in the words of Emerson, 'Every institution is but the lengthening shadow of some man.'

Wikipedia 的Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK or MSKCC) 介紹(多少人的貢獻和努力！)，未特別凸顯Paul Marks 的獨特轉型角色，可見組織史的介紹，因人而異，.....

In 1945, the chairman of General Motors, Alfred P. Sloan, donated $4,000,000 to create the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research through his Sloan Foundation, and Charles F. Kettering, GM's vice president and director of research, personally agreed to oversee the organization of a cancer research program based on industrial techniques.

Leading Foundations Pledge to Give More, Hoping to...
沃克說：“這些通常自信的領導者感到絕望和恐慌，”。 “對於非營利部門的未來，從來沒有如此生存的挑戰。”

2019年，福特基金會發放了5.2億美元的贈款。沃克先生很快意識到，在這陷入危機的今年，這筆還遠遠不夠。

他的解決方案：借錢，花錢要快，並激發其他人效仿福特基金的作法。

福特基金會計劃週四宣布將借入10億美元，以大幅增加捐贈。

“There was a sense of desperation and panic from these usually self-assured leaders,” Mr. Walker said. “There’s never been such an existential challenge to the future of the nonprofit sector.”

In 2019, the Ford Foundation handed out $520 million in grants. Mr. Walker quickly realized that was not going to be anywhere near enough in this crisis-engulfed year.

His solution: Borrow money, spend it quickly and inspire others to follow Ford’s lead.

The Ford Foundation plans to announce on Thursday that it will borrow $1 billion so that it can substantially increase the amount of money it distributes.

The Sloan Research Fellowships are awarded annually by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundationsince 1955 to "provide support and recognition to early-career scientists and scholars". This program is one of the oldest of its kind in the United States.^[1]

Fellowships were initially awarded in physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Awards were later added in neuroscience (1972), economics (1980), computer science (1993), and computational and evolutionary molecular biology (2002).^[2] These two-year fellowships are awarded to 126 researchers yearly.^[3]

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallia_(Familie)

The wealthy and art-loving Jewish Gallia family from Vienna was remembered in 2011 by a book: the work Wohllebengasse published by Tim Bonyhady (* 1957), a descendant. The story of my Viennese family.

Adolf Gallia
Carl Auer von Welsbach, inventor of the illuminant Auer-Glühstrumpf and 1892 founder of the Austrian Gasglühlicht- (later: and electricity) company, employed the lawyer Adolf Gallia (1852-1925) with law firm and apartment in Vienna 1st, Dorotheergasse 6, with it to have his invention patented in as many countries as possible (1905 the Welsbach Light Company in Sydney, Australia). He also included the lawyer on the board of directors of his AG. The AG was based in Vienna 4th, Schleifmühlgasse 4, where Auer had previously been doing business.

Like his brother Moritz Gallia (up to 1902 spelling: Moriz), Adolf came from Bisenz near Göding in southern Moravia, i.e. from the northern area of Vienna, which was well developed by the Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn (the first steam railway built in Austria).

Adolf Gallia was very successful in Auer's service. In 1903 he had Jakob Gartner build Eckhaus 1., Stubenring 24 / Dr.-Karl-Lueger-Platz 6 (now known as Café Prückel) and a second house nearby. He lived on the Stubenring with his wife Ida and also moved his law firm there. He remained in Auer's service, even when his brother left Auer's company.

Moritz Gallia
Carl Auer von Welsbach also employed the brother of his lawyer, Moritz Gallia (1858-1918, spelling before the 1902 spelling reform: Moriz), a merchant, later honored by the emperor with the title of government councilor. He soon moved up to one of the two directors of Auers Gasglühlicht-AG. [1]

Moritz Gallia was rewarded so well as a director and experienced such an increase in the value of his investments that he was able to acquire extensive shares in the company. In 1901 he had a portrait of Ferdinand Andri, and subsequently also the children. Moritz and Hermine Gallia, née Hamburgers (1870-1936; great-grandmother Tim Bonyhadys) converted to Christianity in 1910 after having had their young children baptized Catholic earlier.

Relationship to Klimt
Moritz Gallia could afford to have his wife Hermine painted by Gustav Klimt in 1903, even though he had to pay about three annual salaries for today's employees. Klimt was at that time because of his “faculty pictures”, which were commissioned by the k.k. Ministry of Education for the University of Vienna were created, very controversial, but nevertheless successful. From November 14, 1903 to January 6, 1904, he exhibited almost the entire work of his last six years, including the still unfinished portrait of Hermione Gallia, with the XVIII. Exhibition of the Vienna Secession, whereby Josef Hoffmann and Kolo Moser arranged the exhibition and Moser designed the catalog. [2] [3] The Gallia couple bought one of Klimt's new paintings, a forest scene, at the exhibition.

Relationships with other artists
In addition to their close relationship with Klimt, Moritz and Hermine Gallia were also known as patrons of Josef Hoffmann and had an escape from their home in Hoffleben's Wohllebengasse arranged as a total work of art. They were best known to Alma Mahler-Werfel and her stepfather Carl Moll, and also friends with him; they bought about ten of his paintings. They had a portrait of Mahler by Emil Orlik that Mahler and Orlik had signed (the picture is in Tim Bonyhady's possession today); it originally had Theobald Pollak (1855-1912), Hofrat im k.k. Ministry of Railways, with whom they were friends.

Wohllebengasse 4 house
When Moritz Gallia joined Auers, he received a (service?) Apartment at the company's headquarters in Schleifmühlgasse 4. But when he gained great influence with Graetzin-Licht-Gesellschaft, a company competing with Auers, he ended in 1911 –1913 his engagement with and for Auer and bought an old house in Wohllebengasse in the 4th district of Vienna in 1911 to found his own place of residence in a new building. Auer thought Moritz's departure, which contrasted with the loyalty of his brother Adolf, was extremely disloyal.

From 1914 to 1938, the Gallia family then lived in a modern house built by Franz von Krauss on behalf of Moritz and Hermine Gallia next to Palais Schwarzenberg; the apartment took up about 700 square meters. The upper floors of the house consisted of rental apartments. On the Prinz-Eugen-Straße, from which the Wohllebengasse branches off, there were two Palais von the Fa

Printed at the Kelmscott

The Kelmscott Press published fifty-two books and a set of specimen pages for Froissart's Chronicles, a book that was never completed.

William Morris had many ideas for volumes he hoped to print at the Kelmscott Press. Books already in production were completed after Morris's death in 1896; however the press was closed in 1898 after these works were completed. There were many works that Morris had hoped to print but never produced. These included Shakespeare's plays, a catalogue of William Morris's library, John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, and novels by Sir Walter Scott and Charles Dickens. A complete timeline of Morris' setting up and running of the press is available on the resources page.

To learn more about the works and translations authored by William Morris see Morris as Translator and Morris as Author.
