It assisted programs to train school and college teachers, develop curricula, publish scholarly books in the humanities and arts, and study such pressing national problems as uncontrolled urban growth, aging, juvenile delinquency, and efficient utilization of natural and manpower resources.

It undertook to help establish the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York as a focus of national culture, and offered assistance to writers, musicians, painters, sculptors, and theatrical directors.

It supported research in international law, public administration, the national economy and the role of the corporation, and the problems and cultures of foreign countries.

It awarded fellowships for economic research and overseas study, and sponsored the interchange of scholars and students between countries.

It helped key foreign educational institutions such as the Free University of Berlin and Oxford University, and it helped the world's less-developed countries in establishing the training programs they need to raise the living standards of their people.

In all of its activities, the Foundation's over-all objective has been to help mankind meet the challenge of the future. Mainly, the means and method have been educational—in the United States and, directly or indirectly, in nearly every other country of the world.

In the great awakening to the prime importance of education to our national life and to our world commitments, the Foundation will continue its efforts to make a maximum contribution to the advancement of human welfare, wherever and whenever it can. It can do no more; it would be remiss in its public responsibility if it did less.
