Living Legacy of W. McNeil Lowry
«“We praise the work that foundation officers produce with philanthropic dollars, even though the shelf life is often brief. But of course in the long run what matters in philanthropy is the long run. It is the rare officer whose work meets this test—who builds a program exactly right for its moment, that yet is so fundamental it outlives this moment. That was Mac Lowry's towering achievement. His wise writings, as brought together in this excellent collection, show his strategic deftness in the moment as shaped by his vision for the long run.”—Kenneth Prewitt, Carnegie Professor of Public Affairs, Columbia University; former Senior Vice President, Rockefeller Foundation; President, Social Science Research Council; Director, U.S. Census Bureau»
This carefully curated collection of the writings and speeches of W. McNeil (Mac) Lowry will provide significant information about and insight into a remarkable period in the second half of the twentieth century, when the foundations of the arts as they now exist in the United States were creatively and firmly laid, primarily through Lowry's penetrating intellectual perspective and his strategic organizational acumen as Director of The Ford Foundation's unique Program in Humanities and the Arts.
