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 .

THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE INCOME SUPPORT, HEALTH CARE, PROTECTION FROM ABUSE, NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE, EARLY CIDLDHOOD EDUCATION, AND CIDLD CARE. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE PROGRAMS HAVE ALMOST UNIVERSALLY BEEN BASED ON THE "DEFICIT" APPROACH, THAT IS, AN APPROACH WHERE POVERTY AND PATHOLOGY LARGELY DETERMINE WIDCH FAMILIES RECEIVE ASSISTANCE. THESE OLD WAYS OF PROVIDING SERVICES AND SUPPORTS .MUST BE REASSESSED, AND BROAD, INTEGRATED APPROACHES MUST BE FOUND TO ENSURE THAT EVERY FAMILY WITH YOUNG CIDLDREN IS LINKED TO A STRONG COMMUNITY NETWORK OF CARE, AND OTHER FAMILY SUPPORTS. A MAJOR REVAMPING OF THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS NEEDED - BECAUSE ALL CIDLDREN AND FAMILIES NEED BASIC CORE SUPPORT. 10/06/94 ccspeech.rgm\pI4 �TIDRD, THERE MUST BE QUALITY CIDLD CARE + :::::0- AVAILABLE AND WE MUST APPLY WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT QUALITY.

WE KNOW THAT A 10 YEAR OLD TAKING CARE OF IDS 2 YEAR OLD SISTER - LOVES IDS SISTER - BUT HE IS NOT TRAINED TO, HELP HER LEARN TO INTERPRET HER SURROUNDING WORLD, PROVIDE HER THE SAFETY OF EXPLORATION AND T~ COMFORT OF - PREDICTABILITY, THEREFORE, THE TRAINING OF PROVIDERS IS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT FOR PROVIDING APPROPRIATE CARE.

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.

You really have changed . 1I The second man responde d, 1I 0h , but mY name i sn' t Er- ving l " To which t he fir s t man r eplied, lITtJell, I'll b e--y ou even changed yo ur name ." 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 .

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 .

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 .

KELLOGG FOUNDATION * Welcome to Battle Creek and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation * We are delighted that you are willing and see the value of your participation in this fund raising school program. * The W. K. Kellogg Foundation is proud to be a supporter of the Fund Raising School and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University/Purdue University in Indianapolis. Since we have played a role in helping establish this Center of Excellence, we felt it only appropriate that we help share their experience and expertise with some of our other grantees who we feel could benefit from it. 1 �* Keeping with Mr. Kellogg's philosophy of "helping people help themselves," we feel that this investment of providing you the opportunity to participate in the Fund Raising School could ultimately be the most important contribution we give you. * If you believe the research, over the next 20 years there will be an estimated $8 to $10 tr'illion which will be transferred 'from one generation to the next. And those organizations and institutions that have the capacity and the ability to capture some of these resources to continue their programs will be the ones who survive. * We have encouraged that the participants at these fund raising schools, be the CEO/executive director of your organization, along with a trustee. Two individuals who should see it as a major responsibility of theirs to help raise 2 �the resources necessary for you to continue your day to day operations and your programming. * But let me also say, that while money is important, we have to keep in mind that resources are limited and money isn't always the answer. * As a university trustee, I often get frustrated when I see that the School of Education does not communicate with the School of Social Work, who does not communicate with the School of Medicine. All three Schools who playa critical role when it comes ' to the needs of bringing up a healthy, productive human being in today's society. * While we have you in Battle Creek for two days teaching you the mechanics of fund raising, I hope you will also take this time to visit with other organizations from your community who are represented here and talk about ways that you might be able to collaborate to make your 3 �community a better place in which to be born and which to grow up. * Take advantage of this time away from ringing phones and clients walking through your door, to ask yourself, "Why do we exist?" and are there better more efficient ways to fulfill our mission by either working closer with or even becoming a part of another organization in your community who is doing similar programming. * This Kellogg Youth Initiatives Program, which you are a part of, is the most comprehensive programming initiative this Foundation has done in its 64-year history. While the Kellogg Foundation has made a commitment to have a presence and to be involved in your community for 20 years, we want to be assured that the quality of life for young people in your three communities is better than any place in the world, but we want that high quality of life to 4 �continue long after the Kellogg Foundation has left, and we can only do that by helping you build your capacity to assure that this type of quality programming can continue for many years to come. * Again, let me thank you for taking two days of your busy schedules to come to Battle Creek for this training, and we do hope you will find it beneficial. Russ, Somewhere in your comments you may want to mention that one of the greatest disservices any foundation can do to any organization is to give them too much money. And, that we feel that by making this investment in helping them build their capacity through this fund raising training, will ultimately be more beneficial to them than if we were to give them a grant for an additional $100,000 and just walk away. 5 �KYIP FUND RAISING SCHOOL SPEECH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1994 6:30 p.m. W.K.

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 - .. .. ..

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.

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.

Some of you are administrators and faculty from colleges of agriculture, some of you are full-time farmers and agribusinessmen, and some of you are staff or volunteer leaders of state farm organizations. You have been invited here b ecause state agricultural organizations and educational institutions have identifi ed you as key individuals, capable of examining and analyzing the compatibility of public affairs leadership programs, which you will learn more abo ut during the next day-anda-half, and the specific rural leadership development needs of your own state and your own communities. The Kellogg Foundation is pleased to join with Washington State University in co-sponsoring this Conference. We do so believing that rural leadership development continues to be a pressing problem in our nation and that the programs which are a focus of this Conference provide flexible alternatives for meeting �3 your state and community rural leadership needs. In almost all cases, the programs have undergone the test of time, institutional and community support, and in the aggregate, probably the most extensive and thorough evaluation ever carried out to measure the impact and value of a series of Kellogg Foundation supported projects. We could not be any more enthusiastic about the programs, your being here with us, or about the potential of this Conference. II. Let me first answer two questions which were raised by several of you after receipt of the Conference invitation: (1) What is the Kellogg Foundation, and (2) how did it get involved in support of rural leadership development programs? The Kellogg Foundation was established by breakfast cereal pioneer W. K. Kellogg �4 in 1930, and has supported pilot projects aimed at the application of existing knowledge to the problems of people, rather than research ~ se. The Foundation's three areas of programming are agriculture, education and health. During the past 50 years, the Kellogg Foundation has made grants of more than $530 million on four continents. Such grants include approximately $60 million for programs in agriculture. The Foundation currently has approximately 65 active projects 1n agriculture, and almost all of those projects deal with problems and potential solutions in the areas of increasing world food supply and improving the quality of rural life. Ours was the first -- and for many years the only -- major private foundation concerned with problems of domestic agriculture and rural development. The genesis of the Foundation's efforts in rural leadership development can be found in its support of an intensive eight-week course for post high school rural youth, �5 which was part of the Foundation's Michigan Community Health Project in the 1930s. The Michigan Commuility Health Project demonstrated in seven Michigan counties that the family's health, educational opportunities, and general standard of living could be enhanced through public health services, childhood medical screening and care, together with an extensive program of school improvement, continuing education programs for community leaders, expanded library services and general community development. In preparing these remarks, I went back through the Foundation's files to refamiliarize myself with its more recent i nv o l v e me n t in rural development issues, and with the people and the activities which led up to the Foundation's support of the first rural leadership program through Michigan State University in the mid-1960s. It was a rather pleasant process of recollecting, since prior to 1965, I served as a member of the faculty of the College of Agriculture at Michigan State University �6 with particular responsibilities in the Cooperative Extension Service. What impressed me ln going through the files was that the issues and needs which led to the MSU rural leadership development project are every bit as prevalent and crucial today as they were 25 or 30 years ago. I recall, for example, a Saturday morning meeting in 1958 at Michigan State. The meeting was called by Paul Miller, who was then Director of the MSU Cooperative Extension Service and who later became President of West Virginia University and the Rochester Institute of Technology. I was a relatively "green" 30-year-old Assistant Director of Cooperative Extension. On that Saturday morning, Miller and his staff were struggling over budgetary concerns and MSU's efforts to get funding for agricultural research and Cooperative Extension. We expended considerable effort analyzing the "power" shifts which had occurred within the Michigan Legislature �7 and the seeming dichotomy of what were the major sources of support within the Legislature for MSU agricultural research and Cooperative Extension programs. It was obvious that both MSU areas were receiving major backing from urban legislators. Such support reflected labor's growing influence ln the State Capitol, and its goals of maintaining cheap food policies. Their primary goal was to keep food inexpensive for urban residents by legislative support of agricultural research and Cooperative Extension efforts aimed at expanded agricultural technology and productivity. During the Saturday meeting, we were perplexed to note that it was the more conservative, rural legislators who were often voting against agricultural research and Cooperative Extension programs, simply as their usual response to any activity which might increase the state budget and therefore taxes. It was during this period in the mid-1950s that �8 the Michigan Legislature's "farm block" all but disappeared, in terms of a cohesive group that exerted majority control over state policy and budget. The times reflected a shift in population and control of the Legislature to Detroit and other population centers. The same occurence was happening in states throughout the nation. During the MSU meeting, we asked ourselves how might it be possible to develop what we called, at that time, "agricultural statesmen." By that we meant individuals who first of all had made the technological revolution ln agriculture a reality. They were individuals who understood, adopted and were using up-to-date agricultural and management practices for their farm operations. Secondly, they were individuals who would be receptive to an educational experience aimed at relating the U.S. technological revolution to the political and social changes underway in society. These "agricultural statesmen" would be individuals who could begin to see the interdependent nature of our ', �9 highly urban industrialized economy and how it dir ectly affects agriculture. For what we found to be a growing problem ln the 1950s was that activities and events outside the farm gate were poorly understood by farm people and farm leaders. The result was -- for farm people -- suspicion, frustration, and sometimes alienation from other segments of society. Out of these concerns, Michigan State gave a few of us the assignment to develop a rural leadership program which would have two primary objectives. The program would first give its farmer-participants a better understanding of the economic, political and social framework of society. And second, by the end of the program, participants were to be capable of using this framework to analyze and deal with the complex problems facing agriculture and rural communities. As we conceived it, the rural leadership program would focus on a specific series of educational and �10 l e a d e r s h i pe x p o s u r e ss p a n n i n ga t h r e e y e a rp e r i o d , on a p a r t t im eb a s i s ,f o rc l a s s e so fa p p r o x im a t e l y 30 f a rm e r s e a c h .

T h a tw a s f a l lo f �11 1964, and I was asked to join the Kellogg Foundation staff as a program director in agriculture the follo\ving January. The first proposal I sent to the Foundation's Board of Trustees for funding approval was -- you guessed it -- the Michigan State rural lead ership proposal. subtitled. the Kellogg Farmers Study Program. All of which just goes to prove, once again. that "if you can't lick them ... join them!" III. Since then, over 800 individuals have partic ipated in the Michigan and four other statewide rur al leadership education programs assisted by the Foundation. Participants between the ages of 20 and 45 are chosen in part for their demonstrated interest in public affairs. They take part in educational programs which include "live-in" workshops and travel seminars. The workshops. staffed by faculty members from participating universities and �12 other appropriate resources, last from three to five days, four to six times a year. The travel seminars are conducted at state, national, and for many groups, international levels. Two years partic ipation became the pattern after early experimentation with three year programs. In each program, the workshops and travel seminars are aimed at providing participants with an understanding of the social, economic, cultural and political dimensions of public issues and needs. Major public problems examined and analyzed includ e poverty, world food supply, economic policies, and the problems of rural areas. Specific workshops and seminars are designed to develop skills and communications, problemsolving, and how participants can learn to work within political systems. I'll not go into greater detail here describing the Michigan rural leadershlp development program or those which followed in California, Montana, Pennsylvania, �13 and here in Washington. All of these programs have their own particular stamp of individuality and mirror differing state institutions, organizations, rural problems and opportunities. Each has reflected a refinement of earlier programs and generally a trend away from single-institution funding toward broad-based financial support involving a variety of funding sources including the agricultural sector itself. You will have an opportunity later this afternoon to learn about these programs in detail; to talk with their leaders and the farmers and agribusinessmen who have been involved; and then tomorrow to move out into the field to discuss the leadership programs in settings where participants live, work, study, and carry out their agricultural and leadership responsibilities. What I think you will find this afternoon, and reinforced tomorrow, is that these programs have had an exciting, stimulating and broad-gauged impact on the lives of �14 t h e i rp a r t i c i p a n t sa n do nt h ec omm u n i t i e sa n dt h e s t a t e si nw h i c h t h er u r a ll e a d e r s h i p r r ~ g r a d u a t e s l i v ea n df a rm .

You will find individuals like Montana's Joyce Zacek, a housewife and mother whose experiences in the Montana program expanded her professional and personal horizons so much that she became editor of the Montana Business Quarterly, president of the Staff Senate at the University of Montana, and a board member of the Mazula County United Way. The anecdotal evidence of the rural leadership programs' success and impact is overwhelming. What you will also find are individuals making comments like these Michigan program graduates: • "The Kellogg program was the greatest experience possible. It opened up so many opportunities at an earlier age than might otherwise have happened." �16 • ItMy community has accepted me as a responsible leader and entrusted me with much more than I would have imagined five years earlier. gratifying feeling. • It was a 1t "1 am no longer a passive spectator but an active participant. It • ItI have much more to offer than I re3lized. I feel I am more outgoing and giving now and am more willing to get involved rather than sitting back and watching." • "A lot of people who have participated in the program have the potential to lead. What they gained through their association with the program was self confidence to speak up; self confidence to stand up." �17 These types of subjective evaluation were, and certainly are, important. Yet, in the hallways of academe and state legislatures; in the crunch of competing demands for limited institutional, governmental and philanthropic financial support; there is always a concern for more quantifiable, scholarly and research-based evaluations of new programs. have such concerns. We recognize that you So, obviously, does the Kellogg Foundation in determining the impact of its grantmaking. We have also considered such an in-depth evaluation critical to possible expansion of the rural leadership development program approach. The Foundation wanted a benchmark for evaluating the merit of new proposals submitted for adapting the rural leadership development program strategy to other local and state needs. And, certainly, there was an equally apparent need to document both the successes and shortcomings of the pilot programs before sponsoring a conference, such as this one, which �18 would expend your time and resources, and those of Washington State University and the Kellogg Foundation. You will learn more about Bob Howell's comprehensive evaluation of the rural leadership development programs later in the Conference. Let me just say that the evaluation provides strong evidence to substantiate the subjective, anecdotal responses of program graduates. It reveals that graduates of these intensive public affairs leadership development programs become more involved in leadership roles related to providing public services, and they also become more involved in collective efforts concerned with economic affairs and are more effective leaders in local community development efforts. �19 IV. Certainly, this audience needs no litany of laments on why America today -- more than ever -- so desperately needs such rural leaders or "agricultural statesmen." We have moved from an agrarian to an urbanized society. Of even more severe consequence is the continued maldistribution accompanying agricultural technology. Generally, rural areas continue to face declining income bases, which make it difficult -- even impossible -to maintain crucial health services, educational and recreational services, and the types of general social services most Americans take for granted. Today, we see conflicting demands being placed upon our rural communities. In some cases, rural areas are experiencing new levels of population and general economic growth generated by availability of natural resources for energy exploitation, by the decentralization of industry, �20 or by the desire of people to live away from the urban milieu. With the technological advance of agriculture, there has been a specialization and fr agmentation -- in the fabric of agricultural research, in the industry of farming, in the maze of farm organizations and institutions which serve agriculture. In all of this, there is a central need for rur21 leadership. In 1974, on the eve of Richard Nixon's resignation from the Presidency, Time Magazine published a 38-page special section on leadership. The magazine observed that, and I quote: "In the U.S. and round the world, there is a sense of dimished vision, of global problems that are overwhelming the capacity of leaders." �2 1 T h e r ea r eo b v i o u s l y mo r e a u t h o r i t a t i v eand s c h o l a r l y s o c i a lo b s e r v e r st h a nT im eM a g a z i n e .

More and more frequently, we need to educate and enlighten rural citizens; to give them as "agricultural statesmen" the ability to carefully weigh and balance a complex array of issue s and judgments in terms of overall social benefit. That leadership need, and the conflicting rural demands I mentioned regarding natural resources and energy exploitation, were brought home very vividly to me during a conversation with some of you less than two months ago at a rural development workshop in Pullman, Washington. Workshop participants were talking about the energy crisis and its great impact on Eastern Washington. Specifically, Washington Governor Dixie Lee Ray has �23 proposed that a great land area be set aside as a reservation in Eastern Washington for the development of 18 to 22 nuclear power generators. If that happens, it will of course cause a great influx (or outmigration) of population and will be received with mixed reaction by whatever part of the state is selected for such a development. The prospect and construction of one or more nuclear generators will have similar impact on the local communities affected. The net is that most of Eastern Washington probably will experience significant change. During the workshop ' i n Pullman, I asked participants several questions relating to the realities of community and regional development as reflected ln past and potential plans for energy development. For example, the Grand Coulee Dam is in Eastern Washington and has made a tremendous impact there as well as serving as a power source for the West Coast. I asked the question, "If the Grand Coulee Dam had not yet been built, should �24 • it be built, and could it be built"? The concensus seemed to be that yes, it should be built -- the ben efits to society have far exceeded the various negatives. But, while it should be bu ilt, it could not be built for a whole variety of reasons -- legal constraints, environmental considerations, activist groups. The real dilemma is that there are not enough trained rural leaders capable of analyzing such major, multifaceted, and often highly emotional issues as nuclear or hydroelectric power in terms of economic and social needs and priorities of their local communities, state, the agricultural sector, and our nation as a whole. We need rural leaders who are not frightened by the complexity and interrelatedness of rural problems and opportunities; and rural leaders who can work effectively with their neighbors and with people of varying educational, economic and political backgrounds �25 and persuasions. I am reminded of a stateQent by John Gardner, past U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, and more recently identified with Common Cause and the Independent Sector. Gardner said the problem is that our country is caught in a savage cross fire between uncritical lovers and unloving critics. You have to ponder that statement for a moment, but I think he was saying that at one extreme we have the so-called uncritical lovers --the people who are so enamored of, so enthusiastic about our present institutions and the way they work, they aren't willing to tolerate any change ln the status quo. At the other extreme, we have the unloving critics -- the malcontents and acti.vists who are totally disenchanted with our present system and will do everything they can to tear it down without making any constructive recommendations. What we need to develop are rural leaders who are critical lovers or loving critics -- individuals who have a deep apprecia- �26 tion and respect for values that we have inherited, and a willingness to try to make changes to accommodate the needs of the '80s and the '90s. v. The provision of expanded opportunities to develop such leadership skills) and such "loving cri tics, '1 is at the very heart of the pilot rural leadership development programs funded by the Kellogg Foundation during the past 15 years. Such opportunities are more needed today than they were in the "payless paydays" of the late 1950's and that early Saturday morning meeting of Cooperative Extension people at Michigan State University. The resolution of rural development issues within your individual states and communities will go nowhere without popular understanding and participation. The challenge is to make it possible for people to take the �27 lead 1n handling the local and state-based process of rural development. Forty years ago, M. L. Wilson 1n an article published in the Yearbook of Agriculture clearly pointed out the essential framework in which even today's rural leadership must operate. He said: "Reform and agriculture must grow from the ground up and be built upon the solid rock of democratic opinion . It must answer the desires of farm people and they must determine its form. Its character must be shaped out of the soil of this country; and agricultural leadership can do no better th an to provide devices whereby the rank and file may set their local problems into a national perspective, help to �28 a r t i c u l a t et h eo p i n i o n st h a ta r e fo rm e do n t h i sb a s i s ,a n df i n a l l y ,a s s i s ti nt u r n i n g i d e a si n t oa c t i o n .

Mawby, President W. K. Kellogg Foundation November 10, 1980 Rural Leadership Development Conference Spokane, Washington 1. I am delighted to be with you today. In some respects, this is a family gathering, with individuals who have been active in the creation of Foundationsupported rural leadership development programs, and who have actually participated as "students" in these programs. And from my days in Cooperative Extension, I see a lot of other familiar faces in the audience. As a group, you represent a rather remarkable gathering, and mixture, of more than 260 rural leaders from 47 states, Canada, Guam and the Virgin Islands, and more than 90 different colleges and universities. I use the adjective "remarkable" because it is infrequ ent to find this kind of g r o u p �2 gathered t o g e t h e r i n t h e same room to consider c ommo n problems or s o l u t i o n s . Some o f you are admi nistrator s and faculty from college s of agriculture, some of you a r e full-time f a r me r s and agribusine ssmen, and some o f you are staf f or volunteer leaders of st a te fa rm organization s. You have been invited h ere becau s e sta te agri cultural organizations and educationa l institutions hav e identi fied you a s key i n d i v i d u a l s , capable of examining and analyzing t h e compatibility of public affairs leadership programs, which yo u will learn mor e about during the n ext day-anda-half, and the specifi c rural leadersh i p development needs of your own state and your own communities. The Kello gg Found a tion is p l e a s e d t o join with Washington St ate University in co-s ponsor ing this Conference. We do so believing t h a t rural le a d e r sh i p developmen t continues to be a pressing probl em in our nation and that the progr ams wh ich a r e a f o c u s o f thi s Conference provide f l e x i b l e a l t e r n a t i v es f o r meeting �3 your sta t e and community rural leadership need s. In almost all c a s e s , the programs have undergone t h e t e s t of t i me , institutional and community s u p p o r t , and in t he aggregate, probably the most e xt e n siv e and thorough evaluation ever carried out to measure the impact and va lue of a ser i es of Ke llogg Fo u n d a t i o n support ed projects. We cou ld not b e any more enthusiast ic about the programs, your being h ere with us, or about t he potential of thi s Confe rence. II. Let me fir s t answer two que stions which were r a i s e d by s e v e r a l o f you a fter receipt of t h e Conference inv itation: ( 1 ) What i s t h e Kellogg Founda t ion, and (2) how did it get invo lv ed in support of rural l eadership d evelopment programs? Th e Kellogg Founda tion was established by b r e a kf ast cerea l pioneer W. K. Kellogg �4 in 1930, and has supported pilot projects aimed a t the application of existing knowledge t o t h e problems o f people, rather t h a n research per s e . Th e Foundation's three area s of programming a re a g ri c u l t u r e , education and health. During t h e pas t 50 years, the Kello gg Founda tion has made gran ts of more than $ 530 million on four con t inents. Such gran ts i n c l u d e approximat ely $60 million f o r programs in agriculture . The Fou n d a t i o n curren tly ha s approximat ely 65 active projects in agriculture, and almost all of t h ose proj ects deal wi th probl ems and potentia l solu tions in t h e a rea s of increasing world f oo d supply and improving the qua lity of rura l life. Ours was t he fir st -- and for many years t h e only -- majo r priva te founda tion conc erned with problems of dome stic agricul ture and rural developmen t. The g e ne s i s of t h e Founda tion' s ef forts in rural leadership d ev elopmen t can be found in its support of an in tensiv e eigh t-week c o u rs e for post h igh schoo l rura l youth, �5 which was part of the Founda tion's Michigan Community Health Proj e c t in t h e 1930s. The Michigan Community Heal th Project demonstrated in s ev e n Michigan coun ties that t h e famil y' s h eal th, e d u c a t i o n a l opportuni ti e s, a n d general s t a n d a r d of living could b e enhanced through public he alth services, childhood medical screening and care, toge ther with an e xt e ns i v e program of schoo l improvement, con tinuing education programs fo r community lead e rs, expanded library se rvic es and gen eral community development. In p r ep a r i n g these remarks, I wen t back t h r o u gh the Foundation' s f i l e s t o refamiliarize mys elf with its more rec ent involvement in rural deve lopmen t issue s, and with the peopl e and the acti vities wh ich l e d up t o th e Foundation's support o f t h e fir s t rural leadership prog ram through Mich igan State Univ ersi ty in t h e mi d - 1 9 6 0 s . I t was a rather pl easant process of recoll e c ting, since prior to 1965, I served as a member of the faculty of the Coll ege o f Agricultur e at Michigan S t a t e Universi t y �6 with parti cular respon sib il i ties in th e Coop era tive Exten sion Servic e . Wh at impressed me in go ing t h r o u g h the fi l e s wa s that t h e issues and needs whi ch l ed t o the MSU rura l l e a d e rs h i p developmen t projec t are e very b it a s prevalen t and cru c i a l t oday a s they were 2 5 o r 30 year s ago. I recall , f o r ex amp le , a Sa tu rday morn ing meeting i n 1 958 a t Michigan State. Th e mee t ing was c al l e d by Paul Mi l l e r , who was th e n Direc tor of the MS U Cooperat i ve Ex tension Servic e and who late r bec ame Pre side n t o f West Virginia Un i v e rs i t y and t h e Roche st e r I ns t i t ut e o f Tec h n o l o gy . I was a rela tively " gre en" 30-yea r-old Assistan t Di recto r of Coopera t ive Ex ten s i on. On t h a t Sa turday morn ing, Mi ller and his s ta ff wer e st r u g g l i n g over budg e tary concern s and MSU' s e ff or t s t o g e t f u n d ing for agr icu ltural res ea rch and Co op e ra tive Ex ten sion.

I t was obviou s t h a t both MSU are a s were receiving ma j o r backing f r om u r b an l e g is l ator s . Such support reflect ed labor's g r owi n g i nfluenc e i n the Stat e Capi to l , and its goals o f maint ai ning ch eap food p o l i ci e s .

During t h e Saturday mee ting, we we re pe rplexe d to note tha t i t wa s t h e more conserv a tive, rur a l le gi s l a to rs wh o we re o ft e n v o tin g agains t a g r icu ltura l r e search and Coop era t i v e Ex t e n s i on programs, s i mp l y as t h ei r u sual r esponse to any a c t ivi t y whi c h migh t increa s e t h e s t a t e budget and th e refo r e t ax e s . It was d uring t h i s p eri o d in t h e mi d- 1 9 5 0s t h a t �8 the Michigan Legislature's "farm block" all bu t di sappeared , in t e r ms of a cohesive group that exerted majority control over stat e policy and budget . The times re flected a shi ft in population and control of t h e Le gi s l atu r e to Detroit and othe r popul ation centers. The same occurenc e was happening in s t a t e s throughout the nation. During the MSU meeting , we asked our selves how might it b e possibl e to develop what we called, at that t i me , " a g r i c u l t u r a l s t a t e s me n . " By t h a t we meant individual s who f i r s t of al l had made t h e t e c h n o l o g i c a l revolution in agricul ture a rea l ity. They were ind ividual s who understood, adopted and were using up-to-date agricultura l and managemen t pract ices for their f a r m opera t ions. Secondly, they were individuals who would be receptive t o an educational experience aimed a t re la ting the u.S. te c h n o l o gi c a l r e v ol u t i o n t o t h e political and social changes underway in society. The se "agricul tural s t a tesmen" would b e individual s who could begin to se e the in te rdependen t na tur e of ou r �9 hi gh ly urb a n industrialized e c on omy and how i t dire c t ly af f e c ts a gricul tur e.

We developed a f un d i n g propo sal f o r suc h a r ural leader ship program. I t was sent to t h e Kellogg Foundation, and we wer e asked to come down to Battle Creek for a meeting with Fo und a tion sta f f. We put on "one whale of a pre senta tion," or so we congratulated ourselves during the return d rive to Eas t Lansing.

Two years p articipation became the patt ern afte r early experimentation with three year programs . In each program, the workshops and trave l s e mi n a r s are aimed at providing participants with a n understanding o f t h e social, economic, cultural and political dimensions of public issu e s and needs. Major p ublic problems examined and analyzed include poverty, world food s u p p l y , economic polici es, and the probl ems of rural areas. Specif ic workshops and s e mi n a r s are d e signed to develop skills and communi cations , problems o l v i n g , and how partic ipants can learn to work within political s y s t e ms . I'l l not go into greater deta il her e describing the Michigan rural leadership development program or those which followed in Ca li forn ia, Montana, Pennsylvani a, �13 and he r e in Wa sh ing ton.

The anecdotal evidence of the rural leadership pro grams' s u c c e ss and impact i s overwhelming. What you will a l s o f i n d are individuals making comment s like the s e Michigan program graduate s: o " Th e Kellogg program was the greates t experience possible.

What they gained through t h e i r association wi th t h e program was self confidence to speak up; s e l f confidence t o st a n d up." �17 Thes e types of sub j ec tive evaluation were, and certainly are, impor tant.

Certainly, thi s audi ence ne e ds no l i t a n y of lament 2 on why America today -- more than ever -- s o desp erat ely needs such rural leaders or "agricul tu ral state smen." We have moved f r om an agrarian to an urbanized soc i ety . Of even more severe con sequence i s t h e continued maldistribution accompanying agricultural technology. Gener al ly, rura l areas continue to face declining income bases, which make i t difficult - - even impo s s ible -to maintain c ruc ial he a lth services, educationa l and recreational serv ice s, and the type s of gen e r a l s o c i a l s ervices most American s take for gran ted. Today, we s e e c o n f l i c t i n g demand s being p l a c e d upo n our rural communities. I n some cases, rural areas are e x p e r i e n c i n g new l evels o f population and g eneral economic growth generated b y avai labi lity of na tural re sources for energy e x p l o i t at i o n , by t h e decen tr al ization of indus try , �20 o r by t h e d e s ire of peopl e to live away f r om t h e urban mi li eu . With t h e t e chnologica l advanc e o f agri culture, there ha s b e en a spec i alizat ion and f r a gme n t at i o n -- i n t h e f a bric of agricu ltural rese arch, i n the i n d u st r y of fa r mi n g, i n th e maz e of f a r m o rganiz at ions and inst itu tion s whi ch serve agr iculture. In a l l of t h i s , t h e r e is a cen t ra l ne e d for rural le adership. In 1 9 7 4 , on the eve o f Richard Nixon 's r es i gnat ion f r om th e Presidency, Time Magazine publ i s h e d a 38-pag e s pe c i al sect i on o n l eader ship. Th e mag a z in e obs erved that, and I quote: "In the U.S. and round the world , t h e re is a sense of d i mi shed v i s i on , of g lob a l pro blems t h a t a r e overwhe lming the c ap ac i ty of l e a de r s .

The probl e m i s profound; a n d r ea c h e s f r om the presidency down t h r ou g h t h e s t ate and loca l g overnments, t o s c h o o l bo ard s, n eighborhood ass o c ia t i on s , volunteer human servi ce ag e nc i e s, and almo s t al l o ther aspe c t s o f life in b oth urban and rural Amer ica. An d what , sadly , has b een most absent a re t wo key ingredien ts of l eadership: the ability t o be educated and to e d u c a t e . �22 Those rural dichotomies which we d iscu ssed at Michigan State Un i v e r si t y in 1958 and which l e d t o th e Kello gg Founda tion' s i n i t i a l r u ra l le ad ership program involvement in 1 9 65 , absolutely pale in comparison to t h e problems fa cing rural America today. More and more f r e q u e n t l y , we need to educat e and e n l i g h t e n rural ci t i z e n s ; t o giv e them as "agricultural s t a t esme n" the ability to carefully weigh and balance a comp l ex array of i s sues and judgments in t erms of overall s o c i a l benefi t. Th a t l e a d e r s hi p need, and the conflicting rural demands I mention ed re g a r d i n g na tural resource s and e n e r g y e x p l o i t a ti on , were brought home v e r y v i v i d l y t o me during a conversation with some o f you l as t spring at a rura l deve lopment workshop in Pullman, Wash ington. Workshop par tic ipan ts we re t a l k i n g abo ut the energy crisis and its great i mp a c t on Ea s t e r n Washington. Spec ifically , Washing ton Governor Dix i e Le e Ray has �23 proposed that a grea t l a n d are a be s e t aside as ~ reservation i n Eastern Washington for t h e developmen t of 18 t o 22 nuclear power generators. I f that happens, it will o f course caus e a great influx (o r outmi gration) of population and will be received with mixed reaction by whatev er part of the s t a te i s s e l e c t e d for such a development . Th e p rosp ect and cons truc tion of one or more nuclea r generators will have s i mi l a r impac t on t h e local communities a ffected. The n et is that most of Eas tern Wash ington probably will experienc e s i g n i f i c a n t change. During the workshop in Pullman, I asked parti cipants s everal que st ions r elating t o t h e r e a lit ies of community and regional development a s reflect ed i n pas t and potential p lans for energy d eve lopment. For examp le, t h e Grand Coule e Dam is in Ea s t e r n Washington and ha s made a tremendous impact there as well as s e r v i n g as a p ower source for the West Coast. I asked th e qu estion, "I f t h e Grand Coulee Dam had not y et been buil t, s h o u l d �24 it b e bu il t , and cou ld it be bu i l t"? The concensus s e e me d t o be tha t y e s , it should be bu il t -- the bene fi ts t o soci e ty hav e f a r exceeded the var ious nega tives. Bu t , whi le it s h o u l d b e built, it could not b e buil t for a whol e va r i ety of r easons -- legal c o n st r a i nt s , envi ronmen tal cons idera tions , ac t ivist groups. The r e al d i l e mma i s t h a t there are no t enough t r a i ne d rural l eaders c a p ab l e o f analyzing such ma jor, multifa ce ted , and o f ten hi ghly e mo t i o n a l i ssues as nucl ear or hydroel e ctric power i n t erms o f e c on omic and soci al need s a n d prioriti e s of t h e i r l o c a l communi ti e s, s ta te , th e agric u ltural s e c t o r , and our n a tion as a who le. We n e e d rural le a de r s who are no t f ri gh t e ned by t h e compl exity and in t e r r el a t e d n e s s of rural prob lem s a n d opportunities; a n d rural lead e r s who can work e f fectiv ely with th e i r ne ighbors and wi th peopl e o f v a r y i n g e du ca t i o n a l , ec o nomi c a nd p o lit ical b a c k g rou nds �25 and per suasions. I am reminded of a sta temen t by John Gardner, past U.S. Secre ta ry of Health, Education, and Welfare, and more recently identified with Common Cause and t h e Independen t Sector. Gardner s a i d t h e p r o b l e m is that our coun try i s caught in a savage cross f i r e between uncritical lovers and un loving critic s. You have to ponder tha t sta tement for a momen t, but I think he was s a y i n g tha t a t one ex treme we have t h e s o - c a l l e d uncritical love rs --the peopl e who are so e n a mo r e d of, s o enthusias tic about our pre s ent in s ti tut ion s and t h e way t h e y work, they aren 't wil ling to tol erate any change in t h e sta tu s quo. At th e other e x t r e me , we have t h e unloving criti c s -- the ma lcontent s and activi st s who are t o t a l l y di senchan t ed with our p r e s e n t s y s t e m and will do every thing t h e y can to tear i t down without making any con structive recommenda t ions. What we need to develop are rural l e a de rs who are critical l ove r s or loving critics -- individuals who hav e a deep apprecia- �26 t i o n and r e spect for v a l ues t h a t we have inherit ed, and a willingne ss to t r y t o ma k e c hange s t o a c c ommo d a t e t h e need s o f the ' 80s and the '90 s. v. Th e prov is i on o f e x p a n d ed o ppor tuniti e s t o d evelop such l eadership s k ill s, a n d such " loving c r i t i c s ," is at t h e v e ry h e a rt o f t h e p ilo t ru ral leadersh ip development programs fund e d b y th e Kel logg Foundation dur ing t he pa s t 1 5 y ears. Such oppor tuni t i e s are mor e ne eded today than t h e y were i n t h e "payl e ss paydays" of t he la t e 1950's and tha t e a r l y Saturday mo rning me e t i ng of Co o pe r at i ve Ex t ension p eople a t Mi c h i g a n St at e Un i versity. The re solu tion of rural developme n t i s s ues withi n y ou r ind ividual s t a t e s and commun i ties will go nowh e re wi thout popular understanding a nd pa r t ic ipat i o n . The chall enge is to make i t p o s sib le f or p eop l e to take t h e �27 lead in handling t h e local and sta te-ba sed proc ess o f rural d evelopmen t. For ty ye ars ago, M. L. Wilson i n a n ar tic l e published i n th e Year b ook o f Agr icul ture cl early p o in ted out t h e e s s e n t i a l framework in whi ch even t o d a y' s rural le a d e rs hi p mus t opera te.

We believe there cont inue s to be such a chal leng e and such an opportun ity in 1 9 8 0 .

Mawby Chairman and Chief Executive Officer w. K. Kellogg Foundation Battle Creek, Michigan at the 31st Annual Meeting of the Southern Conference of Dental Deans and Examiners The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina January 5, 1985 I It ~s a pleasure to be here with you in Chapel Hill for this meeting of the Southern Conference of Dental Deans and Examiners. I feel privileged to be a part of your program, and I hope that the observations of a layman and a grateful beneficiary of your profession may be useful to your deliberations of the theme, "Lifelong Learning and the Challenge to the Professions." As Dr. Barker indicated to you, I am not a professional in any of the health fields. My background is in agriculture and, quite frankly, as I was organizing my thoughts for this morning, I wondered why Ben invited a farmer to give this presentation. Before break, you may be joining me In the context of this ~n wonderment. morn~ng coffee meeting, I may not know enough not to say what I think; as an old farm boy, I will simply plow ahead. �2 Iw o u l d s h a r ew i t h you t h ef a c tt h a tf r omm y e a r l i e s td a y s , on a f a rmi na r u r a lcommun i ty i nw e s t e r nM i c h i g a n , Ih a v eh a dg r e a tr e s p e c t a n da dm i r a t i o nf o rt h eh e a l t hp r o f e s s i o n s .

I bring to my remarks the viewpoint of a user of your professional services and of an administrator in philanthropy who sees the professions and universities and schools of dentistry and buildings and all the rest, not as ends in themselves but as a means to the larger end of serving human needs. The si gnificance of this morn~ng to me ~s heightened by my awareness of your key positions of leadership, as leaders in education and as leaders in practice. Because of your responsibilities, you key ro1 2s in shaping the future. ~n fact have You establish the criteria by which the difficult determinations are made as to who will be admitted to school and to practice; you shape the curriculum to which students are exposed and determine the rigors to which they are subjected; you establish on behalf of the public interest, the requirements for the privilege of dental practice; and you collectively in these and your other roles in the dental profession, establish the criteria by which success or failure is determined. players ~n Thus, ultimately, you are major influencing the shape, the character, the personality, the morality of the dental component of our health care system. We outside the profession are grateful for the degree to which you succeed; we worry about the whys, the hows, the so-whats of the job you do. We are the beneficiaries -- or the victims -- of the consequences of your efforts. You are l eaders of the dental profession. As lead ers, you must have a vision of what ought to be and a commitment to move consistently and �4 p e r s i s t e n t l yi nt h a td i r e c t i o n .

A changing pattern of reimbursement, with increasing emphasis on third party payers (described by one dean as a bonanza for dentistry). I sense a great challenge in the health arena In this country to come up with a new system of payment to practitioners and providers. Now we have a health care system In which the providers are reimbursed for illness treatment. As we move increasingly to an emphasis on prevention and promotion, we need a "preventive maintenance contract," such as I have with my veterinarian. Dentistry has been the leader In programs of prevention and has been remarkably successful. A challenge now will be to be equally creative in devising a new reimbursement scheme to better serve both client and professional interests. You, of course, can add other changes from the professional perspective. Now from the standpoint of the users, the paYlng public, I would suggest these el ements of change underwa y: Less deference by laymen to the professions. Perhaps a greater assumption of self-responsibility by the individual for personal well-being. - A g r e a t e r demand for integrated patterns of health care serVlce. �9 Two years ago, I was invited to address the Health Professions Education Conference at the University of Illinois, Chicago. In approaching that task, I pursued the question, "If I could design it, what kind of a health care arrangement would I like for the Mawby family?" This is not an idle or an impulsive question; it lS one I have been asking myself, members of our Foundation program staff, and leaders in the health professions for a number of years. I have finally concluded that, ideally, I would have the Mawby family affiliated with a small group practice consisting of three or four family physicians, a pediatrician and an obstetrician/ gynecologist, and two dentists. These doctors would be working appropriately and in harmony with nurse practitioners, dental auxiliaries, a receptionist/bookkeeper, other support personnel in nursing and the allied health fields. Many are surprised that I would have my dentist as a part of such a group practice. As a layman, I frankly don't understand why the profession of dentistry is practiced in isolation -- perhaps splendid isolation but none the less isolation from the mainstream of the health care system. I believe the problems of my teeth and my mouth are not isoldt ed from the rest of me and can have an effect throughout my body. Thus, the failure of the professions to address this idiosyncrasy in the �1 0 p r e s e n tp a t t e r no fp r a c t i c e lSd i f f i c u l tt of a t h om .

This goal is tough to accomplish, S1nce it 1S much easier to simply measure hours of teaching contact, test scores, or indicators of student satisfaction. 2. Most continuing professional education is carried out by what educators call a mode of instruction -- the dissemination in some way of established skills, knowledge and sensitiveness. The person who conducts the instruction already knows everything the student will learn. Most resentment of continuing education is a product of poor teaching. Adults simply will not put up with what young people have come to accept as inevitable. 3. Another mode of education, that of inquiry, 1S also crucial to continuing professional education. This is the process of creating some new plan of action, synthesis of thought, policy or strategy by use of the poor judgment of the persons concerned with the outcome. A group practice or clinic setting can use 1nqu1ry to set a course of action for the future. This mode is difficult for the solo practitioner. 4. Insufficient attention is given in c ontinuing professional education to the mode of reinforcement. Thin gs learned must become a part of the habitual and conscientious usage of the individual. Peer review and encouragement, with peer inter- action are useflll means of reinforcement, and are difficult in the general patt ern of solo dental practice. �1 4 v A sI l o o kt ot h ef u t u r e ,I f o r e s e ed r am a t i cc h a n g e si nt h eh e a l t h s c e n e ~n t h eU n i t e d S t a t e s .

" �4 We've had the same problem with the bureaucrats in Washington over the past decade. They have too often, perhaps out of a sense of pompous self worth and self righteousness, distorted the English language to confuse issues and cultivate their concepts of social engineering. And as I said, that has been particularly so in the wording of I.R.S. regulations and restrictions on private philanthropy. III. We can be thankful, however, that the atmosphere of distrust, conflict and skepticism between the governmental, private, and business sectors seems to be changing, due to several Reagan administration initiatives. Orator-statesmen Henry Clay said over a century ago that "government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are caretakers for the benefit of the people." There is a noticeable similarity - , �5 b e tw e e nt h a tc r e d oa n dt h er e a lp h i l o s o p h yb e h i n dm any , i f n o ta l l ,c h a r i t a b l ef o u n d a t i o n s .

This year's major tax legislation -- the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 -- brought another important improvement in the law for private foundations. The tax act eliminates the requirement that grant-making foundations distribute their entire current income annually. Effective January 1, 1982, it establishes a flat five percent payout rate. The new law will free foundations to take advantage of investments which are most productive. Further, it will increase the total amount of foundation grants ; after a short transition period, by expanding the asset base on which the five percent annual payout requirement is applied. It is, ln sum, good for both foundations and their grantees. It is not too immodest to note that Michigan foundations provided crucial leadership and support for this legislation. Our foundations, working through the state Council, and with �7 the leadership of Dottie Johnson, Bill White, Bill Allen, and others, secured the Democratic prime co-sponsor for the bill, Congressman Bill Brodhead. Michigan foundations also worked through grantees and through personal visits on liThe Hill" in Washington to secure support from other Michigan Congressmen, including Guy Vander Jagt, Howard Wolpe, and Senator Don Reigle. The reality is that the measure wouldn't have been approved without the coordinated efforts of Michigan foundations. And as I noted earlier, the payout change will give foundations thA option to reinvest a portion of their income to offset inflation over the years ahead. IV. This changing and more positive relationship between private philanthrophy and government, reflected in recent legislative action, also encompasses continuing and new challenges for foundations.

T h u s , i t i s �9 probable that foundations an a t i o n s together will ( make grants next year of slightly more than $5 billion. By contrast, Congress approved federal spending cuts of seven times that amount in July for just fiscal year 1982, and the President requested $13 billion in additional reductions last month. It is clear that private philanthropy cannot fill the gap created by cutbacks in public funding. It should also be recognized that some of the cutbacks are of expenditures which have been described as "wasteful, unnecessary, or not cost effective." To the extent that may be true, they should not be rescued by support from other sources. I am of the opinion, personally, that there cannot be, - and should not be, any single "unified" response by foundations nationwide to the difficulties associated with the federal cutbacks. Historically, many foundations have seen their role more as a catalyst for identifying and addressing emerging �10 i s s u e sa n dp r o b l em s ;r a t h e rt h a np r o v i d i n gf u n d sf o rs h o r t t e rm s o c i a ln e e d sa n dc r i s e s .

We should encourage our peers in the foundation field to fully comply with filling out and submitting the 990AR Form and to adopt policies which stress public accountability and open access to grant-making information. The latter can also be achieved through publication of a brief foundation annual report, and the listing of a foundation's address and phone number in the local telephone directory. Today, foundations, and private philanthropy in general, have no real option but to work more effectively togeth er, and individually, to increase their public accountability. Foundations will continue to receive close public and Congressional scrutiny. That scrutiny may be accentuated by the federal cutbacks. In light of such cutbacks, Congressman Rosenthal of New York recently asked for a federal General Accounting Office review of I.R.S. auditing of foundations. There is ~ the possibility that hearings on foundation reporting may be held in the U.S. Senate.

The more overall income community foundations have, the more they must raise from the local community. It is almost -- indeed it is -- a "catch 22" situation in which the more successful you are at raising funds the heavier you are penalized. And we must look at more than just tax laws, regulations, and definitions. As a nation, we must decide if we really want to encourage volunteerism, a movement which has given a special quality to American life. I am encouraged by the Reagan Administration's willingness to address issues of voluntary giving and service in our society. VII.

RUSSELL G. MAWBY W. K. KELLOGG FOUNDATION JANUARY 22, 1990 GOVERNOR BLANCHARD, PRESIDENT SYKES, DR. SANDERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT IS TRULY AN HONOR TO BE PART OF THE LAUNCHING OF THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK. IT SEEMS INCREDIBLE -- ALMOST MAGICAL -- THAT PARTICIPANTS IN THIS TELEPRESS CONFERENCE ARE ASSEMBLED NOT JUST HERE AT LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE, BUT ALSO AT THE 28 OTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN MICHIGAN. THE FACT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING MAKES THIS A GREAT DAY FOR MICHIGAN -- NOT JUST FOR HIGHER EDUCATION IN OUR STATE -- BUT FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, IN EVERY CIVILIZATION, DISTANCE AND TIME HAVE BEEN OUR MASTERS. FOR EXAMPLE, MORE THAN 2,000 AMERICAN AND BRITISH SOLDIERS DIED IN THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS -- AND TRAGICALLY, FOR THE WAR HAD ACTUALLY ENDED TWO WEEKS PREVIOUSLY. HAD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EUROPE AND AMERICA BEEN SWIFTER IN 1815, THOSE MEN WOULD NEVER HAVE GONE TO BATTLE. OUR TECHNOLOGY HAS IMPROVED ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF IN THE INTERVENING 175 YEARS, BUT THERE ARE STILL PARTS OF THIS NATION -- STILL PARTS OF MICHIGAN -- WHERE THE STATE OF COMMUNICATIONS MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLES 1815 THAN 1990. IN MANY COMMUNITIE S AND FOR MANY INDIVIDUAL S, �2 ACCESS TO COMMUNICATIONS AND TO THE WORLD IT OPENS UP, IS PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT. IN A WORLD IN WHICH THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE, ISOLATION FROM COMMUNICATIONS CAN BE A TERRIBLE HANDICAP. THAT IS WHY THE W. K. KELLOGG FOUNDATION REGARDS THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AS SO IMPORTANT, AND SO EXCITING. THE FIRST THING THAT IMPRESSED US WHEN THE PROPOSAL WAS FIRST DISCUSSED WITH US WAS THE FACT THAT IT DID NOT SEEK TO DUPLICATE WHAT ALREADY EXISTED. IT COMPLEMENTS, RATHER THAN COMPETES WITH, THE MICHIGAN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY NETWORK, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED BY A MAJOR GRANT FROM THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. "MITN," AS IT IS CALLED, LINKS MICHIGANS "BIG 4" RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES: MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY, AND MICHIGAN TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY. WE WERE EVEN MORE IMPRESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF COLLABORATION BETWEEN MITN AND THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK. THE MICHIGAN STRATEGIC FUND, WITH WHICH WE HAVE WORKED IN THE PAST AND FOR WHICH WE HAVE GREAT REGARD, IS JUST NOW CONSIDERING A REQUEST FROM MITN IN THE AMOUNT OF $8 MILLION. IF THIS REQUEST IS APPROVED, MITN HAS PLEDGED TO GRANT $750,000 OF THAT ASSISTANCE TO THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ASSOCIATION SO THAT MCCA CAN PURCHASE A MOBILE UPLINK. THIS IS A KEY PIECE OF THE PROJECT. NONE OF MICHIGAN'S COMMUNITY COLLEGE S CURRENTLY HAVE UPLINK CAPABILITY; IF THE REf)UE ST IS APPROVED, ALL 29 �3 WILL HAVE IT! THIS MOBILE UPLINK WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ORIGINATE PROGRAMMING FROM ANY POINT IN THE STATE THAT CAN BE REACHED BY ROAD. THIS WILL BE ANOTHER SUPERB EXAMPLE OF COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, THE MICHIGAN STRATEGIC FUND, AND THE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN OUR STATE. THE KELLOGG FOUNDATION'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THIS PROJECT BEGAN IN 1988, WHEN OUR LATE PROGRAM DIRECTOR, DR. PETER ELLIS, BEGAN WORKING WITH CONNIE JULIUS, THE DIRECTOR OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS OF THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ASSOCIATION, TO DISCOVER THE BEST WAY IN WHICH THE FOUNDATION COULD BE HELPFUL. SINCE PETE'S DEATH, DR. JOEL OROSZ OF OUR STAFF HAS ASSUMED THIS RESPONSIBILITY. THE BEST WAY FOR THE FOUNDATION TO BE HELPFUL, IT TURNED OUT, WAS (IN DR. ELLIS'S WORDS), TO uHURRY HISTORY ALONG. u ALL OF MICHIGAN'S 29 COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE uSATELLITE RECEIVE u CAPABILITY . . IF THE MICHIGAN STRATEGIC FUND IS ABLE TO MAKE, BY WAY OF MITN, THE GIFT OF THE MOBILE UPLINK, THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES WILL SOON HAVE THE ABILITY ALSO TO ORIGINATE PROGRAMS. IN SHORT, THE BASIC HARDWARE WILL BE IN PLACE. WHAT IS NEEDED NOW IS SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT. So THE KELLOGG FOUNDATION AND THE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ASSOCIATION HAVE ENTERED INTO A PARTNERSHIP TO DO JUST THAT. AND I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THIS MORNING A FOUNDATION COMMITMENT OF $3 MILLION TO ENABLE THESE PLANS TO MOVE FORWARD. PIECES. THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP IN TWO THE FIRST IS A GRANT TO MCCA OF $500,000 OVER FIVE YEARS TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE THE SKILLS OF THE PEOPLE WHO IMPLEMENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROJECTS ON EACH CAMPUS. THROUGH THIS �4 SUPPORT, MCCA WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE TELECOMMUNICATIONS WORK THROUGHOUT THEIR NETWORK. THESE FUNDS WILL ALSO ALLOW MCCA TO MONITOR AND AID IN THE EVALUATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACTIVITY AT ALL MEMBER CAMPUSES. THE SECOND PORTION OF KELLOGG FOUNDATION SUPPORT IS A BLANKET APPROPRIATION OF $2,500,000 WHICH WILL BE MADE, OVER FIVE YEARS, DIRECTLY TO MICHIGAN'S COMMUNITY COLLEGES ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. THERE WILL BE THREE TYPES OF GRANTS MADE FROM THIS APPROPRIATION: FLAGSHIP GRANTS THESE WILL SUPPORT PROJECTS TO ENHANCE THE EFFORTS OF ONE OR MORE COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO IMPROVE THEIR SERVICES ON A REGIONAL OR STATEWIDE BASIS . . THE GRANTS WILL BE PARTICULARLY TARGETED TOWARD UNDERSERVED AREAS. A TOTAL OF $400,000 PER YEAR FOR EACH OF FIVE YEARS IS EARMARKED FOR THESE MAJOR GRANTS. VENTURE GRANTS THESE WILL PROVIDE, AS THE NAME IMPLIES, "VENTURE CAPITAL" TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT HAVE CHALLENGING AND CREATIVE IDEAS FOR THE USE OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, BUT LACK THE RESOURCES TO MAKE THE INITIAL INVESTMENT. EACH GRANT WILL BE FOR ONE YEAR, AND $50,000 ANNUALLY WILL BE ALLOCATED FOR SUCH GRANTS OVER THE FIVE YEARS OF KELLOGG SUPPORT. �5 BOOSTER GRANT~ THESE WILL PROVIDE, AS THE NAME IMPLIES, A TIMELY uBOOST u FOR A PROMISING PROGRAM, IN ORDER TO BRING IT TO COMPLETION SOONER, AND HOPEFULLY BETTER. EACH ALSO WILL BE FOR ONE-YEAR, AND $50,000 ANNUALLY WILL BE ALLOCATED OVER THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD. FOR ALL THREE TYPES OF GRANTS, THE APPLICATIONS WILL BE SCREENED BY A TELECOMMUNICATIONS EVALUATION COMMITTEE, APPOINTED BY MCCA, AND COMPOSED OF COMMUNITY AND CIVIC LEADERS AND TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONALS. THEY WILL SET CRITERIA, AND NOMINATE A LIST OF FINALISTS TO THE KELLOGG FOUNDATION. THE FOUNDATION WILL THEN MAKE THE FINAL DETERMINATIONS FOR FUNDING. ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS IN THIS INITIATIVE WILL BE ASSESSED BY IMPARTIAL THIRD-PARTY EVALUATORS, AND THE LESSONS LEARNED WILL BE SHARED WITH THOSE WHO STAND TO BENEFIT FROM THEM. IT IS OUR HOPE THAT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES WILL DISCOVER WAYS IN WHICH TO MOVE THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS FORWARD RAPIDLY. �6 WHILE WE ARE SPOTLIGHTING TELECOMMUNICATIONS THIS MORNING, WE MUST REMIND OURSELVES THAT TELECOMMUNICATIONS IS IMPORTANT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IMPROVES THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. IF THIS PARTNERSHIP CAN DELIVER NEEDED INFORMATION, IN A TIMELY MANNER, TO THOSE IN THE INNER CITY AND IN RURAL AREAS, AND TO OTHERS WHO HAVE NOT BENEFITED FROM THE INFORMATION REVOLUTION, THEN IT WILL BE A SUCCESS. AND IT WILL PROVE AGAIN THAT MICHIGAN WORKS BEST WHEN ITS GOVERNMENT, ITS INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, AND ITS FOUNDATIONS WORK TOGETHER. THANK YOU AND GODSPEED TO ALL OF YOU IN YOUR IMPORTANT WORK. RGM/LPT0335C � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

HISTORY OF PHILANTHROPY IN AMERICA I think it is important that when we talk of philanthropy, that we realize we are talking about much more than the giving away of financial resources. It also refers to the giving of our time, or what we as Americans refer to as volunteerism. The individual and combined volunteer actions of thousands of unnamed citizens have had an impact on American society. These actions were of citizens who became involved, not because �-2- of coercion or profit, but because they recognized a need and were willing to take responsibility for meeting that need. Volunteering is so pervasive in America that it can be observed daily in almost every aspect of life. From people donating blood, Christmas caroling in hospitals, running Parent·Teacher Associations, serving as volunteer firemen, to helping our retired neighbor cut their grass. Volunteerism is crucial to a functioning democracy because it mobilizes enormous energy. The more citizens become involved in volunteerisrn, the closer they come to making the ideals of democracy real. Philanthropy is both an expression of patriotism in a pure sense and the means by which a democratic society remains "bv the people. II �-3- The White House Task Force on Private Sector Initiatives stated in 1982: A volunteer is a person who can see what others cannot see; who can feel what most do not feel. Often, such gifted persons do not think of themselves as volunteers, but citizens . citizens in the fullest sense; partners in civilization. II. CORPORA TE PHILANTHROPY Corporate Philanthropy is an integral part of corporate social responsibility. Corporations need to recognize philanthropy both as good business and as an obligation if they are to be considered responsible corporate citizens of the national and local �-4- communities in which they operate. These corporations should also establish programs to handle its philanthropy in business-like ways. Philanthropy in America has traditionally been a pluralistic activity involving private individuals, foundations, and corporations. Of these groups, individuals provide almost 90 percent of total contributions, while corporations and foundations provide the other 10 percent. In 1992 approximately $124.33 billion was donated to charitable organizations in the United States. Of that, $6 billion came from corporations. �-5- Although financial contributions are essential elements in business philanthropy, participation also involves a broader range of activities. For example, corporations 'frequently assist not-forprofits through loans of employees, donations, or loans of equipment and space, volunteer programs, and direct dollar investments in economic redevelopment efforts -- all of which can be accounted for as business expenses. Approximately 90 percent of companies with annual sales of $25 million or mora engage in cash giving. There is widespread belief among CEOs that it is important to behave in a socially responsible manner and that, in pursuing business objectives, they must take into account the public interest. �-6- A study conducted by the Council on Foundations shows that corporate giving is an expression of enlightened self-interest, Most corporations claim to be motivated by a desire to help the - needy in the cnmmunities in which their company has plants and by a desire to do what is ethically correct. Two out of three also emphasize the goals of improving local .,. communities in order to benefit their own employees and of protecting/improving the environment in which to work and to do business. -- About a third hope to improve their company.'s public image. �7 - Abou t aqua r te r expec t tha tthe i rco rpo ra te g iv ing e f fo r tsw i l l resu l tininc reasedrevenues /p ro f i tab i l i tyand inan enhanced ab i l i ty torec ru i tqua l i ty emp loyees . ~ keytohowmuch acompanygives.

NOVEWIBER 17,1996 Russell G. Mawby Chairman Emeritus and Trustee W. K. Kellogg Foundation In successful grantmaking, there are three key components: problem -- program -- people! The problem -- clearly articulated, timely, and important; the program or course of action proposed to address the issue; and, most important of all, the people involved -creative, competent, committed. A decision to support the National Center for Nonprofit Boards was based on all three and, in retrospect, was prudent, even brilliant. When the Kellogg Foundation made its initial investment in the National Center for Nonprofit Boards in 1987, we had no ideajust how successful that decision would tum out to be. We made a four-year grant of $880,000 to launch NCNB, which then was only �-2- an idea. With the grant, the founding organizations -- the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges and Independent Sector -- then asked Nancy Axelrod to become its first chief executive. She opened NCNB's doors with a staff of 3 and is leaving nine years later with a staff of 25. The budget has grown from $385 ,000 in 1988 to $3.4 million this year. The Kellogg Foundation and the other five funders who helped launch NCNB have been joined by 105 other foundations and corporations that have provided grant support to the National Center for Nonprofit Boards. Even more impressive, NCNB now finances most of its operations from earned income from publications sales, membership dues, meetings and conferences, and board training fees. Earned income �-3In 1996 will be about $2 million and will account for about 60 percent ofNCNB's total income. Beyond these figures that show how well Nancy, her board, and her staff have led NCNB is the critical role that the National Center for Nonprofit Boards has played to promote strong boards. All of us know how important effective trusteeship is to the health of the nonprofit sector. In just nine years, NCNB has become a highly respected center for information and advice to help boards become better -- not only in the United States but also in other parts of the world where non-governmental organizations are contributing to the establishment and strengthening of civil societies -- and are asking NCNB for assistance. Congratulations, Nancy, on the remarkable work you have accomplished while serving as NCNB' s first chief executive, and good luck as you begin a new chapter in your career. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby Pre si dent, W. K. Kellogg Foundation at the Annu al Me eting Thank-you Night of the Battle Creek Area Unit ed Commu ni t y Services January 20 , 1971 It is a privilege for me to be a part of this Annual Meeting-Thank-you Ni ght p rogr am. I am grat e ful to your Prog ram Commi t t e e fo r inviting me to be wi t h you this evening. In asking me t o accept t h is ass i gnment , yo ur Commit tee ha s s ele ct ed a speaker wi t h a bias ed point of v iew, f or I am fully s upport i ve a nd deepl y a pprec iat i ve of a l l th at UCS represents . As t he one par t i c i p ant in t he p rogr am thi s evening wi t h no off ic ial capac ity with ues , may I beg in my remarks as an un of fi ci al-- self- appo i nted , i f you please- -spokesman for th e c ommunity . Speak i ng for all of us i n t he Grea ter Battle Creek- Cal houn County commu nity , we ar e grateful f or your e f f orts on b ehalf of a l l of us . Somet imes I fear y ou hear mostly the neg ative, with criticisms t hat are ot h er t h an con s tru ctive. But that's the noisy few. As a community at large, we ar e grateful t o yo u bu sy peop le who take responsib i l it ies in our United Communi ty Se r v i ce s , to ser ve as off icers , directors, divis ion chai rmen , c ommitt e e members , and vo lunteers in the Unit ed Fund campaign . With refer ence to the campa i gn , t h i s past y ear has been r egarded as a " r ou gh ye ar " b ut i t' s ap p ropriate to r erai nd ourse lves t hat in thi s c ampaign just c ompleted , more do l lars were r a i s ed t han ever b e fo re in th e l oc al campaign, more peop le wer e g iver s , more workers were engag ed in t he campaign th an ev er b efore in hi s t ory. The s e s ignificant fa cts , in li gh t of the difficult economic and polit ical s ituation experienced l oc al l y, vould seem to me to represent a deg r ee of succe s s of v h i ch you a l l can be proud . �2 Further, we are gr a t e f u l to the leaders and the staff members of the constituent ag,encies of UC S and to the volunteer workers without whose dedicated servi c e the programs of these agencies and or gani zat i ons would be impossible. Foundation work we often speak of th e multiplier effect. In ou r Just so, in th e e f - forts of United Community Services, the efforts of UCS leaders and staff and agency leader s and staff are multiplied through volunteer services, in this way touching the lives of individuals in homes and communities throughout the a r ea . On thi s ni gh t, the entire c ommunity says to you--and through you, to all who make poss i b le this c omprehensive ef f ort we call UCS--THANKS. The lives of cou ntl e s s individuals--boys a nd gi r ls , men a nd women, young and old- - h ave b e en mad e b r ighter and richer thr ough y our effo rts . II As I t hink o f this group me eting tog e t he r t onigh t, a whole phi losophy of l ife is summed up i n three words, UCS : United : working together Commu ni t y : all of us, car i ng abo ut each other Se r v i c es : transforming word s, ideas, convictions into helpful, u seful action In no ot h er country of the world would one be likely to find an event like this, for nothing is more characteristi c ally American than the fundamental precepts of United Fund g i v i ng a nd UC S. Firs t, t h i s is a p r i vat e effort to deal with human concerns and social needs. It r epresents a p art o f ou r plura l i s ti c approac h to problems in Ameri ca, in which we do not transfer al l res ponsibi liti es to gove r nme nt , but rat h er r ec ognize t he i mportant contribution of t h e private s e ctor of ou r s ociety in serving human caus e s. �3 As we s urvey th e history of soci al progre s s, we recogniz e that very oft en innov a ti orein me eting human needs have b een developed through the initiative of p r i vat e individuals and group s with their own resources. As such innovative efforts have succeeded, very oft en they h ave been sustained and expanded at publi c expense. But the initiati ng f orce was a private effort. Se cond , ues repre sent s a vo l u ntar y effort, of our own fr e e will. Ea ch i ndividu21 make s his own deci si on a s to hi s contribution or role, b a s ed upon h i s own convict ions and cons cienc e. Third, DeS repr es ents giving, of dollars and time and tal ent. Nowher e e ls e in t he world has th e conc ept of private voluntary g i vi ng b ee n so well de velop ed . Yet , as thi s Ame ric an cr ea t ion is now be i ng "export ed" to countri e s and c ult ures around t h e world, t hose who ar e involved with t he private s e ct or here are in crea singly co n c er ned wi th c er tain tr ends t hat appear to be developi ng. There seems t o b e a n erosi on of volunt e e ri sm, an increasing tendency to transfer to government responsibilities which b efore have been met by volunt ary, p r i va t e effort. And the r e app e a r s also t o be a tendency to incre asingly co n s t ra i n the priva t e s ector , impo s i ng mor e r e s tricti on s and bu r eaucrat i c re gula ti on s wh ich detr act from the cent r a l purposes and s igni f i cant cont r i b ut ions of privat e philanthropy. The most r ec ent exampl e of this is the Tax Reform Act of 1969, the impl i cati ons of whi ch are not y et clear, but whi ch have significance for Foundations such as I represent and for all private giving. All who fee l de eply, as I do, about volunt e erism and p r i vat e phi l anthropy mus t be con cerned and take pos i t i ve , f orceful act ion to s ee t hat privat e agenc ies �4 continue to be vital forces , meeti ng priority needs of people in communit ies so that these agenc ies continue to warrant c it izen confidence and support . II I To this end , each of you who has an offic ial r esponsib ility- -as an off icer , as a trustee or board member or co~ittee member , as a staff member , or as a volunteer- -with DCS or any constituent agency , has been accorded by the community the responsibil ity and author ity to provide leadership for all of us i n fulfil l ing the go al s an d potent ial of Uni t ed Fund giving . This is a de- mandi ng ass ignment , sometime s thankless , but in t he larger sense r eward i ng and fulfi l l ing . You k now better t han I t he processes r equ i si t e to s uccess i n t he goals of united giving and United Community Services , but permit me two observations . My first observation relate s to the tough , complex business of sett i ng priorit i e s. I n each agency it is abso lutely ne cess ary , in a systemat i c and compr ehe ns i ve way , to take a hard l ook at programs . The questions to b e asked and answered a re not easy , i nc l ud ing s uch perplexi ng issues as who i s be ing served, to what ends , how wel l , an d what may be alternatives, both in my agency or elsewhere in UCS . The business of setting priorit ies is hard to do , for emotions run de ep . Success i n best ser v i ng the community r equires selfle s sne s s ; statesma ns hi p in community ser v i c e s , if y ou please ; a conscious effort to avo id confusing ends with means ; and a concern for the whole rath e r than a preoccupation with l e s s e r self-centered irterests . I am sure you share my exc itement at the announcement this evening by Mrs . Jenney of the YwCA and Mr . Sundberg of the YMCA regard ing the plans of �, 5 thes e two organizat ions t o con sider merging their progr ams , r e s ource s, and future. Thi s deci si on I am sure has been r eached only after the most thorough a nd soul -s ear chi ng a nal ys is and i s b as ed upon a co nv i ction by the e nl i ghtened l eadership of these two org anizations that t he inter ests of t he total commu ni t y can be b e s t ser ved in thi s way. I co ng rat ul a te th em on t his st at esmanl i k e a cti on and wi sh th em su c c es s i n thi s e f f or t . In addition to prior ity sett ing wi t hi n each a gency , the United Community Servic e s has t hi s r e s ponsibility i n th e per sp e ctive of t h e l ar g er communi ty. The setting of pri or ities requi res difficult dec i sions and involves some r isks. I t' s much easi e r t o comp lete a pri orit y of needs st udy t ha n to i mpleme nt t h e r e commen dati on s r e s ult i ng therefrom . I am sure you a re fo l lowing with int er e s t t h e co ur ageous effor t s in Detro i t to r edire ct en erg ie s a nd r eall ocat e r es ources to me e t t he h i gh e s t p rior ity ne e ds of the Detroit community . The Michi gan Unit ed Fund j ust now is in th e middl e of a se lf- s t udy e f f ort , co ncerning itsel f with t he s it uat ion today and t he r equi r eme nt s for suc cess in t he f ut ur e . I n thi s ve i n I comme nd t o you f or y ou r t ho ug ht f ul co n s i de rat i on t he s t a t eme nt s in the Annual Report s of t he President a nd t he Division Chairmen of our UCS. I am convinced that our community wi ll expand th e ir support of ou r United Commu nity Se rvi ces (1) as the community un der s t and s the needs of t h e community and t h e r eali s t i c plans of UCS to meet those need s and (2) as the community has growi ng confi dence that ea ch do l l ar i s sh epherded careful ly and wi s ely sp ent . Earl ier I made refer en ce t o t he priva t e sec t or in prov iding l eaders h i p t o the pub l ic s ec t or in program i nnova tions to meet huma n needs . I would submit t h at the private sector in l ike fa sh i on can show th e way in the ar ea s of �6 priority setting and accountability as well. Perhaps the successful experience of UCS and its constituent agencies in this difficult process can be transferrable to our public institutions. My second observation relates to the challenge of keeping UCS truly united. United effort is particularly trying in times of stress--on budgets, on emotions, on traditions. It's easy to be united when every answer can be yes; it's much more difficult to work together when resources are limited in relation to budget requests and program aspirations. United Community Services is probably the best, certainly the most durable, example of joint effort in our community. Too seldom are we able to put aside arbitrary political boundaries and provincial interests to work together to common ends. We need more of this in our community, in every phase of our social, economic, and political life. Perhaps UCS again, as it con- tinues to be successful in welding community energies to serve common goals, can chart the way for further cooperative undertakings in the Greater Battle Creek Area to the mutual benefit of all. IV I was delighted to see the New Year's Day editorial in the Enquirer and News. Those who read it will recall the statement entitled, "Our Town Needs an Epidemic of Wellness.,r In this statement the editor reminded us of the tre- mendous resources and assets we have in our local community, what a great place in fact in which to live. Too often these days we somehow seem to be pre- occupied and overly conscious of the negative influences and we need to look at the plus side of the ledger to keep proper perspective. �7 To be i n vol v eda s you ar e ,t oa s s um et h erespo n s i b i l i t i e syou h a v e assum ed i nD eS andth ev a ri o u sc o n s t i t u e n tag e n ci e s ,you m u s th av e fa i thin m a n k i n d andb e an o p tim i s t (are a l i s t ,y e s,b u t an o p tim is ta swe l l ) .

Mawby, President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, for the Opening Session of the XORDFOOD 70 Seminar, University of Helsinki, November 30, 1970. Mr. Chairman, Rector Kivinen, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a privilege for the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to participate in tnis opening session of the NORDFOOD 70 Seminar. In addition to being the opening of this international professional meeting concerned with food science and technology, this occasion mar ks a significant juncture for the University, the Institute, and the Foundation. I express our congratulations to the Government of Finland, the University of Helsinki, the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, the Institute of Food Chemistry and Technology, and the food industry of Finland whose dreams, ambitions, and efforts are represented in this event. My only regret on this occasion is that I am not with you personally. At t he time Rector Kivinen, Professor Roine, and Dr. Koivistoinen discussed plans for this seminar when we were together here last April, it was my intention to be with you today. made t hat impossible. Subsequent developments, however, have LU3t Mu.y, the Pre tJident of our Foundation r eoigned for health reasons and I was elected to that position. On September 1, Dr. Emory Morris retired as our chief executive officer after 37 years with the Foundation and I assumed his administrative responsibilities. Since the Annual Meetin5 of our Foundation and its Board of Trustees is in early December, it is impossible for me to be away at this time. In this circumstance, nothing could be more appropriate than for the Foundation to be represented on this occasion by Professor Robert S. Harr i s . Dr. Harris has been a valued friend and a colleague of the �-2- Foundation for more than 30 years. With his international reputation i n this fielQ and his intimate involvement with the Institute of Food Chemistry and Technology as a consultant during the developmental years, Dr. Harr i s is an ideal spokesman in this instance and I am grateful to him for assuming this responsibility. Our Foundation's relationships in Finland go back nearly a decade. I: I The Foundation Fellowship Program in Finland was initiated in 1963 and s ince then, 36 outstanding young professionals in fields of specialization related to agriculture and forestry have stUdied in the United States. " Without exception, the individuals selected by the National Research Council of Agriculture and Forestry for this opportunity have been exceptionally well qualified. Universities have been anxious to accept them for graduate study and have been complimentary of their performance. It is our observation that these Fellows have benefited from this experience a~id are fulfilling professional positions in'various institutions and organizations here. When I joined the Foundation staff in 1965, Dr. Glenwood L. Creech discussed with me a proposal which had been submitted by the National Research Council on behalf of the University and the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. This proposal was signed by four men then unknown to me but whom I now regard as professional colleagues and valued personal friends: Professors Vartiovaara, Roine, Antila, and Niinivaara. This was a thoughtfully prepared plan for development of a program of instruction and research in food uc Lcnc o and technol.ogy. 'l'his request for f'Lnunc Le.L assistance by the Foundation in this important undertaking was approved by our Board of Trustees and one of my first official acts with the �3 ) Foundat i on w a sw r i t i n gR e c to rK iv in en a d v i s i n gh im o fou rs u p p o r t .

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. IV. 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.

Maw by, president of the W . K. Kellogg Foundation , during his closing address at the 1981 NAE4-H,6; conference in Detroit . "T oo often. educators get caught up in the aura of the institution they work for and forget that their primary goal ;1; to teach: ' Mawby Mid . "4-H has always been a grassroots program . and because of it the program will continue to successfully help young people learn." Another of the program 's strengths , according to Mawby . is that its members have a direct line to Iand-grllnt university rll8OYfC88. " The 'university connection' is what gives 4-H an edge over similar youth programs:' Mawby said. " By drawing on universities' resources, 4-H has eccesa to the best minds in the country to twllp program participants and staH learn and solve problems ." Despite 1M program's strengths, Mawby said that 4·H workera too often suHer from a " seIfimposed second-class status ." ''Temporary setbacks, like budget reductions , are things that should be expected, not feared:' Mawby explained. " One look at 4-H's track rs- cord is enough proof that the program is worth· while and must be continued. We need to communicate its importance and impact, not wIthdraw at the first signs of adversity. " Mawby says that he has confidence that the 4H program will persevere and prosper if it continues to serve youths' basic needs.

I am impressed indeed with the cooperative sponsorship and planning fm' this professional meeting, truly an 8caclemic-practice partnersni;:> in addressing issues concerned ',lith health care delivery. I commend the leadership of the California Hospital Associa.tion, the California i·;edical Association, the California Regional Medical Programs, and the School of Medicine of tbe University of Southern California, for this very constructive and productive relationship. II Your conference focus on "Costs, Controls, Changes and Caveats" is certainly tirrely and significant. In reviewing the program, I am inpressed indeed with the topics which will be addressed by very able resource ~eople. My particQlar responsibility is to consider the outlook for private or voluntary support in improving community health services. I wish to consider "que.LLt.y" in its most comprehensive sense, LncLudd.ng such aspects as comprehensiveness, accessibility, and continuity, as well as considerations �o fs c i e n t i f i co rt e c h n i c a ls t a n d a r d s ,a p p r o p r iR t e n e s s ,a p dc o s t b e n e f i t r e l a t i o n s h i p s .

Your profession simply cannot focus on beds, technology, practice, and forms as ends in themselves. The second dimension relates to total society. The evidence is clear tha.t certain Americans, by reason of geography, income, social considerations, have less than adequate health care. This too is a reality requiring change. To comment on innovations for the future, it's necessary to refer back to the problems which concern us--issues such as access and availability of care, continuity and comprehensiveness of care, proQuctivity of various elements of the system, cost and financing, quality. With these central issues in mind, from our vantage point we see such promising opportunities as the following: 1. Reorganization of institutional ambulatory health services away from an endless series of specialty-oriented clinics to a more comprehensive family-centered health service unit utiliZing such qualified personnel as nurse 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 care, with an ambitious implementation of the principles of preventive medicine and provision of quality health care in the least-cost manner and circumstance. 2. Development of institution-based outreach programs, such as home care, primary care clinics in under-served areas, and appropriate linkages or relationships with other care providers, such as nursing homes. 9 �3 .

Mawby Chairman and Chief Executive Officer W~ K. Kellogg Foundation Battle Creek Investment Growth Corporation Second Annual Fund Breakfast June 6, 1984 Thank you, Dale. I am particularly pleased to be here this morning, and to be part of this, the Second Annual Breakfast focusing on the economic future of greater Battle Creek. Its simply great to look out in the audience this morning and see many of this city's best friends and most spirited leaders. Your energies and actions have helped Battle Creek to reach a number of its most challenging goals in recent years. For that we all owe a debt of gratitude. �Isn't it also great to see the new spirit of progress and achievement in our community? Parking this morning may have been somewhat of a problem for us ... but what a change we are going to see in the downtown over the next two years! * A new five-deck public parking structure convenient to the Michigan Mall and to McCamly Square. * The new Kellogg Corporate headquarters building. * Downtown redevelopment efforts involving the Michigan Mall, the linear park, new restaurants, and, hopefully, new businesses. You should all take pride in the fact that we haven't let our downtown die ... in the recognition backed by commitment ... public and private ... that a community needs a l1heartl1, or a center, in order to perceive itself as an entity. We are going to have quite a different downtown than we have had in the past, but it will be even more vibrant, and even more central to the future of greater Battle Creek than it ever has before. 2 �We know that the challenges are not over for Battle Creek. We still have a 13 percent unemployment rate in our community -one of the highest in Michigan in spite of the turnaround in the automobile industry. We continue to face the crucial challenge of diversifying our local economic base ... of drawing more and different industries to our community; of creating new jobs ... and jobs that offer good salaries and working conditions. We continue to face the challenge of improving educational opportunities for our citizens, and for opening up both employment and social advancement opportunities for all residents of Battle Creek. These are facts and needs. Each of you, each day, must be a pragmatist as you fulfill your busin ess and civic leadership roles in Battle Creek. But you've reached your leadership position by not being a "gloom and doomer". Its always easier to grumble than to roll up the shirt sleeves and go to 3 �work on problems. down by Hark Twain: It puts me in mind of the good advice handed "Lord save us all from a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms." I don't believe there are any gloom and doomers in this room this morning! I've been asked to talk briefly about economic development as it relates to the Kellogg Foundation and Battle Creek. I am firmly convinced that any foundation's initiatives are important only in the context of their synergism with people and other organizations. By that, I mean that the grantmaking of foundations in economic development, or in almost any other area of social need, finds its greatest worth when it is a collaborative undertaking that iqvolves others -- other sources of funds, as well as active participation by business and civic organizations, individuals, and government. 4 �Some people think that foundations make their programming decisions in isolation ... in a sort of rarified atmosphere, remote from the world, almost supernatural in their approach. I don't know any that work that way. We don't at Kellogg. And we all know that "supernatural" is only the natural not yet explained. Perhaps there is even less clarity about how private philanthropy, private foundations, relate to the host of economic development issues and problems which face Michigan and Battle Creek. Private foundations in Michigan have had a major role in statewide economic development initiatives over the past four or five years. The Kellogg Foundation, along with the Mott Foundation of Flint, has been a leading partner in collaborative economic development initiatives at state and local levels. 5 �Let me mention a few examples of Kellogg involvement in economic development. * The Industrial Technology Institute in Ann Arbor. Our foundation has targeted up to 40 million dollars to the Industrial Technology Institute which is a pioneering effort to bring together the research capabilities of our sup erb institutions of higher education, in this case under the leadership of the University of Michigan, to address long term employment opportunities in the automated production systems area. The ITI is pooling contributions of university research, industry's facilities, and gov ernment and private sector support to make Michigan the geographic center of robotics technology during the decades of the 1980s and beyond. The goal is to develop such technology that will lead to related industry and jobs in our state. 6 �*Th eM i ch ig an B i o t e c h n o l o g yI n s t i t u t ei nE a s tL a n s i n g .

T h i ss u p e r b 7 �group of solution finders, operating on a voluntary basis, is helping Michigan to design ways that the state, business, and labor can work together to solve issues of mutual concern. Looking now to the local scene. The same set of measurements, involving collaborative funding, and collaborative targeting of talent and other human resources, is also very much in evidence right here in Battle Creek. And that is true whether one is talking about specific economic development efforts, or the types of educational and recreational improvements which will result in work experience for youth, a better educated and trained future work force, and those which make Battle Creek a more attractive community in which to live and invite guests, and new industry. Let me remind you of a few examples. 8 �*The summer youth employment programs over the past three years which have involved the funding of Kellogg and other area foundations, the cooperation of businesses to provide jobs, help of local schools to off er gu i d a nc e and counseling for the young workers, and the assistance of youth serving agencies to coordinate the many employment-related activities. There also is an exceptional range of educationally oriented initiatives which have blossomed during the past two years. They include the recent "Excellence in Education" day held here in Stouffer's Branson Ballroom just two weeks ago. It was a day devoted to recognizing the academic achievement of seniors from all eight area public and private school systems. Other academically grounded projects have included summer programs for the gifted and talented; computer camps for youngsters; related training for school teachers in science and math; and 9 �the list goes on and on. All of these will eventually result in better educated, more skilled workers for local business and industry. We also now see the new Linear Park System becoming a reality ... physically linking the new Battle Creek in a 28-mile system that will be a tremendous recreational resource for all of us ... from walkers to joggers, senior citizens to winter skiiers. The Park, more importantly, is being developed with funding from the Kellogg Foundation, the state of Michigan Land Trust, and the City of Battle Creek. It also will involve the cooperation of scores of area nonprofit service organizations to help "adopt" and maintain portions of the park ... And, again, there is the provision of summer jobs for hundreds of area youth, the chance for young people to actually work on construction of the park system during the next three years. 10 �I might also mention the phenomenal development of the Binder Park Zoo as an area recreational and education facility and outreach effort. The Zoo's growth has been made possible only through the collaborative, combined efforts of area business, industry, foundations, and most importantly, volunteers who have served countless hours as board members and as educational docents for the zoo's programs. As the zoo further develops its animal exhibits during the immediate years ahead, area youths also will be employed in zoo construction activities. These recreational efforts will make Battle Creek an exciting and fun community in which to live and work. Through these examples, I believe it is also clear that the Kellogg Foundation has backed up its belief in a collaborative approach to development efforts -- statewide and locally. 11 �As I mentioned earlier, any attempt to better the quality of life -- whether in Battle Creek or Michigan or elsewhere -begins with the involvement and commitment of people ... and with the collaboration, or synergism of businesses, civic groups, labor groups, industries, and citizen leaders all working together. You know, I have a pair of oxen, -- steers trained as the draft animal in pioneer America. Conscious of the pair's historic roots, I named them Yankee and Doodle and they drive to oral commands only, as they should. With oxen, we use the yoke to transform their strength to useful energy. harness, whippletrees and eveners. working together, can do the job. With horses, it's A well-trained team, But if they are not together when they hit the yoke or collars, they'll work against each other, with disastrous results. 12 �The uniqueness and the success of the Economic Development Fund has been its emphasis on the team approach in harnessing the power and the potential of local institutional and individual citizen partnership for solution of Battle Creek's economic diversification problems. The approach is as old as the use of ox yokes and whippletrees in America. It is also as relevant and as challenging as anything facing our community today, and the longer term needs of the 1980s and beyond. That is the key. LONG TERM NEEDS. All of us here today, must ask ourselves what kind of future we want for Battle Creek in 1990 and beyond? What kind of job opportunities do we want available for our children and our grandchildren? community of growth and progress? Do we want a Of excellent schools, government services, recreational facilities, civic and cultural institutions and activities? 13 �I think we know what we want ... for ourselves, for our future, for our children, for our community. this morning. That's why we are here To step up to the challenge of keeping Battle Creek moving ahead. To pledge our commitment of personal or business financial support in 1984 to the Economic Development Fund, and to the types of job creation and job retention projects which it has already funded so successfully in its first year of operation. The Kellogg Foundation intends to accept its part of that community challenge and responsibility. Toward that end, I am pleased to announce today that each year for the next five years, contingent on the fund's projects successfully increasing the number of local jobs and new firms in our community, the Kellogg Foundation will match other local contributions by business, industry, individuals and foundations to the economic development fund up to a total match of $2.4 million. 14 �We b e l i e v es t r o n g l yi nB a t t l eC r e e k ' sf u t u r e .
