people, and must sensitively and adeptly respond to their needs. How can the university institutionalize the right attitude structure for cont i nu i ng edu cation ? I suggest we must be more • �12 creative in developing problem-oriented programs, in addition to the more traditional discipline-oriented activities. Consider such societal concerns as health care delivery, the viability of our local political institutions, the efficacy of elementary-secondary education, the family as the basic social institution, the special problems of the aged. Resources from throughout the university must be mobilized to deal in new and comprehensive ways with such issues. Another part of this different response to the "Challenge of Changing Ground Rules in American Higher Education" would be for you and your institutions to show real creativity in working with the informal network of other continuing education organizations. Here I mean voluntary organizations, community agencies, business and industry, libraries, and churches. While continuing education activities of universities customarily include these contacts, I suspect such interrelationships have been neither as systematic nor as comprehensive as they should be. • �13 Develop better linkages between the formal (traditional undergraduate and graduate) and informal teaching programs. Usually these teaching activities at the university exist side by side with virtually no interaction. Show creativity in inter-institutional arrangements, demonstrating coordination and cooperation. Institutions of higher education must be less unilateral in their educational activities. Be more creative in the use of new technology in learning. Much has been made of new hardware and software available for teaching. The challenge in the utilization of new technology lies with the human element, both teacher and learner. And, as leaders in continuing education, you need to furnish that new spark of creativity and commitment in identifying specific target audiences in various settings. With some client audiences, exemplary effort in continuing education can be cited; other audiences are virtually or absolutely unreached. No one would advocate that a university should be all things to all people. But institutions of higher education should be charged with & �14 strengthening all of education -- with creating new institutional forms if they are needed, nurturing them, preparing personnel , evaluating their effectiveness, and developing modifications so that educational needs can be b etter met. IV It may be presumptuous, but let me cite some possibilities for greater continuing education services. To begin with, what about continuing education in the professions ? "Oh, boy," you say, "where has this guy been the past 20 years? Do esn't he know what we've been doing in continuing professional education?" Yes, I know, and almost everybody knows and takes as an article of faith that lawyers, architects, dentists, pharmacists, social workers, school teachers, and certain other professionals need to go on learning throughout their lives. We know about the continuing education programs offered to them. But we also know that many professionals are laggards in this respect. And so, slowly and reluctantly, the professions themselves, and the state governments which license some of them, are taking steps to bring • �15 matters under social control. Many such efforts have to do with supervision, regulation, and the imposition of penalties for "poor practice," but a great deal of hope has also been attached to the provision -- and the mandating --of continuing education. How active are you, as continuing education's leaders and spokespersons, in working with individual professions and professionals, to help them understand the need for, develop, and then take advantage of continuing professional educational opportunities? How active is your institution ? capitol? In your community? In the state In testimony before licensing and other state boards? In dialogue at national professional conferences? national groups? And with other And how much progress is being made in relating continuing professional education to individual needs, with "success '! measured in terms of performance in professional practice rather than simply accumulated CEUs? Outside the professional fi eld, associations devoted to religious, political, so cial, and economic causes are also now turning to adult education as a way of achieving their diverse • �16 ends. Large numbers of people are seeking to acquire basic learning or fundamental life skills, to secure high school equivalency certificates, to use experience in an educative way, to earn non-traditional degrees, and to learn new kinds of work competence or expand the ones they already have. In many organizations, particularly the military services and some major corporations, work time and study time are meshed with one another. Is it appropriate for me to suggest that you -- again as leaders of continuing education -- recognize, reflect, and advocate, in tangible ways, a commitment to continuing education? What are you, as leaders in the field, doing to pragmatically raise the awareness of your college freshmen that they are launching a process of learning that will be lifelong, and a relationship with their, and your, academic community which should be continuous? In this regard, I often ponder the fact that as a society we hav e built a great industry around the concept of estate planning , but these elaborate plans are implemented only at death. Why not a comprehensive approach to building an individual plan for • �17 living -- for lifelong learning and growth, reflecting the latest notions of the stages of adult development, incorporating an individual's personal values and goals, and representing a totally comprehens ive and refreshingly new accommodation of institutions to the inter-relationships between work (profession, career), family, leisure, and learning? Could it be done for the 18-year-old college fre shman? For the 23-year-old medical student or the 48-year-old computer programmer? Can you do it? Can the institution you represent do it? v In the hope that you will give further thought to these ideas and questions, I offer two related cautions. Both are based on my foundation's some 40 years of supporting continuing education programs in a variety of forms, settings, institutions, and professions. First, the path for creating new programs for adults is neither simple nor easy. Since 1970, a number of people have believed that the essential idea of non-tradition al e duc a t i on was , �18 simply to do the opposite of what tradition suggested. If a program had previously been completely prescribed, then it could be made completely elective; or, if all courses had been taught during the day on campus, then t each them at night somewhere else. Some very costly mistakes have resulted. Another cornmon error is to pick up a successful program in one field and to put it down, intact, in another. People have not understood how complex is the model they seek to use and how it has be en tailored to fit the situation in each of the places it is used. Perhaps its principles -- or, at least, some of them -- can be transplanted, but their application to their new setting is never easy. If continuing education is to be as firmly rooted in futur e practice as introductory e du c a t i on for young people is today, we must expect no easy and quick gains but must be prepared for dedicated, even dogged, e f f or t . My s e cond caution relates to a point I made earlier. If colleges and universities are to become true centers of learning throughout the adult years, then the desire to bring this about , �must be ardently pursued for its own sake and not merely because such a course of action is thought to be necessary to save the institution. VI So, how does all this relate to the changing ground rules of American higher education? university? For my program? What does it mean for my college or For me personally and professionally? I have tried to suggest that it must mean a new attitude about continuing education. Colleges and universities, and you as professionals, can take the "low road" that looks on the continuing education function as merely acquiring students who pay tuition. Or you can take the "high road" that advocates the importance of continuing education for all students and individuals of a l l ages . It also means an awareness that if your institutions do not transmit knowledge to the people who will, and actually do today, control society, then you cannot effect necessary change. t �20 Full circle, then, to change as it relates to you and NUCEA. For all of the foregoing hopes , dreams, aspirations, and potenti al will depend in the final analysis -- on the continuing education of th e continuing education professional and on the abilities and vision of key organizations like NUCEA. NUCEA must strive to further develop a pool of continuing education leaders. Today there are only a few individuals who have gained a national or international reputation as expert continuing education administrators. In too many instances, those appointed to run continuing education programs are selected because they have excellent track records as deans or faculty members in other areas. Once appointed, they are expected to just tldo it," meaning run an effective continuing education program . Such narrow attitudes toward the skills, perceptions, and qualifications needed from a continuing education director only serve to explain why, under budgetary pressures, too many institution s ca s t un enli ghtened eye s at continuing educ ation as something they can eliminate in an effort to cut corners. �21 To advance the cause of continuing education, NUCEA might identify and affiliate with leading universities that have an impressive record of scholarship in continuing education. NUCEA might then direct new deans, directors, and faculty to these institutions to participate in mentor experiences in order to develop the skills needed as continuing education administrators. There also needs to be continuous "two-way traffic" on the bridge between scholarly research and theory development in continuing education, and the application of that scholarship in practice. NUCEA might solidify its role as resource center for the 30 to 40 differing organizations which today provide continuing education experiences for their members. For example, l've been told the NUCEA region coordinated by Memphis State University has done a particularly good job of developing a network of resource agencies, materials, and institutions that can be called upon to meet a variety of programming needs. NUCEA has the potential for also developing greater awareness and support among college and J �22 university presidents for the challenges, opportunities, needs and institutional payoffs which are reflected in making available continuing education opportunities for their own continuing education administrators and faculty. The future is equally challenging and full of opportunity for each of you as continuing education professionals. If you are perceived as being without consequence or contribution to new educational needs or solutions, you may well be among the first casualties of the "decade of scarcity" ahead. On the other hand, if you perform well professionally, you will be recognized, accepted and called upon as individuals with unique scholarly resources, experiences, and practical talents. [Let me apologize here if my language seems a bit sexist. I've struggled to balance the male and female pronouns in my remarks, particularly so since I recognize that some of the greatest leaders in extension work have been, and are today, women. ] I �In either case, the effective continuing education administrator will know how to perceive the needs of adults by knowing the community which the university serves and its social and economic fabric in relation to the greater social system. He or she will keep abreast of advances in new knowledge and ways of transferring that knowledge to the people who can best use it. He will be well read on the subject of continuing education (more than 2,500 doctoral dissertations have been written about it); he or she will attend conferences, when appropriate, to form networks with resource agencies and others in the field; and he will continually study personal successes and failures in order to build a better program. The effective continuing education administrator will be that person who has so clearly become the master of the scholarly "body of knowledge" on adult and continuing education that he has demonstrated both his intellectual excellence and standing, and his value to his institution in ways no one else has or can. will hav e cr eated the environment in which he and his staff He �24 continue to learn and grow and develop programs in concert with the people they serve. From the unique continuing education knowledge base he possesses, and through the special skills and talents he has carefully honed, this professional will provide critical leadership for his department and his institution during the coming era of "changing ground rules in higher education." He will work creatively to help his college or university overcome an outdated, full-time equivalency based funding formula. Through NUCEA and other affiliations, h e will help higher education and America cast off the constraints of self-created systems of credentialing and accreditation. Using his reservoir of experience, he will work effectively with his university faculty to alleviate their discomfiture in dealing with other than captive, post-adolescent students. And, he will be at the forefront in successful efforts to remove the reluctance of institutional decisionmakers -- and those beyond -- to condone or champion unaccust omed approaches to reaching educational objectives. �25 VII It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. The characters in Charles Dickens' novel lived at a time of dramatic social and economic change. I suspect that so do we, and so does higher education in America. But I also sense a readiness on the part of academia -- and on the part of learners -- to consider, explore, test new concepts and patterns. It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. Yet at no time in the recent past have you as professionals and continuing education as a concept and as a reality been better positioned to .. help chart your professional futures, those of your institutions, and that of higher education generally. It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. But we should remember that universities always honor faculty members who demonstrate outstanding erudition and competence; even in times of scarce resources, Nobel Prize winners are seldom fired from their jobs. Extension leaders who are equally knowledgeable and able need have little fear for their futures. Departments of �26 continuing education and institutions of higher learning must rest on the sagacity and performance of those who operate them. On no other rock can they securely stand. Godspeed in your efforts to reach such high, firm ground. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Draft Remarks by Dr. Rus se l.L G. Mawby Chairman and chief executive officer w. K. Kellogg Foundation and Chairman, Council on Foundations Thursday, April 7, 1983 34th Annual CF Conference San Francisco, California At last year's annual conference in Detroit, my predecessor as Chairman, Leslie Luttgens, characterized 1981 as a year of change for the Council and the grantmaking community. new programs. Such change took the form of new leadership and That thrust toward capitalizing on new opportunities and needs was the necessary product of many internal and external forces affecting all of us. The decade of the 1980s is two years and three months old. And we are finding that it is exhibiting all the characteristics most of us predicted it would have: hard, tough, challenging. I think there remains, however, an unextinguishable attitude of hope and optimism among people. It is an enduring belief that we -- as a nation and �2. a world of reasoning, intelligent beings -- will win out over the battery of difficulties that we see positioned before us. Such a belief underpins the whole philosophy and history of private philanthropy, and private grantmaking, in American society. Why? Because the belief that improvement is attainable has proven, inevitably, to be true. Peter Drucker has said that "results are gained by exploiting opportunities." And Arnold Glasow tells us that "problems are opportunities." So, today, those problems, and those opportunities are legion for both society and the grantmaking community. They are forcing all of us, as indi- viduals, as communities, as part of this nation's business and industrial sector, educational and health care systems, and, yes, as grantmakers and grantmaking organizations, to take a close, careful, and in some cases, painfully frank look at ourselves, our work, our plans and our future. We have found as a result of such analysis that we can even do a better job by using our fewer resources with more precision and with more accountability. Importantly. we have found it is possible to alleviate operating costs �3. by watching pennies, not just dollars, and by developing practical interests in cooperation where it never -- or only marginally -- e xisted before. Employees and managers. businesses and universities, elected officials and voters. have begun to acknowledge by deed -- not just words -- the real value in collaboration to solve problems. We have truly. and collectively. begun to understand and appreciate Arnold Glasow's view of problems as opportunities to achieve important social progress. The Council on Foundations is among organizations in the non-profit private sector to accept the problems and opportunities to make changes in its procedures. methods. operations and priorities. Such changes are resulting in greater service to all of you as members of the Council. And I believe the Council's difficult decisions of the past several years will. ultimately. ~ 1" t. t) P~<­ accrue to the millons l~hO benefit from this country's private philanthropic work.

During the Council's recent self study there was another serious concern which drew the attention of the staff and the board. the Council's cloudy, long-term financial picture. It was, of course, A careful review of income sources showed that the Council was not generating the revenues needed to sustain the growing scope of its various programs. As you know, the Council's primary purposes are threefold: ONE, to help improve the climate for growth of corporate, private and community foundations; TWO, to ~~ regional associations of grantmakers; and THREE, to· foster development of professional leadership for the entire foundation community. It is a broad-gauged, vital, and difficult mission. The Council has tightened its budget and has trimmed its list of objectives where practical. But none of us want to reduce or eliminate programs that are essential to meeting critical needs of the membership. �b• ~~~ ~ .

Satisfaction, because we have seen the number of community and corporate foundations, and giving programs, grow dramatically during the past decade, as well as their impact on society. But there are also concerns for the future. And I cannot end my comments today without mentioning three of them. We must increase our efforts to correct the truly absurd public support test to which community foundations are subjected; and which today effectively penalizes a community foundation which is successful in expanding its asset base and grantmaking. This change can, and should, be made by the U.S. Treasury Department, and without delay. We must also intensify our efforts to ensure that foundations comply fully with the law as it relates to public reporting of grantmaking and management activities. Through example, and peer group pressure, we should work towards the goal of all foundations with significant assets and grantmaking annually publishing public information about their work. ' And finally, within weeks of related Congressional hearings scheduled in the U.S. House of Representatives, we must also ask ourselves, as individuals �9. presumably commited to the overall value of philanthropy in our society) why one segment of our field -- namely private foundations -- is in a state of decline. Why has there been) with only a few e xceptions) a near "zero birth rate" for new) large foundations since 1969? Why are today's entrepreneurs not creating private foundations with their we a l t h in the American tradition of Carnegie) Ford) Pew) Mellon) Kellogg, Mott) Kresge) Sloan) and Kaiser? We must ask ourselves --- as individuals and as an organization responsible for helping to determine the future of philanthropy -- whether we believe that private foundations are important to America. And if the answer is yes) then we must also ask ourselves what must be done to remove the barriers to creation of new private foundations right now, as well as ten, twenty, thirty years from now. In closing) I would only add that I consider myself fortunate to have served as the Council's chairman during the past year -- fortunate to have worked with a chief executive officer of Jim Joseph's caliber, to have seen the Council continue to improve its services to members) to continue to �10. speak out, and to speak up, on behalf of philanthropy; and to continue to face the tough questions which will determine the future of private giving and private grantmaking in our society. It is no small, nor insignificant, task. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is indeed a privilege and a pleasure to be with you this evening. - Ltt'-i Saint Benedict as a steward a nd a resource in the community. • ,. ,. ,. The historic relationship with St. Joseph -- St. Benedict's Academy was opened in 1882 a s an institution t ha t c e r t Lf ie d teachers at the primary and secondary school level. St. Benedict as an institution that promotes cultural enrichment for St. Joseph. (The University had a push in 1934 to strengthen the arts department in anticipation of the Benedict Arts Center, which consequently opened in 1963.) The facult y and staff of St. Benedict as a community resource. Stud ents as a community resource -- VISTO Program that today involves more than 500 students in 16 different VISTO sponsored programs. (Outlined in most recent St. Benedict's magazine on page 18.) II - - Sharing those thoughts on St. Benedict and the important role it plays in the community, naturally leads us to the assigned topic for today: "Leadership and Community Problem Solving." ,. I did not want to be presumptuous or inappropriate by giving a proposed long cafeteria list of issues. • Instead, I have chosen a broad overview, to share briefly six observations about things going on in society. Please forgive my frequent reference to Battle Creek, and a ctivities of WKKF -- these are know best. very our Michigan, examples I --Ob s e r va t i on 1: The seeming in~b~l~~ o~r political pr~~es in institutions to deal with significant issues in substantial wall-'-. �2 - .. .. ..

INDEED SIMPLER. IN THE PAST, LIFE WAS My GENERATION COULD APPROACH LIFE IN THREE NEAT BLOCKS -- GO TO SCHOOL, GO TO WORK, OUT TO PASTURE. WHOLE HOST BURGEONING OF REASONS, KNOWLEDGE, COMPLEXITY OF ISSUES, THAT THE THE PATTERN IS ACCELERATING NO RATE INTERRELATEDNESS OF LONGER OF NOw, FOR A ADEQUATE CHANGE, -THE HUMAN EXPERIENCES. YOu AS EDUCATED PERSONS MUST DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING, INCORPORATING IN YOUR OWN LIFE A CONTII\lUHJG INTERACTION BETWEEN WORK, FAMILY, LEISURE, AND LEARNING. AND FINALLY, THAT THIRD CHALLENGE, INVOLVEMENT. EFFECTIVE DEMOCRACY REQUIRES INGREDIENT INDIVIDUAL INVOLVEMENT. A UNIQUE OF OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS VOLUNTEERISM, THOSE THINGS WHICH INDIVIDUALS DO VOLUNTARILY, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO. MARGARET MEAD HAS OBSERVED: �-15"WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY THAT ALWAYS HAS DEPENDED ON VOLUNTEERS OF DIFFERENT KINDS -- SOME WHO CAN GIVE MONEY, OTHERS WHO GIVE TIME, AND A GREAT MANY WHO FREELY GIVE THEIR SKILLS, FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME. CLOSELY, THAT REALLY EMBODIES HUMAN YOU OUR LIFE WILL SEE THAT IF YOU LOOK ALMOST MATTERS TO DEEPEST COMMITMENT SHOULD BE US, LIVED SPECIAL ANYTHING ANYTHING AND THAT TO THE WAY CARED FOR, DEPENDS ON SOME FORM -- MORE OFTEN MANY FORMS -- OF VOLUNTEERISM." THIS FACT GIVES A DISTINCTIVELY HUMANE QUALITY TO LIFE IN AMERICA. BUT ONLY IF WE CONTINUE TO RENEW THE "HABITS OF THE HEART," TO USE THE TITLE OF A RECENT BOOK BY ROBERT BELLAH. LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY IN WHICH YOUR LIFE WILL BE MEASURED ULTIMATELY IS BY THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME. BE SURE, TO SOME TIME MUST BE SPENT IN HOBBIES AND OTHER FORMS OF RELAXATION. BUT LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU CAN IN PAYING BACK THE SOCIETY THAT ALREADY HAS GIVEN SO MUCH TO YOU. YOUR PROFESSION NEEDS YOU, BEYOND THE MANDATE OF THE JOB, TO �-16 - RA ISE THE LEVEL OF PROFESS IONAL PERFORMANCE AND ETH ICS .

RE: Meeting with student leaders at College of Saint Benedict Although the meeting with students is scheduled to be informal, you will have a few minutes to address the stlldents before they ask questions. I think that the students would find the following things of interest: Mawby's view of leadership (i.e., someone who gets something done). • The importance of statesmanship and cooperation in leadership and problem solving. • Your views on community or social involvement (Le., "a person is usually remembered for what they have done with their free time . . . "). • The importance of being w 11 informed in spite of the media. (As a student, I wish someone had pointed out to me that the media did not always tell all of the story.) • The importance of leaders to continue their education, formally or informally. \ DOE/lpt/954w � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Changes in People and their Institutions Extension: the founders-of Extension and the Land Grant System did not seem to see or respect many limits on the roles they played or the visions they saw. (Knapp, Bailey) i.e. leadership. - Today we seem to impose boundaries on ourselves and live with narrow roles and visions of what can be done - Why do we let economic and scientific specialization narrow our view of ourselves and our future? - Why do we narrow ourselves even further with excessive professional specialization (is extension over-trained and under-educated?) Farm People: - smarter, better educated, wealthier - increasingly will not be from Land Grant College s - their problems Rural People: - their problems People in the institutions of agriculture and th e inst itutions making policy for agriculture increasin gly - will not have farm backgrounds - or be from Land Grant Colleges Extension's Opportunities and Role with People, their dev elopment , their problem solving. �J . --- -0 · --. - ~~ ~ : �2 -,------ _. �-3 - - -- - --- - --- - -- _.- - -- -- - ----- - -- . �1 ,/J I ~~ - ~ 9J' ( ; T ~ ~ .

On behal f of t he Founda t i on Board , I wish to expres s our apprec iat ion to t he Exec ut i ve Council and th e Pro gram Committee for this opportunity o f r ep orti ng to ou r National Conventi on. I will be sharing with y ou bri e fl y s ome of the highlights of your Foundation' s progress to date and shar i ng wi th yo u ou r pl a ns for the future.

First, a word of backgr ound : Al pha Gamma Rho , a s a l l o f us r e a li ze , is a very complex or ganizat ion wi th our network of act ive chapter s , alumni groups , and the Nat io nal Fratern ity . Each of these elements has all sort s o f needs - - for physic al f aciliti es , f or th e oper at ional budg e t s of local chapt ers, for the activiti es of our Nat io nal Office . lifelong basis--t o f ul f i l l thes e ne eds. As members, we are obligated--on a Contributions to the fraternity by alumni do not qual i fy as deduct io ns for char i t abl e or educational purp os e s under f e dera l income tax r e gu l ation s. In r e c ognition of this fac t, t he re develope d t he con cept o f a tax-exempt educat ional f oundati on as an auxili a ry unit of our frater n i ty . Thi s idea wa s fir s t co ns ide re d at our nat i ona l �2 convention 12 years ago and was authorized at the national convention 10 years ago, in 1966. As stat ed in the Foundati on' s by-laws, the general purposes are to provide financial support: for educati onal and scientific purposes; to a i d and assi s t ne e dy a nd deserving stude nts in securing a better educati on; and to promot e a nd encourage scientifi c, ph i lo soph i c , and lit erary endeavor s. To accomplish these pur pos e s , the Educ ational Foundation is authoriz ed t o r ec eive money or property by gi f t , devis e or bequest, and to hold, mana ge, inve st, a nd expend such ass ets for the study, experimentation, and advancement o f agr icult ur e or a r eas of r ela t ed e ndeavor . More specifically, funds admi ni st ered by the Foun da t i on are us e d t o: p r ovi de a.ssistance t o needy students through gr a nt s and lo a ns; encour age academic excellence--throu gh scholarship s a nd spe ci al awar ds t o i ndividuals students (including students outside the fraternity), and f or chapt e r awards for over-all academic excellence (to be used f or educational purposes); and to stimulate academic excellence through sup port of chapter reference libraries and other study faciliti e s, and through support of tutorial and counseling programs. Organi za t ional l y , the Edu cational Foundation is an autonomous. tax-exempt, chari table, non-profit corporati on. The membership includes any member of Al pha Gmrrma Rho who has c ontributed $1 00 or mo r e on a n a c cumul a t i ve basis. At the pre s ent time there are 131 members. At t he annual meeting of the membership held last evening 20 members were present. I hope that many in a t tenda nc e a t this conve nt i on will be motivat ed t o become members. or at graduat ion . Be a par t of the growing number o f active alumni! The Foundati on is managed by a Boar d of e lected for a six-year term. t erms on the Board. J oin now-- D i r e c to ~ 's of six members, each Di rec tors c annot be re-elected to successive �3 The six men who now constit ut e the Board are Art hur L. Knobl au ch , Michigan State (President Emer itus , Western Illinois University); Clifford M. Hardin, Purdue (Vice Chairman, Ral st on Puri na), Glenn H. Sul l i van , Western Illinois (Professor of Marketing a t Pur due ) ; Paul K. Bres e e, Illinois (Corporate Executive and Past Grand President, AGR); Donald C. Brock, California-Davis (President of Br o ck Res earch, Inc.); and Jay H. Townsend, Purdue (Legislative Assistant, New Yor k Legislature). Phi l Josephson serves as the Foundation's Secretary. There are two major a s pe ct s in t he a f f a i r s o f the Educat iona l Foundation: Resour ce s (the raising o f f unds) and Programs (u s e of our f u nds ) . From the res ources standpoint , the assets o f yo ur Educat ional Founda ti on today a re $69 , 58 0 . This compares very f avorably with the situation a t the time o f ou r nati on al convention t wo year s a go when the net worth of the Foundation was $34,500. I think th e doubling of our net worth s tat us in a two-year p eriod i s commendable and that t h e r e c ord t o dat e i s good f or t he very short life of t he Edu cational Foundati on. Howeve r, th i s is a r a ther small sum o f money in r el a ti on to the educational nee ds of our fr at e rnity. Thus , while we can be sat is f ie d with progress to da t e, ther e is a gr eat c ha l lenge to ge ne r a t e more r e s ourc es so that the Educati onal Foundati on may more fUlly ser ve its purposes. There are three sources o f fund s t hat we have b e en de vel op i ng to date: (1) Chapter contributions. Six y ears a go the nati onal convention adopted a r e solution to encourage active chapt ers t o contribut e 50 c ents per member per month to the Education Foundation . At ou r nati on al co nvent ion four years ago, thi s recommendation was reaffirmed . However, no chapt er s have b een p r ov i di ng su ch support to the Fou ndation, f ew ha ve made any con tributi on. (2 ) The ma i l campaign to our alumni . This annual mail ing to alumni in the f all of the year i s the mai n source of our revenues t o dat e , p roduc i ng about �4 $10,000 a nnually. We will be changing t he mail campaign pla n this year , based on ou r exper iences ove r the pa s t y ears . t o all al umni . Formerly mai lings we r e made Thi s year, to save po s t age a nd ot her cos t s , we will mail directly on ly t o t hose Brot h e rs who have cont r ibut ed t o e ithe r the Foundation or t he Alumni Voluntary Due s Program in the pa st. The evi denc e is clear that th os e who have given are most likely to give agai n a nd to increa s e t he i r annual gi f t . To p rovi de an op por t un i t y f or al l othe rs , we will have a spec ial f e ature and a co nt r i bution e nv elope i n the f al l i ssue o f the Sic kle a nd Sheaf . A discouragi ng ob s ervation i s that o f t he 26 ,000 alumni o f Alpha Gamma Rho, onl y about 900 respo nded wi t h cont r ibut ions last year. Anything you, your active chapte r s , or alumni groups can do to encourage participati on will be helpful and appre c iat ed . ( 3) An e st at e plann i ng program t o encoura ge gift s a nd bequ e s t s. We have revi s ed the publ i cat i on , "Th e Chal leng e , " which provide s tech nical information r e garding s uc h co nt r ibut ions . of feder al tax l aws. Thi s revision r eflect s the l at est r e gulations This will be us ed as t he basi s fo r an exper iment a l pro- gram to co nt a ct alumni in select ed st at es who may be int erest ed in estate planning. We a re developing plans t o provide individual counsel and guidance in work i ng out est a t e plans whi ch will serve individua l nee ds and will also h elp the purposes o f the Edu ca t i on al Foundati on. Tha t' s the r e s our s e s i de : We're smal l , but growi ng . We ne ed your help. Our progress in pr og r ams , of co urse , is relat ed to our progre s s in securing r es ourc e s. We cannot undert ake more than we can a f fo r d . Thus, withi n the limitati ons of our resourc e s, we have undertaken t he f ollowing programs. 1. Mat ching grants to chapte r s fo r educ at ional purpo s es . The s e gran t s t o chapt e rs have usually b e en in the f orm of s cho l a rsh ips , awar ds , a nd gr ant s f or assistance in library i mprovement. Twenty-two chapt ers t ook a dvantage o f �5 this matching gr a nt s progr am in 1973-74. We hop e even more will avail themselves o f this opp or t un i t y in the coming yea r . Up to $400 is available to each ch a pter on a matching basis, subj ect t o th e appr ova l of their pro posal by the Foundat i on's Board. 2. The Educ ati on al Foundati on awards two na ti on al scho l a r sh i p s each y ear o f $60 0 each . One is to an outstanding 4-H Club member t hroug h the National 4- H Council ; t he other is t o an outstanding FFA member thro ug h the National Vocati on al Agricultural Tea che r s Ass o ci a t i on . 3. Chapter awards for scholarship. Thes e s ch olarship recognitions a re present ed by th e Nati onal Fraternity, reco gnizing s ch olastic excellence for large, medium , a nd small-size chapters. 4. In add it ion , t he Boar d of t he Educ ati on al Founda ti on has aut hori ze d a budget of up to $1 , 00 0 f or a ddi t iona l awar ds r elated to scholar sh i p , l eadership. ac h ievement , a nd ser vic e . Details o f this awards p rogram will be det ermined by t he Exec ut i ve Counc i l o f the Nat ional Frat e r ni ty . The ideas whi ch h ave been sugges t e d f or pos sib l e p r ogrammi ng development by the Educati on al Foundation are exciti ng indeed. At present, our creativity and initia tive are co n s t r a i ne d by our limited r es ources.

Introduction (RR1) In a recent sneech, Economist Irving Kristol referred to what he called non-profit organizations' ."sin of pride." By that, Kristol meant the notion, held by many of America's nonprofit organizations, that they somehow constitute an independent "third sector" in American society. According to their logic, there is the private sector, consisting of business enterprise; the public sector, consisting of government; and then the third, not-for-profit sector, of which foundations, most hospitals, universities, and social agencies are considered part. Kristal suggested, and I agree, that there is some question, and some danger, in identifvin g nonprofit organiz2tions as an indeDe~dent. third sector. Non-profit or ganizations are the flesh of the flesh, bone of the bone, blood of the blood of the private sector. is from the private sector And it that nonnrofit organizations derive their human and financial resources: from the individual private citizen who donates time and money, and from the private enternrise, business system which sustains our economy. If there is today widespread support for the concept of a third, independent non-profit sector, it is because of a general blurring of distinction between the historical roles of the private dnd go v e r nme n t a l sectors in our society. And that is the tonic of our mutual exploration this afternoon. Richmond and I TNill keep our overview fairly brief and a l.l.ow time for your questions. Jim �. " 'II.

RUSSELL G. MAWBY August 27, 1982 Thank you, Mayor Oglesby. I am delighted to be here this morning, dedication ceremony. This sculpture, to join in this "CIRCA," stands as the "gateway" to the future of our community in both a symbolic and a practical sense. Because it is located here, beside our new intermodal transportation terminal (depot) and a part of McCamly Square, it provides a focus of interest for people arriving in Battle Creek and for all of us as we move about the city. It will surely be a topic of conversation, perhaps even criticism -but I predict that it will grow in our appreciation and will become a symbol of our city, Rapids and the Picasso in Chicago. artist, Mr. all happen. Calli gan, as have the Calder in Grand We are indebted to the and to the committee who have made it �2 But "CIRCA" is more than a gateway in the obvious tangible sense. It is a symbolic gateway to the future of Greater Battle Creek, from the city I a Battle Creek that is vastly different saw when I came here in 1966. our city is not what it used to be. I People tell me know they are right. I know because less than two decades a go we had no Family Y Center, no Michigan Mall, no McCamly Square with its Stouffer's Hotel and Kellogg Center; Area Vocational Center; there was no Calhoun the Kellogg Community College campus was just beginning to flourish; Fort Custer Industrial Park was an idea, not a reality; Binder Park Zoo didn't exist; railroad consolidation was only a hope in the hearts of citizens who waited in long queues of automobiles while endless lines of boxcars crawled across the main streets; and the Lakeview Mall development s eemed light years away, if it was thought of at all. So the sculpture represents for me a changing Battle Creek, a different Battle Creek -- a prosperous, vibrant, Battle Creek. And, a ppr opr i a t e l y , and vital it is the result of �3 community effort -- the combined contributions of countless individuals, in time, talent, and 6011ars. Perhaps Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: so we do; and as we do, "As we are, so it is done to us; we are the builders of our fortunes and the future." Today we are taking part in a a ceremony of dedication. I time-honored tradition -- like to think that our participE- tion in the dedication of this sculpture is a symbolic statement. As a component of our Sesquicentennial observancE, linking the past to the present and the future, this ceremon~ is a declaration of our commitment to continue to work together to make Greater Battle Creek, the entire metropolitE~ area, an ever better community. Before coming over here this morning, school Latin is a bit rust y, to be sure I I be c ause my high turned to the dictionary just understood th e precise "translation" or definition for "CIRCA." Webster's says Circa means "about, or around," generally used in reference to a particular date or point in time. �4 This sculpture: CIRCA - Gateway to the Future, represents an important point in time, an important moment in both the symbolic and real growth of Battle Creek. symbolizes what Battle Creek can be if we continue to work together. and will be It �DED ICAT ION OF SCULPTURE C IRCA -G a t ew ay toth e Fu tu r e F r i d a y , Augu s t 27 , 1982 I n t e rmod a1 Ce n t e r 11 :30 a .m . 1 . \o f f iLCOME - MA' (ORFLOYD OGLESBY I I .REFERENCE TO DAR DAV IS I I I .INTRODUCE DR .

Mawby, President Board of Directors The Educational Founda't i ouof Alpha Gamma Rho Knoxville, Tennessee August 28, 1974 This morning the balance of our breakfast program will foc us on The EducationalFoundat i on of Alpha Gamma Rho. On behalf of the Foundation Board, I wish to express our appreciation to the Executive Council and the Program Committee f or this opportunity of reporting to our National Convention. I will be sharing with you briefly some of the highlights of your Foundation's progress to date and sharing with you our plans for the future. Mo s t of us know too l ittle about the Educational Foundati on of our fr aternity. We need to better understand its purposes and its potential if the Foundation is to make its maximum contribution to our brotherhood. Alpha Gamma Rho, as all of us realize, is a very complex organization with our net wor k of active chapter s , alumni groups, and the Nat ional Fraternity. Each of these elements has all sorts of needs--for physical facilities, for the operational budgets of local chapters, for the activities of our National Office. As members, we are obligated to fulfill these needs. Contributions by a lumni and f r i end s of the fraternity do not qualify as deduct ions f or charitable or educ at i ona l purpose s under f ederal income tax regulations. In r eco gnition of this f act , there developed the concept of a tax-exempt educational fou ndation as a n auxiliary unit of our fraternity. This idea was fi rst considered at our national convention ten years a go and was authorized at the national convention eight years ago, in 1966. As stated in the Founda t i on ' s by-laws, the general purpos e s are to provide financial support : for educational and scientif ic purposes; to aid and a s si s t needy a nd deserving students in securing a better education ; and to promote and �2 encou r a ge s cientific , philosophic , and l it erary ende avo rs .

Russell G. Mawby Chairman a nd Chief Exec ut i ve Of f icer w. K. Kellogg Foundati on at the 49t h Annual Mee t i ng of t he Rural Sociologica l Soc i e t y Salt La ke City , Utah Augus t 28, 1986 1. Thank you for t he pr i vi l ege of be i ng he r e and f or t he recognition you are givi ng to me. I, just as would you, f eel undeserving in bei ng named to r e ce i ve thi s awa r d fo r Distinguished Service t o Rural Life. I confess to not understanding the mys t e rious proces s by which such honors are bestowed, but I a cc ept t h i s tribute on behalf of mysel f and my coll eag ue s at t he ~~ . K . Kell ogg Founda t i on. The Foun dation, for more t han fi fty years, has been dedi ca t ed t o assi st ing rural peopl e in addres s i ng thei r needs as a pa r t of the broa der mis sion of t he Foundation . Thus , we acc e pt thi s awar d as a tribute to our ef fo rt s to as sis t you and other s who share this goal and vision. I appreciate al s o t he opportunity of meet ing here with s o ma ny who sha r e a co ncer n with r ural li f e . I a m delighted to be wi th s o many good friends f r om bot h the distant and the recent past , and to meet new friend s who share our concerns f or rural socie t y a nd f r om whom I learn so much and gain s uc h inspiration. I t is grea t to be with you: �2 II . When Dr . Wava Hane y, who chairs your awa r ds committee, co nt a c t ed me about t h i s occasion , she invited me to add r ess t he members of the Society a t t hi s luncheon meeting . At t hat time , i t seemed a good idea and a wonder ful opportunity . But now, as t he moment has arr ived , I exper ience the us ual s en s e of awe a nd inadequacy of thi s co unt r y boy when invited to addr e s s a gr oup of experts f a r more lear ned than I . Each of you is an ex per t on t he t opi c of r ural l i f e , or a segment of i t -- so we c ould l i te ral l y selec t our speak er at random a nd be a s we l l s e rved. Wha t I pr opos e to do in these few precious moments is to s imply share s ome thoughts - - s ome ref l ections -- on rura l Amer i ca, whi ch I hope wi l l be usef ul t o you . In reviewing the pr ogr am for t his Annua l Mee t i ng , I am impr es s e d even amaze d - - wi t h the range and variety of topi cs t o whi ch you ar e addressing your atten tion . f ollowing: Onl y a sampl i ng woul d i nc lude the Social Ana l ys i s and Nat ur a l Res our ce Age nci es ; Swamps a nd Al ligators: Rur a l Sociology and t he Farm Cri s i s ; Boomtowns; Public Attitudes Towar d Agr icul t ur e ; Fa c t or s a nd Progr ams Influencing Ac t i vity and Li f es t yl e s of t he Rur al Elderl y; Role of the Socia l Sciences i n Agri cul t ur a l College Curricula i n 1990; Women i n Agri cul t ure and Rur al Li f e ; Nonmetropol itan Popula tion Tr ends ; Class Structure i n Ame r i can Agr i cu l t ure ; Tr ends i n Famil y Structure ; The 1990 Cens us and Rur al America ; Rur al and Agric ul t ural Ini t i a t ives of t he J oi nt Economic Commi ttee ; Community Development �3 Teaching, Research, and Pr a ct ice ; Small Fa r ms a nd Pover t y ; Impacts of t he Farm Cri s i s on Fa r mer s and Fa r m Fa mi l i es ; Women i n Devel opment ; Rural Heal t h I nt e r e s t Group ; Rur al Crime a nd Deviance; Impa c t of Public Pol i c y on Rura l Ar ea s ; The Nature of Rural Poverty and Government Response ; a nd Regi onal Centers for Rur a l Developmen t . Tha t is only a sampling of the great cafet eria of intellectual options a vai l abl e t o you in the ses s i ons this week. I have had opportunity al s o to s can -- and wi ll read in de t a i l t he J oi nt Economi c Commi t t ee r epor t, New Di mensi ons i n Rural Policy: Building Upon Our Her itage , t o which many of you contributed s i gni f i cant l y . This would appear t o be a compr ehensive statement which i ncorporates 65 studie s on the rura l ec onomy and society . Fr om these a nd other sources , i t i s ap pa r e nt t h a t t here i s a wealth of i nformation and thought rega rding is sue s confronting rural Amer i ca . Becaus e you are experts in the s e matters , there i s no ne ed for me to de live r ye t anot her l i t a ny on rur al pe opl e and r ur al communiti e s t heir past, their trials, t hei r f ut ur e . things catch my attention: variety in rural America. But i n all of t hi s , two f i r s t , there i s amaz i ng diversity a nd Toda y , those rural communi t i e s dependent upon commerical farming are pa r t i cul a rly a f f ect ed by the current farm crisis. The tax ba s e has eroded , incomes are down, there are neither public fund s through taxation nor phi l ant hr opic fund s through volunta r y giving to s us t a i n quali t y schoo l s, l ocal governments, or prot ective an d human services. �4 I n other rural communities, f a r mi ng i s a margi nal economi c ent er pri s e , not unimp ortan t in t erms of qua l i ty of l i f e and lif e s tyl e , but not pr ovi di ng an economic base f or l i veli hood . Some of t hes e communities a r e de pendent upon primary enterpris e s mining, oil, or f or e s t r y . Many a r e dependent upon s pec i a l act i vities for economic via bili t y , such as touri sm or a mil itary i nstallation . Mo s t a r e ex peri enc ing out-migra t ion of t he young and in- migration of retirees. You know the de t a i ls best of a ll, but t he underlying les s on i s s i mpl y that rural interests a r e ama zingly diverse and non- cohe s i ve. Thus , i t i s often di ff i c ult t o c oal e sc e dive r se regions a nd diver gent views . Rur a l New Engl a nd is qu ite different fr om r ur al I owa , and both are diff er ent from r ural Al a ska . Second , drawing up on t he amaz i ng a r r ay of de scr ipt ive a nd analytic de tai l available t o us , we must search fo r a comprehens ive and encompassing whole. Somehow , the bits a nd piec es must be br ought togethe r and must be interpreted in ways us e ful t o t hos e dealing with the issues of t he moment and t he f ut ure, usef ul to t hose making dec isions ab out rural iss ues an d l i vi ng t heir l i ves i n rural set tings. We need al s o to be r emi nd ed t ha t i n t he f i nal sense only peo ple ar e import ant . We should continue to focus upon t he importance of the i ndi vi dua l, t he f ami l y , and t he communi t y . pe rson is a cher i shed indi vidua l , not just a statis tic. Each Out of the array of statistical a nd analytic informati on, a nd conc eptual a nd theoretica l materials, we need s omehow t o be hel pful i n charting pathways t o a bet ter t omorr ow. �5 A parallel observation from the health prof essions may be useful. As I reflect on the hea l t h s c ene in cont empor ar y America , I mar vel at t he benefits of superb s peciali zati on - - ma rvel ous technology, superbly prepared practitioners, an amazi ng capacity to pe r f or m medi cal miracles . But, with a ll of this t her e seems to be a tendency to l os e the central f ocus on the pa t ient a s a human be i ng -- wi t h hopes a nd dreams, home a nd loved ones , successes a nd f a i l ur e s , foi bl es and f ears , and una nswe r ed ques t i ons. The compassion of the caring prof essions may be overwhel med by the technology and i ntellectual power av ailabl e to them. As we deal wi t h t he complex and intriguing i s s ues of rur a l society from farm policy to menta l health to rural roads and br i dges - let us ke ep always in mind our ul t i mate conc e r n with peopl e. To f ail to do so would be inappropriate to our prof e s s ional calling. II I . The historic commitmen t of t he W. K. Kellogg Found ati on is t o "the application of knowledge to the probl ems of pe opl e . " We s a y simplistical ly that " in most ar eas of human concern, we know better t han we do . " We know more about wha t good educat ion could and shoul d be than is gene r a l ly exper i enced; we know more about what hea lth care services coul d and should be than are generally available; and we have the techni cal know-how t o fe ed multi ples of the wor l d ' s current populations, while mi lli ons starve and go hungry. All of this i s not t o depreciate at a l l the importance of �6 continuing r e s earch of eve r y kind, from t he mos t ba s i c and es ot e r i c to the most a pplied. In f a c t , most pro j ec ts t o which the Founda t i on supplies assistance woul d be de s cri bed a s action or a ppl ied re search, compr ised of demons t r a t ions or experiment s which mobi l iz e knowl edge a nd know-how f r om a vari ety of di s c i pli nes or ' speci a l t y f i el ds and eval uate t he i r eff ec t i veness in var ious ap pr oa che s a ddr e s s i ng human needs . An une nding cha llenge in our s oc i e ty i s t o put t o use in bene f i c i a l ways the r ich intellectual r e source s avai lable to us fr om r es ea r ch and ot her schol a r ly a ct i vi t i es . St eppi ng ba ck and taking a br oad vi ew of the rural s cene in our nati on and beyond , r e c ogni zi ng t he rea l i t i es of the moment in the context of the her itage of the pa s t an d t he options of t he f ut ur e , a nd considering cour s es of ac t i on t ha t mi gh t be doabl e a nd construc tive i n t e rms of bet t e r i ng the human circumstance s of the rural s cene , I would share with you very bri efly the f ol l owi ng no tions wh i ch seem pr omi s i ng . 1 . We need a clear ar tic ul a t i on of pol icy al t e r na t i ves at t he local , s t a te, a nd national levels wh i ch could c ontribute to vitality in the countryside. Bas i c t o s uc h pol icy considera tions i s the ultimate question , doe s "rural" rea l l y ma t ter ? Shoul d we be concerned a t al l a bou t the dete r i or a t i on of t he count ryside t he di s a ppeara nce of cr os s r oads communi t ies, t he s t r uggl es of coun t i e s and count y- s ea t town s to s t a y alive, t he di l emma of peo pl e de s i r i ng t o l i ve i n rural se t ti ngs ? I s a vital r ur al Amer i ca a desirabl e or nece s s ar y �7 cou nterpoint to a vibrant urba n Ameri ca ? I s t he r e clea r , objective, a nd pe r s ua s i ve ev i dence t hat Amer i ca ' s f ut ur e wi l l be t he lesser i f the vi tal i t y of the countr ys i de dimi nishe s and Ameri ca's life i s i ncr ea s i ng l y concentra t ed i n urba n centers ? My sense of history and societal as pirations , my limited unde r s tanding of the human co ndition, and t he basic thrust of my value s and biases suggest tha t we do need to be c oncer ned with nurturing rural , sma ll t own, non-metropolit an America as an important pa r t of our t ot a l nationa l f a bric. If so, we need expert s like you to provide a clear de s cr i pt i on of pol i cy al t er na t i ves , their components and their conse quences , so t ha t deci sion makers can a c t responsib ly a nd responsive l y i n these changi ng t i mes . As a l a yman , I se e your professional pos t ur e as general l y r etrospective, not an uni mpor t a nt cont r ibut i on . But we desperatel y need your experti s e t o help sha pe the future - - t o ass i st in influencing what mi gh t be , what co ul d be , and what should be. 2. In an er a of restrict ed publi c budgets an d shrinking fe de r al programs, r ur a l areas ne ed new multi -organizational models f or the del i ver y of health car e, ed ucation, and ot her human s e rvi ce s . The s e initiatives should cro s s poli tica l a nd �organizationa l boun darie s and crea te inter-institut i ona l and inter-governmen tal pa r t ne rsh i ps among publi c agenc i es , universities ( i ncl udi ng the Coope r a t i ve Ext ens i on Ser v i c e ), community co lleges , vocational-technical cente r s , human servic e agenci e s , and voluntar y organi za t ions.

The knowledge resources of univer s i ties, community colleges, and othe r public age nci es should be made avail abl e t o l oca l governments in creative ways t o addr e ss their ne ed s. 5. Fi na lly , the intellectua l ba s e: f ur t her and more comprehensive ap proa che s to rural i s sue s need t o be nurtured. Scholars f r om a br oad range of field s of study - - r ur al s oci ol ogy and sociology , poli tica l science , economic s , a nt hropol ogy , law , hea l t h , educa t i on, en gi neer i ng, business, economic devel opment -- should be encouraged to work toge t her in a ddressing rural i s s ues a nd des i gni ng strategies for ameliorative action.

TV. A cl osing thought : Who speaks f or rur a l Amer i ca ? At the moment , t he voice of rural America seems rel a tively weak and br oadl y di s persed .

HEALTH AND EDUCATION Remarks by Dr. Russell G. Mawby President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation at the First American Health Congress Chicago, Illinois August 9, 1972 I I am delighted to be with you this morning. Thank you for the privilege of participating in the program of the American Health As many of you know, I am a r~lative Congres~ '72. newcomer to our Foundation's staff and particularly to my current responsibilities. This is my first oppor- tunity t.o attend a national conference i.n the health field. Accordingly, as a part of my own personal program of continuing education, I welcome the op portunity to participate in the various sessions of this Congress , to view and discuss the exhibits and, especially, to meet and visit with so many of you informally. It is exhilarating and gratifying to be a part of a -pioneering event such as this first Congress. I join others in expressing congratulations to your four organizations--the American Hospital Association, the Catholic Hospital Association, the American Nursing Home Association, and the Health Industries Association--for their vision and leadership in bringing about this joint annual professional meeting. Too many of our efforts in the complex area of health a r e characterized by fragmentation and diversity, rather than comprehensiveness and coordination. This Congress is a tangible recognition of the commonality of concern, purpose, and interest of your four constituent groups. I commend you. �2 I I T h e t ~ e o ft h i sC o n g r e s s , "H e a l t handth r=Q u a l i t yo fL i f e , "i s c e r t a i n l ya p p r o p r i a t e ,s i g n i f i c a n t ,t im e l y .

It is to issues such as these that innovative efforts in health care must be directed. IV In the pluralistic tradition of our American society, the particular role of private philanthropy to societal progress is the encouragement of innovation. While philanthropic resources are almost miniscule in relation to total expenditures of the American public fOl health, philanthropic funds represent the risk capital which has been responsible for many irillovations in health technology, education, and delivery. While the operating 'budge t s of many of the institutions which you represent are larger than the budget of the Kellogg Foundation, our funds are essentially "unr-estr-Lc t.ed" whereas the typical institutional budget is pre-connnitted, with little flexibility or- option for creative and uncertain undertakings. As a part of your institutional situation, it is apparent that the present pattern of reimbursement by third-party payers constrains managerial flexibility and responsiYeness and inhibits experimentation and change. It does not seem ulll'easonable to expect you, as health care leaders, to take an initiating responsibility in bringing about improvement in reimbursement arrangements, including the institutionalization of the costs of new techniques or patterns once their value has been verified. To do less is a dereliction of your pr-of'e s s i.ona.L prerogative. Obviously, because there is great diversity in the purposes, philosophies, and procedtJes of the foundations of this country, I cannot speak for all. It is a safe generalization, howe,rer, that private foundations are concerned that their limited resources be directed not to general operational purposes or to "more of the same" but rather to significant pioneering vent.ur es , �'I To i llus t r a te the contribution of philanthropy in health care, I will use t h e foundatio n wi th which I am as sociated and wi t h whi ch I am most familiar. As those of you who know our Foundation appreciate, we are concerned with the application of kn owledg e t o the problems of peop le. do not support research per see We Rather, our orientation grows out of the r e cogni t i on of the fact that one of t h e problems of our society is t he effe ctive utilization of available kno,rledge, in effect putting to use that which is known. Beyond this, we are people-oriented, focusing upon signifi- cant problems which relate to human well-being. In t he endeavors we support, we are concerned with the potential for replication of ideas successfully demonstrated and with the cost-bene f i t ratio of the expenditure. One example of such suppor t was the development of the intensive care unit as a s ignificant advancement in the hospital fi eld. The Foundation's aid was extended to a selected number of hospitals when the idea was in its infancy. The experiences of these pioneer units were car efl1lly evaluated, and in ke.ep i.ng with the Foundat i on ' s concern vith dissemi nation, were l<rio.ely dist :;:'ibuted t o the f i el d. Another exampl e- - r e coga i zi ng the importance of the contribution of management engineering to both patient care and cost cont a i nment , the Foundation was an ear l y supporte:c of program efforts to t.h i.s end , particula rly using the approach of multiple hospitals sponsorship. Finally, for many years the Foundation has encouraged the sharing of resources by health care institutions and organizations. Currently we are aiding a number o f "shared. services models" in various parts of the country . The hope is that the exp eriences of thes e selected programs will be of assistance to the field at l ar ge in terms of their consideration of like endeavors. �8 A sw esUT v e y i nb r o a dt e rm st h ep r o p o s a l s com ingt ou s f r omcommun i t i e s , i n s t i t u t i o n s ,o r g a n i z a t i o n s ,c o l l e g e sandu n i v e r s i t i e sw i t hl o c a l ,a r e ao r n a t i o n a lcon c em s inr e l a t i o nt oh e a l t hc a r ed e l i v e r y~ I wou ld m ak e t h ef o l 10wL lg o bs e r v a t i o n s : 1 .

Reorga.nization of ambulatory health services away from an endless series of specialty-oriented clinics to a more comprehensive family-centered health service unit utilizing such qualified per-sonnel as lliITSe practitioners and physicians assistants for health maintenance functions, preventive health programs, and long-term supervision of chronic conditions. In this regard, perhaps thought should be given to the implementation of the concept of vertical car e , ,;·lith an ambitious implementation of the principles of p:ceventive medicine and provision of quality health care in the Leas t-cco s t manner and c i.rcumst.ance . 2. Development of institution-based outreach programs, such as home care, primary care clinics in under-served areas. and appr-oprLat.e linkages or relationships with other c.are providers, such a.s nursing homes. 3. Adoption of the problem-oriented medical reeord and approach to medical practice, not only for in-patient services but for ambu.l.at.or y and out-·patient programs as well. 4. Development of rational patterns for handling true emergency medical prob.Lems , with the division of labor amongst institutions along rational lines and with an integrated transportation and communications system. c; Development of effective programs of in··patient education for illness management, with an improvement of the patient's understanding of his problem and the procedures that will be performed, and with an �12 " emphasis upon the patient's appropriate responsibility for his individual rehabilitation and continuing health maintenance. 6. Further development and systemization of the relationship of education and service in the health fields. Not only must there be dramatic changes in the educational processes and relationships by which people become qualified and prepared for health careers; there must also be improvement in relationships between educational institutions and health service institutions and settings. Somehow we must bring to reality the much-discussed concept of a health delivery network delivery. HS it r el at e s to both educ ation and health care St.art.Lng with the health needs of the individual, this must consider the totality and multiplicity of components in the delivery system: the individual private practitioner, the local clinic or service center, public health agencies, the specialized cJinic, the community hospital, the large metropolitan health centel', and the great teaching and research centers. Each is a vital element but failures in coordination, continuity, comprehensiveness, compassion, too often leave the individual confused and inadequately attended. 7. Enhancement of preservice and inservice education in the hospital setting for hea.Lt h personnel. This setting is not only appropria.te but essential for certain aspects of education and training. Hospitals are becoming more conscious of their educational r ole and in many instances are beginning to establish institution-wide education and t l'aining programs. Such programs encompass employee orientation, on-the-job training, supervisory development, car e er mobility, clinical instruction, inservice education, patient educat::'on, and c0mmunity education. �1 3 T of u r t h e rt h i sc o n c e p t , I amp l e a s e dt or e p o r t8, re ce r r t comm i tm en t by ou r Fo u n d a t i o nt ot h eH o s p i t a lR e s e a r ch andEdu c a t i o nT r u s to ft h eAm e r i c an H o s p i t a lA s s o c i a t i on ,t oa s s i s ti n t h ed ev e lopm en to fa n a t i o n a ld emon st r a t i on e f f o r tcon c e rn ed" l i t h t h eexp an s ion R n d imp rov em en to fi n s t i t u t i o n -w i d ee ~ation and t r a i n i n gp rog r am s .

Mawby W. K.

There is something special about being firs t , In the years ahead, as the presentation of these awards becomes an annual event, all of us will be able to say, "Oh, yes, we remember -- we were there the firs t year!" I want to compliment the Trusteeli of the El Pomar Foundation for their vision and courage in this initiative; the Selection .QQ!JUl1i..sJ3ion. who, in their difficul t assignment, were indeed walking an un charted path; and the finalists, a select few identified for their distinguished accomplishments and service. El Pomar Awards for Excellence! part of this occasion. It's a thrill for me to be a Today we salute EXCELLENCE -- Excellence on the part of I!e-Qpl.e., who through their organizations and institutions --- have fulfilled their mission, performed their role especially well, in an exemplary way. Sometimes, in our society's desire to provide opportunities for all and re ~ognition to many, we fail to express our appreciation, our admiration for those who set the example, serve as models for others, establish new patterns and standards to which all can aspire. Today, we salute that dimension of Awards for Excellence. life through these El Pomar II I confess that I am uncomfortable in my assignment today. I feel just as I always do when I agree to give a conunencement address. When the moment finally arrives, it's sobering indeed to realize that not a single person came to the conunencement ceremony to hear the co~nencement speaker. Today, if we are quite hones t , not a single person came to hear the gues t speaker. There is a much more exci ting agenda which will unfold in just a few minutes. Thus, I will intrude only briefly on our afternoon's schedule. Today, in this celebration we are focusing on the nonprofit sector of society. It's referred to by different terms independent sector, the third sector, the nonprofit sector. �2 A s w e t a k ea m a c ro v i ew o ft h es o c i e t a li n s t i t u t i o n so f Am e r i c a , w e t h i n ka u t om a t i c a l l yo f t h ep r i v a t es e c t o r-t h ef o r p r o f i t s e c t o ro fb u s i n e s s and i n d u s t r y ,t h es o u r c eo fp r o d u c t i v i t y and abund an c e ; and o f t h e i~ector t h e t a x s u p p o r t e d a c t i v i t i e so f gov e rnm en ta tl o c a l ,s t a t e ,and f e d e r a ll e v e l s .

She said: "The schools were strangely quiet, with no field trips, no volunteer aides on the playground or in the classrooms ... as were the colleges where scholarships and financial support were no more. The flowers 011 church altars withered and died. Children in day nurseries lif ted their arms, but there was no one to hold and love them. Alcoholics cried out in despair, but no one answered, and the poor had no recourse for heal th care or legal aid. But the saddest part of the journey was the symphony hall which was dark and would remain that way. So were the museums that had been built and stocked by the volunteers with the treasures of our times. The hospital was quiet as I passed it. Rooms were void of books, flowers, and voices. The child ren's wing held no clowns ..• no laughter. The reception desk was vacant. The home for the aged was like a tomb. The blind listened for a voi ce that never came. Food grew cold on trays that would never reach the mouths of the hungry. All of the social agencies had closed their doors, unable to implement their programs of Scouting, recreation, drug control, Big Sisters, Big Brothers, YW, YM, the retarded, the crippled, the lonely, and the abandoned. The heal th agencies had a sign in the window, "the search for cures for cancer, muscular dyst rophy, birth defects, multiple sclerosis, emphysema, sickle cell anemia, kidney disorders, heart diseases, e t c , , have been cancelled due to lack of interest." All that stands between us and the chilling world envisioned by Erma Bombeck is the line of people who volunteer -- people who care enough to give their money and their time, their talents, and their hearts. III In the bigness and the busyness of life in the world today, it is sometimes easy to deplore the role of the individual in addressing large societal problems. But I remind you that only people are important, and that only people make a difference. Today in these Awards presentations, we may recognize organizations or institutions, but each of us knows that these entities are simply a composite of the people who comprise them. The effectiveness of the EI Pomar Foundation is not a consequence of its investment portfolio but of the people who are its Trustees and staff. The Selection Commission is only as wise as the people who are its members. And each of the finalists organizations and institutions is a consequence of people -- one or two or a handful or many who care, who are committed, and who carry out their mission. �4 As I think about today and tomorrow and the importance of each individual, I often remember a few lines that I learned in a two-room country school: I am only one but I am one; I can't do everything, but I can do something; What I can do I ought to do; And what I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do. If each of us will do what we can and ought to do in the various roles of life, we will be doing our bit to better the human condition in our time and in our world. What bet ter goal can anyone seek? My congratulations. RGM:lpt64 I wish you Godspeed. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation at Northern Michigan University Marquette~ Michigan December 19, 1981 OLD VALUES ill~D NEW EXPECTATIONS Subtitled: IIS a nta Claus and Mr. Slurpee versus PacMan ll 1. I am deeply honored to be asked to address this 1981 graduating class. I arrived on campus yesterday, and have appreciated the opportunity to visit with students, parents, and faculty. One senses that Northern Michigan is a university with a purpose, and that your reputation for creative and effective programs is well deserved. Thank you for letting me be with you today. To you who are graduating, I add my congratulations to those already expressed. For each of you, this is an occasion long awaited, one of those instances in a person's life when you can have both a sense of satisfaction in �past aChievement) and a special excitement for the future. I would add \. a word \ of congratulations to all who have contributed in making this day a reality. I think first of parents and families, and in some instances husbands or wives and children who have sacrificed their personal interests so you might study at Northern Michigan University. And I think of all the people who are Northern Michigan, those who have gone before -- establishing, building, and sustaining this institution; and those who currently carry forward their work -- members of the University Board of Control, faculty, officers and staff, alumni, and friends. I approach my assignment this morning knowing not one person came here for the primary purpose of hearing the Commencement address. If we are quite honest, each of you has a much more personal -- and more important -- reason for being here. So my remarks will be brief and focused on the topic of "Old Values and New Expectations;" subtitled: "Santa Claus and Mr. Slurpee versus PacMan. subtitle later. 2 II More on that �II. I should first mention that the Foundation which I rep r e n t has for some 50 years seen education as a primary focus for how it might help individuals, institutions, and communities create better lives and a better society much as you have seen a college education as the avenue to personal growth and success. Today, the Foundation's programming efforts are within the broad fields of health, education, and agriculture, and extend to four continents. But the Kellogg Foundation began its programming right here in Michigan in 1930, and the Foundation has maintained a special commitment to the needs of our state and citizens. That commitment has included support for a number of programs in the Upper Peninsula, going back nearly 50 years. Recently we have provided funds to improve diagnostic health care services or to est - l i s h intensive care and burn care units at hospitals all across 3 �the Upper Peninsula, from Iron Mountain to Sault Sainte Marie, and from Escanaba to here in Marquette at St. Mary's and St. Luke's hospitals, and Marquette Medical Center. Small public libraries, as well as college and university libraries, have received financial support to expand availability of books to both citizens and students in the Upper Peninsula through a national, computerized library network. Such Kellogg grants have gone to Northern Michigan University, as well as Lake Superior State College, Michi g an Tech University, and county libraries in such areas as Crystal Falls, Escanaba, Gladstone, Houghton, Manistee, and Ontonagon. Most recently, our Foundation provided over $1.5 million to the Upper Peninsula Health Education Corporation, based here in Marquette, in a program to improve the availability of medical care In the Upper Peninsula. Robert Glenn, Northern Michigan University's provost, is chairman of this non-profit Corporation's 4 �board of directors. He summarized the importance of the Corporation's family practice medical residency program when he noted recently: "The Corporation believes that by training young physicians in the Upper Peninsula, we can inevitably convince them that to practice medicine in the Upper Peninsula is a good investment of both their personal lives and their professional careers." And, of course, the bottom line is that the Upper Peninsula needs more doctors. All of these efforts supported by the Kellogg Foundation, totaling some $3 million in grants in the Upper Peninsula, are, then, focused on better availability and use of knowledge to solve human problems -- for the reality is that as a society we know much more than we have been able to effectively use for human advancement. End of sales pitch for the Kellogg Foundation and the role of private philanthropy in addressing society's needs! 5 �III. As you graduate and move on either in your chosen career or to further study, our society is confronted with several large, value laden problems. On one hand, how to deal with America's faltering social and economic system. On the other, how to respond rationally and responsibly to unparalleled technological change and the ever growing demands of a hungry and troubled world. Your task of facing these challenges has been complicated by errors of omission or fuzzy thinking by those who chart our nation's course. As Norman Podhoretz, editor of Commentary magazine, has observed, only now, as a nation, are we reawakening to the fact that social and economic progress in this country are immutably tied together -- as much as generation is linked to succeeding generation. As a nation, we Americans in the past 20 years have simultaneously forgotten how far we've come, while being unrealistic about how fast we can go in the future. 6 We have chosen to �forget that in 1949, more than 15 percent of American households had incomes of less than $3,000 in today's dollars. By the late 1970s, the figure was only three percent. While fewer Americans are truly poor today, more and more people are becoming more and more affluent. Right after the second World War, fewer than 15 percent of American households had incomes of $15,000, in today's dollars. By the late 70s, more than one-half enjoyed such an income. The reality for all of us -- and especially members of this graduating class -- is that such a rate of progress in the years ahead will be difficult -- some would say impossible. You face a different world. You grew up in an age when economic progress seemed automatic. Yet you are maturing in an era characterized by rapid inflation and negligible economic growth. You were born at a time when America's eminence was unquestioned. Yet you are maturing ln an era when economic and political leaders increasingly are distributed among a 7 �growing number of nations, and at a time when .\merica's leadership is increasingly questioned. You grew up in an age of freer lifestyles. Yet you are maturing in an era marked by confusion and uncertainty over the degree of government involvement in your daily lives. In the words of French philosopher Paul Valery, "The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be." How and indeed whether you today's young adults -- can respond to tomorrow's uncertainties and challenges is not clear. For to be blunt, I see you as part of a generation of which too little has been asked, and too little expected. We have been wrong to tell you, constantly, that you should be grateful for what you get, and yet have not offered you the opportunity to give in return. And we have failed to sufficiently emphasize to you the rock bottom realities of the American social and 8 �economic system, a system in which we all must live, and hopefully prosper. Perhaps Michael Nov ak, in his essay "The American Vision", summarizes those realities the best: "The (American economic and social) system does not guarantee success. It does guarantee opportunity. It multiplies occasions for luck and good fortune. It is an open, porous, highly mobile system. Downward mobility is as characteristic of it as upward mobility .... "In one sense our culture is committed to equality; in another it is committed to inequality. It holds that equal work should receive equal pay. It also holds that superior work should be rewarded with superior pay. to a just wage. It holds that every worker is entitled It also holds that some persons of 9 �rare talent (or rare value t in whatever marketable way) may receive rewards not so much commensurate with their work as with their gift and its desirability.1I What Novak is saying is that America was founded on the principle that performance should be linked with rewards; and that the marketplace should prevail. Now, right here in Michigan t we are experiencing the negative results of our society's move away from a clear understanding and communication of this relationship between social and economic progress in American society -and of the relationship between hard work and rewards based upon performance, to human advancement and progress. Your generation's ability to create a better future for Michigan and all of America will t in my view, not be determined by the elegance of your rhetoric; but by the tangible consequences of your hard work; your understanding of the economic, social, and political framework of this 10 �nation; and on your reconciling old values with new expectations and needs.

We are on the eve of a technological revolution that will find each of you -- as David Rockefeller of Chase Manhattan Bank has noted -- thrown into a totally new world; a world demanding both technical specialization and broad gauged social awareness, and social values. In a span of just a few years ... * Most of you will have computer terminals in your homes. * Many of you will be employed in regional work centers. Some of you will have portable offices. * Our nation will be challenged by growing demands for economic support from third-world, underdeveloped nations. 11 �* You will face complex, difficult decisions regarding allocation and use of critical natural resources -for example, use of water from the Great Lakes. * You will find routine, dangerous, and undesirable work taken over by automation. * And, most of you will likely have to attend school several times -- or continuously -- during your careers to become totally retrained as technologies emerge. "Intellectual obsolescence" will be a hard reality in all phases of life. In one respect, it will almost be as if the university diplomas you receive today are written in "disappearing ink." For their value may lessen, or disappear, if you do not keep the knowledge and skills they represent current and uptodate through an indelible and lifelong commitment to continuing education. 12 �Each of you should be particularly conscious that while we as a nation are committed to equal opportunity, in the course of life special benefit, advantage, or privilege does accrue to some of us. You, as 1981 graduates of Northern Michigan University, are a privileged group -- privileged in several ways. First, you are graduates of a distinguished university which has a special record and tradition of service within our state. As Harold Enarson, president of a great but herewith unidentified university to the southeast of us, has so often and eloquently noted, university graduates must assume a special responsibility for the future of their alma mater. For all of you, that means Northern Michigan University should always be of special importance in your lives. It has shaped you in ways you do not now and may never fully understand. It has tested your intellect and your perseverance, introduced you to the richness of 13 �campus life, and developed potentials you did not know you had. It has helped you develop your job skills, focused your ambitions, and opened your eyes to the world beyond Michigan. It has taught you to cope, and it has helped you to succeed. Never forget -- this University has contributed immeasurably to you and to the health and welfare and prosperity of the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, and the nation. Never forget -- it is the glory of this University that it belongs to everyone and to no one. And, never forget, you must care about its future. All who treasure this University need ' you as strong fresh allies in the cause of quality education. Second, your education has been heavily subsidized by the people of Michigan and the United States. While you have paid a high price in terms of time, energy, and dollars, nonetheless, the education which you have received has required support far beyond the fees you paid. These funds have come from public sources, through tax monies 14 �and private benefactors, including alumni, individuals, foundations, and corporations. In a sense, then, all of us who are the beneficiaries of higher education should impose upon ourselves a lifelong indenture to repay the priviledge bestowed and to insure similar opportunity for those who will follow. V. So much for comments about "Old Values and New Expectations." Well, almost. Perhaps a word of explanation is needed about my speech subtitle: "Santa Claus and Mr. Slurpee versus PacMan." Several days ago, I stopped in our local Seven-Eleven grocery store. Frankly, I am 'slightly addicted to that icy, drink-like concoction known as a Root Beer slurpee. Don't laugh; itls a truly fearsome addiction! As usual, the store featured a crowd of 8 or 10 youngsters surrounding the new PacMan computer game machine. The store rebounded with the sound of the starship battle underway on the t 15 �videoscreen, replete with exploding laser bombs and disintegrating planets; and augmented by loud, real live teenage razzing of the youngster at the game's controls. I asked the store clerk: "You must make quite a bit off that machine. II He responded: "Yeah, especially when the kids are off for the holidays. day in quarters. I! We get about $300 a The clerk then paused, and added: "That's a problem too, though. Parents have to come in and drag their kids home." Yes, as we all know, there are economic tradeoffs -particularly at the Holiday Season; and between old values of family and home, and the siren song of new technology in many forms; and tradeoffs certainly not just for teenagers. Santa Claus and Mr. Slurpee versus PacMan. A superficial problem that is yet symptomatic of all sorts of far reaching social and economic changes and challenges. As university graduates, it will be your responsibility to recognize and �reconcile such small and large contradictions of life, and the more profound problems and choices they often represent. Remember that while all women and men have a birthright of equal opportunity, their individual ability, hard work, and performance must determine their rewards -- and assuredly will determine the future of our society. May good fortune be your fortune . . . I wish you Godspeed. 17• � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby, President W. K. Kellogg Foundation at the Adults Session, National 4-H Club Congress Chicago, Illinois December 2, 1970 I It is a great pleasure to be at National 4-H Club Congress again. I t was 1944 that I first attended, as a 4-H delegate from Michigan in the Soil and Water Conservation Program sponsored by Firestone. It has now been six years since I was last here in a professional role as a member of the state 4-H staff in Michigan. I thank your program committee for making it possible for me to be with you this year. 4-H has been a tremendously important part of my life. I'll not bore you with lengthy reminiscing but my 4-H contacts go back 32 years to my first year as a member of the Peach Grove Rustlers 4-H Club in Kent County, Michigan. visit to a college campus was for 4-H Club Week at Michigan State. My first That visit, coupled with the encouragement of a county agricultural agent, a county home economics agent, and an area 4-H agent, plus the help of scholarships in Soil and Water Conservation (Firestone), and Woodworking (Sears-Roebuck Foundation) projects , resulted in my being the first member of my family to attend college. Later, eight and a half years as State 4-H Leader in Michigan represented a most stimulating and rewarding chapter in my professional life . Now Ruth and I are local 4-H leaders in the Busy Beavers 4·-H Club at Hickory Corners. So your cornmittee has invited a biased, committed individual to consider the topic, "Commitment to 4-H'Louth." Hopefully, however, I can nonetheless make an objec- tive contribution to the deliberations of these adult sessions" Quite candidly there have been times in my professional life when I felt better qualified for an �2 ass ignme nt of thi s s or t . During my day s on the ~ti c h igan 4-H s taff ~ immer sed in 4-H affa irs a nd felt qual ified to dis cu s s the i s sue s. that I am somewhat out of t ou ch a nd only hope that I can g i ve 8 I was de eply Now I s ense ~ e r3p e c t iv e a nd dime ns i on which will b e useful to you . II In this vein I wou.Ld s ha re wi to. you certain impre ssions wh.i.ch have materialized in these t wo days at thi s Congre ss . First, a s would be a ny ob server, I am tremendously impre s s ed with the 4-H member delegate s. They are a great group of teenag ers, a refre shing c ros s s e ct i on of American you t h . You, your extension col League s a t home, l ocal lead e r s, parent s, and fellow 4-H members can be pr oud t o have them a s r epres entat ive s of al l 4-Her s a t thi s Na t i onal Congre s s . Are they truly repre sentative? Yes a nd no. They are the bes t , se l ected tlrr ough a n elaborate sys t em of s i f t i ng and screening over a l ong perlod of time.

In 4-H the mo st s igni f i ca nt gr adi ng de vi ce " i s age a nd Mos t 4-Her s do not s tay around l ong enough t o ever be co ns i der ed f or par - t icipation i n t his Congr es s . di scredit of 4- H. ment. Il This is not to their discredit or nece s sarily t o the But thi s fact must be a conscious part of our pers onal commit- We mus t b e un comfortable that 4- H do es not make a s much differen~ e in the live s of all 4-H memb ers as it doe s in the lives of the se select few. Se co nd , it i s a treat to be with local 4-H leaders ag ai n, t he few here repre se nting more than a half a million volunteer lead ers ac r os s t he country . Qui te cand idl y , in chang ing f rom extension to my current work, I have mi ssed mo st the l oc al lead ers. They are commi t t ed , dedicated, co ns c ientiou s , wonderful pe opl e . All of u s mu st �3 recognize that in the final a nalysis, the qua lity of t he LndLv.ldua.l. member i s de termine d by hi s 4-H l e ad e r. 4-H experience f or any Th i s s imply underscores t he lmp ortance i n your prof es sional role of effort s in recrui t ment , training , motiva t ion, a nd appropr La'te rec ogni tio n fo r y our vo l unteer t ea ch i ng staff . Third, it ' ::; a l ways g rat ifying t o meet ag a i n with Ext ens ion p ers onnel, fr om county, s tate , a nd f e deral pos ition s of re sponsibil ity .

As I vi sit vli t h you I ga i n a s e ns e t hat ma ny t hing s vrhich are s ignif i ca nt and exc i t i ng indeed a r e happ ening in out the count r y . 4-H t hr ough- For your cont i nu i ng and per s i s t ent acc ompl i s hment s and for s uc h i nn ovati ons in add i t ion , I c ompliment you. Fina l l y, a t t hi s Nationa l Congres s, it 's a l way s a spe c i a l pr i v i l ege to meet donor repre sentat ives, who p rov i de such tremendous suppor t for t he 4-H Club p rogram .

Thi s i s , to me , one of the finest examp les of joint effort b y t he pub l i c and private sectors of our society . The kind of donor partic i pation we s e e here can of cour se be rep l icated in each s tate and a t county a nd l oc al c ommunity level s thr oug hout the country . Mo s t donor r epre s entative s he re are from profit-making busine s s e nterpr ises . r epre s ent a non- p r ofit or gani za t i on whic h nonetheless is a produc t of the free I �4 ent. e r-or Lse sys t em a nd i s de pe ndent upon bu.s i ne s s p rof i ts as the source of f or gr a nt - ma ki ng purposes . .i. n c orne As I par t i c i p a t e in this Congr e s s , I s t i ll have the pe rs iste nt co nce rn which has plagued me in the pas t , though I am embarr assed to s ound like a n ol d recording. But I must as k ag ain, "What image of, what understanding of , what app r e c iat i on for ou r private e nterpri s e system do t he de l egat e s to thi s Congr e s s t ake home w-i t h them?

Mawby, President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation at the 21st Annual Conference of National Council on Philanthropy Washington, D.C. December 5, 1975 I It is a privilege indeed for me to be a part of the program of this 21st Conference of the National Council on Philanthropy. I have perso~ally benefitted greatly from participating in the conference sessions this week and I welcome this opportunity of sharing with you some thoughts in the waning moments of our meeting together. Certainly the theme for this conference, "Philanthropy and Government," is both significant and timely. As we ob- serve our nation's Bicentennial, it is appropriate to remind ourselves that voluntary giving--of time, talent, money--is an American phenomenon which characterizes our society. From the days of earliest settlement, we have endorsed and employed a pluralistic approach in meeting societal goals, mobilizing both private and public resources. In these three days together it has been encouraging to hear spokesmen from both the private and public sector reaffirm this historic commitment and endorse efforts to further strengthen the private sector �and enhance the private-public relationship that the best interests of our people may be served. II I have been asked by your Program Committee to comment on "Today's Foundation in Tomorrow's World." To be more pre- cise, I will be limiting my comments to private grant-making foundations. This emphasis is in no way intended to depreciate the importance of any of the others. In fact, there is great tempta- tion, for example, to give particular attention to the some 250 community foundations throughout our country, a group of foundations whose future seems particularly bright. An efficient and effective means of mobilizing private resources to serve local needs, these foundations are serving very useful purposes in their respective communities. It seems safe to predict that community foundations -- for various reasons, including their favored position under current tax law -- will become increasingly important in the philanthropic scene. In addressing our attention to today's private grant-making foundatiotis and the challenges of tomorrow, there is an almost automatic inclination to recite again the unique characteristics of these philanthropic entities; to record once more their contributions in the past and at present; to chide them yet again to be more responsive, creative, innovative, risk-taking, accountable, somehow accommodating to critics of all persuasions 2 �who admonish them for being both too conservative and too activist -- and, in looking to tomorrow, to run off yet another list of the critical issues on the agenda of mankind. To do so with this group, however, would seem to serve little useful purpose. As beneficiaries, stewards and/or students of private foundations, you have a degree of knowledge about them. realize that private foundations You (actually private resources which are voluntarily and irrevocably committed to public benefit) are but one small part of the private voluntary sector, simply a legal mechanism by which the fruits of the free enterprise system can be systematically directed to social benefit through private voluntary initiative. All of us here are con- cerned with the continuing vitality of private philanthropy and recognize that, whether donee or donor, our futures are inextricably entwined. It is to that future which I propose to direct our attention in the most candid and pragmatic terms. III The title of my remarks "Today's Foundation in Tomorrow's World" has a somewhat prophetic quality. In the first place, it is sobering to realize that the only private foundations in tomorrow's world already exist today. Under current tax law, the birth rate of new foundations is virtually zero, the few exceptions being essentially those for which irrevocable instruments had been drawn pre-TRA-69. 3 �F u r t h e r ,t h en um b e r so ff o u n d a t i o n si nt h ef u t u r e-u n l e s st h e r ea r ec h a n g e si nt h el aw-w i l lb es l ow l yd e c l i n i n g , f o r c o u p l e dw i t h t h ez e r ob i r t hra ~ i sa na c c e l e r a t e dd e a t h r a t e .

K. Kellogg Foundation being but one e xample -- started as small foundations which later received substantial assets from the donor and/or his estate. Many of the smaller foundations of today were created with the same intent. However, because of the several dis- incentives of TRA-69, no significant amount of new capital will now flow into these foundations. But the most debilitating provision of the current Code is Section 4942, which requires that private foundations payout for their charitable purposes each year the greater of net income or 6 percent of the market value of their assets. Investment managers know that historically portfolios produce less than 6 percent, actually over the long term somewhere closer to 3.5 or 4 percent. Thus, to meet this excessive payout require- ment, foundation managers must consistently invade their corpus, thus continually eroding away the productive base on which their philanthropic activities depend. This is an unsound practice in the prudent fiscal management of private entities and will progressively impair the effectiveness of all foundations. Let me illustrate the impact of the present payout requirement using the foundation with which I am associated . From its inception in 1935 through its 1976 fiscal year, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation Trust will have made actual distribution of $29 6 million for charitable purposes. If the distribution requirements of TRA-69 had been in effect during those 42 years 5 �a n dh a dt h eT r u s tb e e nr e q u i r e dt oa n n u a l l yd i s t r i b u t et h e h i g h e ro fi n c om eo r6 p e r c e n to ft h em a r k e tv a l u eo fi t s a s s e t s ,t h ed i s t r i b u t i o no v e rt h ep e r i o dw o u l dh a v et o t a l e d $316 m i l l i o n , o ra ni n c r e a s eo fo n l y $20 m i l l i o n . t om e e t t h i sm a n d a t o r y p a y o u tr e q u i r em e n t ,t h e H ow e v e r , r~s w o u l d h a v eh a dt os e l lK e l l o g gs t o c kh a v i n ga m a r k e t v a l u et o d a y o f $440 m i l l i o n .

To its great credit, the Council on Foundations appreciates this diversity among foundations and in its public statements and testimony conscientiously reflects the broad range of private foundation interests. One such excellent example is the report which the Council submitted to the Filer Commission for use in their deliberations. IV While this assessment of today's foundation in tomorrow's world may have a gloomy complexion, it is sharply brightened by two realizations: First, the agenda of pressing human issues deserving the best efforts of both private and public resources is long and urgent. I n recent years, as government has grown ever larger and more encompassing at all levels, some have seen the public tax-supported sector as the ultimate architect and engineer in all programs of social purpose. This contrasts with the tested tradition of the American experience -- the mutually beneficial relationships of public and private enterprise in serving the best interests of our nation and its people. But there is now a growing awareness among our citizens that burgeoning governmental programs and bureaucracies, ever greater outpourings of governmental funds are not fulfilling our nation's goals. Simultaneously in the voluntary sector, programs and professionals are becoming more sophisticated, 8 �responding in more adequate ways to the complex problems of society. The varied talents of volunteers are being effectively utilized in more sensitive and valuable services which meet human needs. Often working in concert, public and private efforts--in health care, education, libraries, services for the elderly and the handicapped, youth-serving organizations, church-related activities, special needs of minorities, cultural arts--are better meeting human needs than could either alone. Voluntary giving -- of time, talent, money -- will continue to be an important ingredient in the betterment of the human condition, enhancing recipient and giver alike. Common sense tells us that the future will be even more demanding of individuals and institutions than the past. In the spirit of this conference, the best of both the private and the public will be required. Hopefully private initiative and voluntary effort will be permitted and encouraged to play a major and appropriate role in the future as in the past. Second, though certain provisions of TRA-69 are proving counter-productive to the best interests of society by impacting negatively on philanthropy, the law can be modified. Experience over the past six years provides a basis for careful review and revision through the Congressional process. Unhappily, to date in the crowded agenda of priorities confronting Congress, the subject of tax reform has received scant attention. And when tax matters are addressed, the 9 �concerns of philanthropy have not ranked high. Hopefully, concerted effort by such as the group assembled here will result in further consideration of these matters by Congress. I would emphasize that my concern rests not alone with private foundations, but with all policy issues and laws which bear on the private nonprofit sector. For example, we must be vigilant that further damage is not done through changes which could negatively affect charitable giving by altering the charitable deduction or discouraging gifts of appreciated assets. One hoped-for objective of the Commission on Private Philanthropy and Public Needs is to stimulate a systematic rethinking by the American people of the role of the private nonprofit sector. The analyses and recommendations of the Commission provide useful and stimulating insight and can serve as the basis for reappraisal, not only at the national level but at the grass roots. assembled 1S The challenge to the group here to help this happen across the land. Let's not miss this opportunity! In summary, if private foundations are to be an important part of tomorrow's world, serious thought should be given to the following: 1. The provisions of TRA-69 which impact negatively and discriminate against private foundations should be modified. As recommended by the Council on Foundations in their report to the Fi.ler Commission, there should be a reduction of the 4 % 10 �excise tax, which diverts money from donees; an adjustment of the required annual payout; removal of special limitations on gifts to foundations; adjustments in certain divestiture requirements; and an easing of certain program restrictions. 2. Diversity among private foundations should be pre- served and encouraged. Fortunately, all do not have the same purposes, areas of interest, style of operation, or sphere of activity. Such variety, with responsible stewardship by conscientious trustees and managers and with appropriate supervision in the public interest, serves donees and society as well. Certainly private foundations must be responsive to the issues and needs identified in the Donee Group report to the Filer Commission and presented in the panel on Wednesday, but these areas of attention should not be exclusive. Other eligible donee groups, described by some as traditional -- the United Way, the Boy Scouts, 4-H, the symphony, hospitals and homes for the elderly, colleges and universities, both public and private should not be denied continuing private sustenance. 3. Constraints and regulation, whether by governmental edict or self-imposed by the field, should be kept to a minimum. Again assuming responsible stewardship and appropriate supervision, private foundations should not be further burdened with stifling regulations, bureaucratic procedures, unending caveats. 4. Finally, voluntary giving whether of time or talent or money and by whatever means -- is a fragile human action, 11 �subject to careful nurturing but easily turned off. The person of means who commits resources to a private foundation does so voluntarily, irrevocably and completely -- 100 percent, beyond any rate of taxation. Further, those funds can then be ex- pended only in accordance with the tax law, under IRS supervision, and only for purposes and to organizations and institutions designated by Congress as being educational, charitable and in the public interest. To go far beyond this in prescribing issues to be addressed, clientele to be served, procedures and policies will be counter to the interests of a vital private sector. Centralized dictation will serve only to further deplete the philanthropic reservoir. v The resources of private foundations are small in relation to need. But utilized wisely, they playa distinctive role, often critical and catalytic, in providing for experimentation, re-direction, exploration, service .... and thereby contribute to betterment of the human condition. In concert with the public sector, private initiative is vital to further progress in fulfillment of the American dream. Private foundations, once an apparently secure part of philanthropy, are now an endangered species. If they are to be a vital part of private effort in the future as in the past, they must have the understanding, support, and help of others who feel as do we that private voluntary effort is important. Ours must be a reaffirmation of the individual and the voluntary, that the greatest number may benefit and the highest goals be served. 12 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The other evening my daughte r came home from fifth grade wi th a new story , which she proceeded to repeat for our guest s t hat evening . You can appreciate the appr ehe ns i on of Mom and Dad on t hi s f i rst hear ing of a new story . I t seems that t he main character of t h e s tory rushed up to a person on the street and greeted him , lIWhy , he l lo, I rving. changed . It 's so good t o see yo u again- -but my , ho w you 've I recal l that yo u were t all a nd sl ender, and now you seem shorter and r at.her stout.

I suspect that the Kentucky Cooperative Extens ion Ser vi ce has not yet so change d that onew-ould not r e c ogni ze it ~ but no one f amiliar "lith Extension and i ts hi s t or y can fail to appreciate t he s ignificance and the implications of the new pat te r n you a re in the p roc ess of i mp l eme nt i ng. I say "Ln proc e s s" advisedly , for 'i'mile the lines have be en drawn and the mimeograph ope rated , you know b et te r than I that t he new pattern is not yet wrought . Schne ider has observed, you are now i n t he most difficult stage .

The important point I note as an out side obser ver i s not the point of progress at this moment in t ime , b ut rather the dire ct i on or course upon �- 5 whic h yo u have embarked with thoughtful cons i der at i on . The enc ouraging init i al re spons e of al l ,{ho have a vested i ntere st r efle cts the ground work you have l aid an d mnst be gra ti f ying.

I f thi s be true, t he ult imate test then of the new pattern of oper a t i on will be gauged by its s ucce s s in a cca npli shing thi s purpos e .

In one state, for example, where 93,000 farmers were reported in the 1965 census of agriculture, the projection is that only 40,000 will be farming in 1980. I am sure you have similar projections for Kentucky. A pertinent question then for those of us concerned with agricultural education is "Hho':Till be the 40,000 farmers actually farming fourteen years hence? Is there any way in whi ch they can be identified now so that educational programs can be designed whi ch will be of maximum benefit to them?" Conversely, of course, we must be concerned educationally with those now farming or who have intentions to farm who will not be in this 40,000 group a decade and a half from now. But to the point of the "40,000 farmers," we do knoH certain things. For example, it s eems fair to assume that most of the 40,000 are already farming and will simply be fourteen years older and fourteen years more experi enced in 1980. The significant point from our standpoint is Wha t II educational influences will be reflected in their farming operations and ot he r aspects of their lives?" Beyond this, we know that of the members of this 1980 group, those not now farming are likely to be sons of farmers "rho are farming at present. This suggests a doub Le-sbar-r-eLed concern educationally. First, studies consistently indicate that farm parents tend to attach less importance to education for their youngsters than do non-farm parents. This seems to be particularly true if the farm sons have intentions to farm. Secondly, studies again consistently show that boys who plan to farm feel that education beyond high school is relatively unimportant and have lower educational aspirations than do farm boys with other occupational plans. an obvious challenge.

Exci t i ng changes in educational opp ortunities, pr oject des i gn , programs and a ctivities are be i ng initiated. An amb i t i ou s effort i s b eing made to generate incre a s ed support nat i onally to dramat ical ly expand t he 4-H program. As one pers onal ly a nd p r ofessional ly committ ed and gr a t e f ul to 4-H, I regard t his as highl y desirab l e and I s upport it f ull y , but this does leave unanswered the quest i on of t he univer sity's total r ole in youth development. Nowhere in enab l ing legislati on for Extension, for exampl e , do I find the p r ono uncement, "Thou shalt conduct a 4- H Program, with pr oj e cts , report forms, blue ribbons, a nd trip s." Rather the conce r-n vra s a nd should be for e du cational opp ortunitie s t o enhance the ve llbe i ng of young pe opl e . I n no other phase of Extension' s educat i onal effort ha s it been determined that in order to r e ceive the educat ional benefi t s of t he uni ve rs i ty, t he cli ent mus t joi n a gr oup , l earn a pl edge, s i ng a s ong, a t tend a mee t ing , and compl ete a rep or t. Only i n t he youth phase of Extension' s educati onal a ctivities have such condit ions been pres cr ibed . I woul.d reiterat e t hat I do not wi sh by inference or i n fac t to discredit at al l the 4-II Club program as it i s or as it wi l l be . The r e is gr eater j ust i f i cat i on t oday f or a 4-H type p rogram t ha n ever befor e . My i nt ent ion rather i s to emphasiz e t hat ther e are "more I'ray s than one to skin a cat" and t ha t there are more ways t han the complex organi zat i onal pat t er n of 4-H for t he kn owledge resour ce s of the univer sit y t o be benefi cial t o young people.
