American
self-government was created by a small group of people who were
thinkers as well as doers, engaged in the world of affairs and
the world of ideas. The Library of Congress, at the beginning
of its third century, has an unprecedented opportunity to help
revive this traditional American interaction through the insight
and benefaction of Mr. John W. Kluge.
In an age where power and influence
depend increasingly on knowledge, citizens and their leaders must
rely more on wits than weapons to sustain global progress. Leaders
need to tap the wisdom of mature scholars whose judgment and objectivity
will bring fresh perspectives to government.
The John W. Kluge Center at the
Library of Congress is an ideal place to foster this mutually
enriching relationship between scholars and political leaders.
The Kluge Center presents a new opportunity to attract to Washington
the best available minds in the scholarly world, facilitate their
access to the Library's remarkable collection of the world's knowledge,
and engage them in conversation with the U.S. Congress and other
public figures.
For reflections on being a Kluge
Center Scholar, view the Resident
Scholars page.
