The/at one-/cd or/cc two-season/jj hunt/nn ,/, of/in which/wdt there/ex have/hv been/ben too/ql many/ap recently/rb ,/, may/md do/do more/ap harm/nn than/cs good/nn ;/. ;/.
for/cs such/jj programs/nns raise/vb hopes/nns of/in assistance/nn toward/in achieving/vbg excellence/nn in/in scholarship/nn and/cc the/at arts/nns which/wdt are/ber dashed/vbn when/wrb the/at programs/nns are/ber discontinued/vbn ;/. ;/.
and/cc they/ppss are/ber dashed/vbn ,/, no/at less/ap ,/, by/in lack/nn of/in skill/nn in/in making/vbg selections/nns of/in men/nns and/cc women/nns for/in development/nn toward/in the/at highest/jjt reaches/nns of/in the/at mind/nn and/cc spirit/nn ./.


	For/cs the/at making/nn of/in selections/nns on/in the/at basis/nn of/in excellence/nn requires/vbz that/cs any/dti foundation/nn making/vbg the/at selections/nns shall/md have/hv available/jj the/at judgments/nns of/in a/at corps/nn of/in advisors/nns whose/wp$ judgments/nns are/ber known/vbn to/to be/be good/jj :/: such/jj judgments/nns can/md be/be known/vbn to/to be/be good/jj only/rb by/in the/at records/nns of/in those/dts selected/vbn ,/, by/in records/nns made/vbn subsequent/rb to/in their/pp$ selection/nn over/in considerable/jj periods/nns of/in time/nn ./.


	The/at central/jj group/nn of/in the/at Foundation's/nn$-tl advisors/nns are/ber ,/, at/in any/dti one/cd period/nn of/in time/nn ,/, the/at members/nns of/in our/pp$ Advisory/jj-tl Board/nn-tl ,/, consisting/vbg ,/, now/rb ,/, of/in thirty-six/cd men/nns and/cc women/nns ./.
They/ppss are/ber chosen/vbn by/in the/at Foundation's/nn$-tl Board/nn-tl of/in-tl Trustees/nns-tl on/in the/at bases/nns of/in their/pp$ own/jj first-rate/jj accomplishments/nns in/in their/pp$ different/jj fields/nns of/in scholarship/nn and/cc the/at arts/nns ./.

For/in this/dt concept/nn of/in an/at Advisory/jj-tl Board/nn-tl ,/, ancillary/jj to/in the/at Board/nn-tl of/in-tl Trustees/nns-tl ,/, we/ppss are/ber indebted/jj to/in the/at late/jj President/nn-tl of/in-tl Harvard/np-tl University/nn-tl ,/, A./np Lawrence/np Lowell/np ,/, a/at master/nn of/in the/at subject/nn of/in the/at structure/nn of/in cultural/jj institutions/nns and/cc their/pp$ administration/nn ./.
That/cs we/ppss had/hvd the/at wit/nn and/cc wisdom/nn to/to adopt/vb Mr./np Lowell's/np$ concept/nn and/cc make/vb it/ppo the/at base/nn for/in our/pp$ processes/nns of/in selection/nn is/bez one/cd reason/nn why/wrb our/pp$ selections/nns have/hv been/ben ,/, it/pps may/md be/be said/vbn truly/rb ,/, pretty/ql uniformly/rb good/jj ./.


	For/cs ,/, in/in accordance/nn with/in Mr./np Lowell's/np$ concept/nn of/in an/at advisory/jj board/nn ,/, our/pp$ selections/nns are/ber made/vbn by/in experienced/vbn selectors/nns who/wps give/vb both/abx constancy/nn and/cc consistency/nn to/in our/pp$ processes/nns and/cc our/pp$ choices/nns ./.
And/cc lest/cs we/ppss should/md become/vb too/ql consistent/jj ,/, in/in the/at sense/nn of/in becoming/vbg heedless/jj of/in new/jj fields/nns of/in scholarship/nn and/cc new/jj points/nns of/in view/nn in/in the/at arts/nns ,/, the/at Foundation's/nn$-tl Board/nn-tl of/in-tl Trustees/nns-tl maintains/vbz a/at trickle/nn --/-- not/* a/at flow/nn !/. !/.

We/ppss are/ber not/* given/vbn to/in lamentations/nns ,/, neither/cc personally/rb nor/cc in/in these/dts Reports/nns-tl ./.
On/in the/at contrary/nn ,/, if/cs this/dt be/be an/at apocalyptic/jj era/nn as/cs is/bez commonly/rb said/vbn ,/, we/ppss see/vb it/ppo as/cs an/at era/nn of/in opportunity/nn ./.
For/cs ,/, granting/vbg that/cs there/ex are/ber great/jj present-day/jj problems/nns to/to be/be solved/vbn ,/, these/dts problems/nns make/vb great/jj demands/nns ;/. ;/.

It/pps gives/vbz ,/, indeed/rb ,/, cause/nn for/in rejoicing/vbg to/to remember/vb what/wdt many/ap catastrophes/nns of/in the/at past/nn produced/vbd ;/. ;/.
and/cc it/pps is/bez to/to be/be noted/vbn also/rb that/cs confidence/nn should/md grow/vb from/in remembering/vbg that/cs great/jj men/nns often/rb appeared/vbd in/in the/at past/nn to/to turn/vb local/jj catastrophe/nn into/in future/jj good/nn for/in all/abn mankind/nn ./.


	For/in example/nn ,/, out/rp of/in the/at social/jj evils/nns of/in the/at English/jj industrial/jj revolution/nn came/vbd the/at novels/nns of/in Charles/np Dickens/np ;/. ;/.

The/at solutions/nns were/bed not/* arrived/vbn at/in by/in any/dti theoreticians/nns of/in the/at Karl/np Marx/np stripe/nn but/cc by/in men/nns of/in government/nn --/-- lawyers/nns ,/, most/ap of/in them/ppo --/-- and/cc men/nns of/in business/nn ./.
These/dts were/bed educated/vbn men/nns ,/, who/wps ,/, as/cs Mr./np Justice/np Holmes/np was/bedz fond/jj of/in saying/vbg ,/, formed/vbd their/pp$ inductions/nns out/rp of/in experience/nn under/in the/at burden/nn of/in responsibility/nn ./.
That/dt is/bez ,/, to/to put/vb it/ppo realistically/rb ,/, they/ppss had/hvd to/to run/vb their/pp$ businesses/nns at/in a/at profit/nn ,/, or/cc they/ppss had/hvd to/to get/vb the/at votes/nns to/to get/vb elected/vbn ./.
Nevertheless/rb ,/, they/ppss made/vbd naught/pn of/in Marx's/np$ prophecy/nn that/cs capitalism/nn would/md never/rb pay/vb the/at ``/`` workers/nns ''/'' --/-- to/to use/vb Marx's/np$ word/nn --/-- more/ap than/cs a/at subsistence/nn wage/nn ,/, with/in the/at consequence/nn that/cs increased/vbn productivity/nn must/md inevitably/rb find/vb its/pp$ way/nn into/in the/at capitalists'/nns$ pockets/nns with/in the/at result/nn ,/, in/in turn/nn ,/, that/cs the/at gap/nn between/in the/at rich/jj and/cc the/at poor/jj would/md irrevocably/rb widen/vb and/cc the/at misery/nn of/in the/at poor/jj increase/vb ./.


	But/cc as/cs all/abn understand/vb who/wps have/hv eyes/nns to/to see/vb ,/, nothing/pn of/in the/at kind/nn has/hvz happened/vbn ;/. ;/.
indeed/rb ,/, the/at contrary/nn has/hvz happened/vbn ./.
The/at gulf/nn between/in the/at ``/`` rich/jj ''/'' and/cc the/at ``/`` poor/jj ''/'' has/hvz narrowed/vbn ,/, in/in the/at industrialized/vbn Western/jj-tl world/nn ,/, to/in the/at point/nn that/cs the/at word/nn ``/`` poor/jj-nc ''/'' is/bez hardly/rb applicable/jj ./.
And/cc the/at reason/nn this/dt could/md happen/vb is/bez clear/jj :/: men/nns of/in government/nn ,/, business/nn men/nns ,/, lawyers/nns and/cc all/abn who/wps concerned/vbd themselves/ppls with/in the/at welfare/nn of/in their/pp$ fellow/jj men/nns did/dod not/* let/vb their/pp$ concern/nn to/to run/vb their/pp$ businesses/nns at/in a/at profit/nn restrict/vb the/at development/nn of/in freedom/nn and/cc opportunity/nn ./.
Some/dti would/md say/vb that/cs they/ppss were/bed not/* permitted/vbn to/to run/vb their/pp$ businesses/nns only/rb for/in profit/nn ;/. ;/.
and/cc even/rb putting/vbg it/ppo that/dt way/nn would/md not/* prove/vb that/cs Marx/np was/bedz anything/pn but/in wrong/jj ./.


	Sir/np Henry/np Sumner/np Maine/np ,/, a/at hundred/cd years/nns before/cs Communism/nn-tl was/bedz a/at force/nn to/to be/be reckoned/vbn with/in ,/, wrote/vbd his/pp$ brilliant/jj legal/jj generalization/nn ,/, that/cs ``/`` the/at progress/nn of/in society/nn is/bez from/in status/nn to/in contract/nn ''/'' ./.
The/at essence/nn of/in contract/nn is/bez that/cs one/pn is/bez free/jj to/to make/vb a/at choice/nn of/in what/wdt one/pn will/md or/cc will/md not/* do/do ./.
Hence/rb ,/, the/at condition/nn of/in freedom/nn is/bez a/at necessary/jj condition/nn for/in choice/nn ./.
The/at greater/jjr the/at range/nn of/in freedom/nn for/in individual/jj men/nns ,/, the/at greater/jjr the/at range/nn of/in choice/nn ;/. ;/.
the/at greater/jjr the/at range/nn of/in choice/nn ,/, the/at greater/jjr the/at rate/nn of/in change/nn ./.
For/cs change/nn is/bez dependent/jj on/in the/at possibilities/nns that/cs individual/jj men/nns glimpse/vb for/in the/at future/nn ./.
But/cc when/wrb there/ex is/bez not/* freedom/nn and/cc opportunity/nn to/to choose/vb ,/, men/nns --/-- individual/jj men/nns --/-- must/md remain/vb in/in status/nn and/cc society/nn does/doz not/* ,/, cannot/md* ,/, progress/vb ./.


	The/at eternal/jj truth/nn is/bez that/cs progress/nn --/-- due/jj ,/, as/cs it/pps always/rb is/bez ,/, to/in individual/jj creative/jj genius/nn --/-- is/bez just/ql as/ql dependent/jj on/in freedom/nn as/cs human/jj life/nn is/bez dependent/jj on/in the/at beating/nn of/in the/at heart/nn ./.
