2008 ANNUAL REPORT

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES

CHA IRM AN’S LET TER

The President

The White House

Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. President:

It is my privilege to present to you the 2008 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

At the White House in February, I joined President Bush and Mrs. Bush to launch the largest

and most ambitious nationwide initiative in NEH’s history: Picturing America, the newest element

of our We the People program. Through Picturing America, NEH is distributing forty reproductions

of American art masterpieces to schools and public libraries nationwide—where they will help stu-

dents of all ages connect with the people, places, events, and ideas that have shaped our country.

The selected works of art represent a broad range of American history and artistic achieve-

ment, including Emanuel Leutze’s painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware; Mary Cassatt’s The

Boating Party; the Chrysler Building in New York City; Norman Rockwell’s iconic Freedom of Speech;

and James Karales’s stunning photo of the Selma-to-Montgomery March for Voting Rights in 1965.

Accompanying the reproductions are a teacher’s guide and a dynamic website with ideas for using

the images in the study of American history, literature, civics, and other subjects.

During the first round of applications for Picturing America awards in the spring of 2008, nearly

one-fifth of all the schools and public libraries in America applied for the program. In the fall, the

first Picturing America sets arrived at more than 26,000 institutions nationwide, and we opened a

second application window for Picturing America awards that will be distributed in 2009. Working

in concert with other federal agencies, the NEH was also able to bring Picturing America to all

20,000 Head Start learning centers nationwide, Department of Defense schools at home and abroad,

and select National Park Service sites.

While Picturing America was a focal point of attention this year, the NEH continued its work

to promote excellent humanities scholarship, education, and public programming through its core

programs. As the Endowment’s efforts in the digital realm matured, we announced the transforma-

tion of our Digital Humanities Initiative into a permanent Office of Digital Humanities, or ODH.

Among its many accomplishments in 2008, ODH inaugurated new collaborative grant programs

with peer agencies in the United Kingdom and Germany, and launched a new initiative to explore

how supercomputers can be used for humanities research.

All of NEH’s widely varied initiatives and grant programs are united by a single, overarching

purpose: to democratize the humanities and make their insights available to every American citizen.

The humanities are not mere luxuries, or amusements for idle moments. They are ever-renewing

gifts that enlighten and enrich the lives of every citizen—and the wisdom they offer is essential to the

health of our democracy. Through its good work, the NEH continues to make a vital contribution to

our national life, to our quest for truth, and to the great conversation of our civilization.

INTRODUCTION 3

INT RODUC TIO N

In order “to promote progress and scholarship in the humanities and the arts in the United States,”

Congress enacted the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965. This act

established the National Endowment for the Humanities as an independent grant-making agency of

the federal government to support research, education, and public programs in the humanities. In

fiscal year 2008, grants were made through the Federal/State Partnership, four divisions (Education

Programs, Preservation and Access, Public Programs, and Research Programs) the Office of

Challenge Grants, and the Office of Digital Humanities.

The act that established the National Endowment for the Humanities says, “The term ‘humani-

ties’ includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following: language, both modern and classical;

linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics;

the history, criticism, and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic

content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the

human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and his-

tory and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.”

The National Endowment for the Humanities supports exemplary work to advance and dis-

seminate knowledge in all the disciplines of the humanities. Endowment support is intended to

complement and assist private and local efforts and to serve as a catalyst to increase nonfederal

support for projects of high quality. To date, NEH matching grants have helped generate approxi-

mately $2.03 billion in gift funds. Each application to the Endowment is assessed by knowledgeable

persons outside the agency who are asked for their judgments about the quality and significance

of the proposed project. Seven hundred and thirteen scholars, professionals in the humanities, and

other experts served on 161 panels throughout the year.

JEFFERSON LECTURE 4

JEF FERSON LECT URE

On May 22, 2008, writer John Updike presented the 37

annual Jefferson Lecture in the

Humanities at the Warner Theatre in Washington, DC. His topic, “The Clarity of Things: What

Is American about American Art?” wove a thread of ideas through the works of American artists

from John Singleton Copley to Jackson Pollock. “Two centuries after Jonathan Edwards sought

a link with the divine in the beautiful clarity of things,” said Updike, “William Carlos Williams

wrote in introducing his long poem Paterson that ‘for the poet there are no ideas but in things.’

No ideas but in things.” He continued, “The American artist, first born into a continent without

museums and art schools, took Nature as his only instructor, and things as his principal study. A

bias toward the empirical, toward the evidential object in the numinous fullness of its being, leads

to a certain lininess, as the artist intently maps the visible in a New World that feels surrounded by

chaos and emptiness.”

His pen rarely at rest, John Updike has been publishing fiction, essays, and poetry since the

mid-fifties, when he was a staff writer at the New Yorker. “Of all modern American writers,”

writes Adam Gopnik in Humanities magazine, “Updike comes closest to meeting Virginia Woolf’s

demand that a writer’s only job is to get himself, or herself, expressed without impediments.”

Updike has had a sustained interest in art, beginning in childhood when he had his first draw-

ing lessons. At Harvard he took art classes with Hyman Bloom, a painter who was associated with

a style known as Boston Expressionism. Then a Knox Fellowship gave Updike the wherewithal to

study for a year at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford, England. Painting had

taught him, he once said, “how difficult it is to see things exactly as they are, and that the painting

is ‘there’ as a book is not.”

In Just Looking, 1989, and Still Looking, 2005, Updike gathered the impressions he’s been

making over a lifetime of observing painting and sculpture. In an essay in the former he captures

in limpid prose Vermeer’s achievement in paint in View of Delft: “an instant of flux forever held.”

And in the latter, in a chapter on Jackson Pollock, Updike glimpses, and so we do, too, the essence

of what Pollock’s drip-painting could accomplish—“an image, in dots and lines and little curdled

clouds of dull color, of the cosmos.”

About his fiction Updike has said, “My only duty was to describe reality as it had come to

me—to give the mundane its beautiful due.” When considering the entire scope of his work,

readers of American fiction are most often put in mind of Harry Angstrom, the character from

the Rabbit saga with whom Updike seemed for many years to be on closest, if often contentious,

terms. Living in Ipswich, Massachusetts, from roughly 1957 to 1970, he published some of his

best-known novels: The Poorhouse Fair, Rabbit Run, Pigeon Feathers, The Centaur, and Bech: A Book,

introducing readers to his irreverent alter ego, Henry Bech.

In the half century Updike has been writing he has garnered many literary prizes, awards, and

honors, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle

Award, twice each; the Pen Faulkner Award for Fiction, the Rea Award for the Short Story; and a

Guggenheim Fellowship. He is among a select few to have received both the National Humanities

Medal and the National Medal of Arts. Albright College in Reading (the fictional Brewer readers

first encountered in Rabbit Run) bestowed upon him an honorary Litt.D. degree in 1982.

JEFFERSON LECTURE 5

Updike is known to many as an author of short stories, with dozens having graced the pages

of the New Yorker before being published in collections. He is also an accomplished literary critic,

whose reviews and essays frequently appear in The New York Review of Books. He received his

second National Book Critics Circle Award in 1983 for Hugging the Shore, including such gems as

the micro-essay “A Mild ‘Complaint,’” which skewers the misuses and ‘misusers’ of ‘scare quotes.’

He has also applied his habile wit to poetry, composing early on a collection called The Carpentered

Hen in 1954. Three more tomes of verse followed.

Updike holds a deep appreciation of the reading life in general and a love of the book in par-

ticular. He has alluded to an imagined reader of his work: a teenage boy who happens upon one

of his books on the dusty shelves of some library one afternoon looking for literary adventure. In a

speech two years ago at the American Booksellers Association convention, he encouraged belea-

guered booksellers to “defend [their] lonely forts. . . . For some of us, books are intrinsic to our

human identity.”

NATIONAL HUMANITIES MEDALISTS 6

NATI ONA L HUMANI TIE S MEDALISTS

President George W. Bush awarded the 2008 National Humanities Medals during a ceremony held

in the White House East Room in November. Nine distinguished Americans, one museum, and a

philanthropic foundation were honored for their exemplary contributions to the humanities.

The National Humanities Medal, first awarded in 1989 as the Charles Frankel Prize, honors

individuals or groups whose work has deepened the nation’s understanding of the humani-

ties, broadened our citizens’ engagement with the humanities, or helped preserve and expand

Americans’ access to important resources in the humanities.

Medal recipients do not compete for this award but are selected by the president for their lifelong

achievements in their diverse areas of expertise. Their achievements were cited at the ceremony:

GABOR S. BORITT, scholar and Civil War historian, recognized “for a distinguished career of

scholarship on Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War era. His life’s work and his life’s story stand as

testaments to our nation’s precious legacy of liberty.”

RICHARD BROOKHISER, biographer and historian, recognized “for helping reintroduce Americans

to the personalities, eccentricities, and noble ideals of our Founding Fathers. His works of biogra-

phy and history have rendered vivid and accessible portraits of the early days of the Republic.”

HAROLD HOLZER, scholar and Civil War historian, recognized “for engaging scholarship on that

crucible of our history, the American Civil War. His work has brought new understanding of the

many facets of Abraham Lincoln and his era through the study of image, word, and deed.”

MYRON MAGNET, journalist and author, recognized “for scholarship and visionary influence in

renewing our national culture of compassion. He has combined literary and cultural history with a

profound understanding of contemporary urban life to examine new ways of relieving poverty and

renewing civic institutions.”

ALBERT MARRIN, children’s book author, recognized “for opening young minds to the glorious

pageant of history. His books have made the lessons of the past come alive with rich detail and

energy for a new generation.”

MILTON J. ROSENBERG, radio show host and scholar, recognized “for bringing the world of ideas

to millions of listeners. Combining a scholar’s understanding and a teacher’s openness, he has made

a home in radio for elevated conversation and profound thought.”

THOMAS A. SAUNDERS III and JORDAN HORNER SAUNDERS, philanthropists, recognized “for

their wise leadership and philanthropy on behalf of higher education, the study of art, and greater

understanding of American history. They have enriched our culture and ensured a lasting legacy for

future generations.”

NATIONAL HUMANITIES MEDALISTS 7

ROBERT H. SMITH, philanthropist, recognized “for his profoundly wise stewardship and gener-

ous support of our nation’s premiere institutions of historical, artistic, and cultural heritage. He has

been a farsighted benefactor and a civic leader for all seasons.”

JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION recognized “for opening new frontiers in the pursuit of answers

to mankind’s oldest questions. The Templeton Foundation has been the catalyst of groundbreaking

work in scientific, religious, and philosophical exploration of the deepest concerns of the humani-

ties and the human race.”

NORMAN ROCKWELL MUSEUM recognized “for studying and honoring the life, work, and ideals

of an icon of American art. The museum has been the careful curator of the archives, illustrations,

and benevolent spirit Norman Rockwell bequeathed to the nation.”

EDUCATION PROGRAMS 8

DIV ISI ON OF ED UCAT ION PROG RAM S

Through the Division of Education Programs, NEH provides national

support for faculty development and teaching resources in the humanities.
