Alfred Receives $200,000 Grant- Humanities Programs to Benefit
The National E n d o w m e n t for the H u m a n i t i e s ( N E H ) h a s a w a r d e d a $200,000 challenge g r a n t to Alfred University for d e v e l o p m e n t and evaluation of its h u m a n i - ties p r o g r a m s , the Southern Tier institution announced Nov. 13.
A l f r e d w a s o n e of 71 colleges and universities se- lected nationwide to r e c i e v e a challenge g r a n t from the Washington D.C. agency.
The g r a n t p r o g r a m a w a r d s
$1 f o r e v e r y $3 A l f r e d U n i v e r s i t y r a i s e s by t h e completion of the 1982 f i s c a l y e a r for h u m a n i t i e s pro- g r a m s .
According to Dr. S. G e n e Odle, University provost, if A l f r e d ' s goal of $800,000 in gifts is r e a c h e d , the Univer- sity will a p p r o p r i a t e $700,000 f o r " l o n g - r a n g e u n d e r g i r - d i n g " of i t s h u m a n i t i e s p r o g r a m s t h r o u g h endow- m e n t p r o j e c t s . The r e m a i n - ing $100,000, Odle a d d e d , would be used to support t h e p r e s e n t h u m a n i t i e s c u r r i - culum .
" T h e p r o j e c t s w e r e chosen to give Alfred University continuing s u p p o r t for exis-
ting p r o g r a m s , as well a s the opportunity to enrich and i m p r o v e t h e m , " Odle said.
" T h e projects should signifi- cantly i m p r o v e the philoso- phic a n d qualitative under- pinnings for humanities a t Alfred, as w e l l a s i n c r e a s e the u n d e r s t a n d i n g and ac- c e p t a n c e of the r o l e of h u m a n i t i e s a m o n g A l f r e d s t u d e n t s . "
Lyn Seidler, director of the N E H program , said A l f r e d ' s p r o p o s a l for h u m a n i t i e s pro- j e c t s was r a n k e d by N E H panelists as one of the b e s t plans s u b m i t t e d in the coun- try.
A l f r e d ' s new e n d o w m e n t p r o g r a m s , s p e c i f i c a l l y , would include the establish- m e n t of a visiting distin- guished professorship in hu- m a n i t i e s for o n e s e m e s t e r of each a c a d e m i c year; and t h e f u n d i n g fer a local professor- ship in humanities, a g a i n for one s e m e s t e r e a c h a c a d e m i c y e a r , to replace University faculty away from c a m p u s on sabbatical or leave of a b s e n c e .
Another e n d o w m e n t would be s e t up to s u p p o r t the professional activities of the
h u m a n i t i e s f a c ulty, including the p r e p a r a t i o n and publica- tion of m a n u s c r i p t s and t h e p a y m e n t of faculty confer- ence a n d t r a v e 1 expenses. A fourth endowm ent would pro- vide funds for regional re- s o u r c e personnel to t r a v e l to Alfred, bringing additional e x p e r t i s e to a d v a n c e d class- es a n d s e m i n a r s a t t h e University.
T h e r e m a i n i n g $100,000 would include funding to i n c r e a s e the r e s o u r c e s avail- a b l e a t A l f r e d ' s H e r r i c k M e m o r i a l L i b r a r y . P a s t periodicals would be bound;
a c q u i s i t i o n s to s t r e n g t h e n c u r r e n t l i b r a r y collections and s u p p o r t t h e U n i v e r s i t y ' s humanities courses would be m a d e ; and p e r s o n n e l t o a s s i s t in the p r e p a r a t i o n of special collections would be h i r e d .
An evaluation of t h e hu- m a n i t i e s c u r r i c u l u m a t Al- fred and the d e v e l o p m e n t of l o c a l f a c u l t y s e m i n a r s - - intended to d e f i n e the contri- bution of the humanities-- were also included in Al- f r e d ' s proposal to N E H .

Gruliow pointed out t h a t the d i s t i n g u i s h i n g c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of any c u l t u r e is its l a n g u a g e , which i n d i c a t e s how a people view t h e i r world.
He b r o u g h t to light the f a c t t h a t the word intellectual h a s a d i f f e r e n t dictionary defini- tion for English, A m e r i c a n s and R u s s i a n s , the l a t t e r ' s d i c t i o n a r y d e s c r i b i n g an in- t e l l e c t u a l i n t e l l e g e n c i a a s one who is s u p e r f l u o u s to society, w h e r e a s t h e f o r m e r two r e g a r d the intellectual a s a v i a b l e political f o r c e .
G r u l i o w s u r m i s e d t h a t , a l t h o u g h we k n o w m u c h m o r e a b o u t R u s s i a t h a n e v e r b e f o r e , t h e r e is still a v a s t a m o u n t we d o n ' t k n o w . " Y o u h a v e no c e r t a i n t i e s , only s u r m i s e s , " he said. G e n e r a l - ly s p e a k i n g , A m e r i c a n s tend
o view Russia as being v e r y Dlack a n d white--that is, t h e K r e m l i n and B u r e a u c r a t s on one s i d e , and the d i s s i d e n t s on the other; when a c t u a l l y the i s s u e is m o r e c o m p l e t e .
Mr. Gruliow d e s c r i b e d t h e R u s s i a n phenomena a s be- g i n n i n g with the R e n a i s s a n c e when R u s s i a b e c a m e s e p a r - ated f r o m t h e r e s t of E u r o p on a f u n d a m e n t a l ideological level. Russia had, a t t h a t t i m e , r e j e c t e d the w e s t e r n notion of " p r o g r e s s " and t h e r i s e of t h e middle class.
In d i s c u s s i n g t h e Stalin
r e g i m e , Gruliow d e s c r i b e d it a s the f o r c i n g of a w e s t e r n d o c t r i n e ( M a r x i s m ) unsuit- able to Russian c u l t u r e down t h e t h r o a t s of its illiterate and " u n d e r d e v e l o p e d " peas- a n t r y . F o r an A m e r i c a n to try a n d gain an u n d e r s t a n d - ing of w h a t Russia m e a n s to R u s s i a , said Gruliow, we m u s t a p p r o a c h it t h r o u g h t h e l a n g u a g e .
F o r instance, he pronoun- c e d the R u s s i a n word for
" r o a d l e s s n e s s " , a word t h a t we h a v e neither a n ideologic- al or an e t e m o l o g i c a l equal f o r . We m u s t t r y to feel t h e f o r c e of 6,000 miles of p l a i n s u n i n t e r r u p t e d by a n y n a t u r a l b a r r i e r s , to begin to get a feeling f o r Russia.
R u s s i a n s e x p e r i e n c e d a g r e a t optimism a f t e r t h e v i c t o r y W . W .

Now, said Gruliow, R u s s i a n s a r e a s k i n g " w a s it worth i t ? " f a c e d with t h e p r o b l e m of c o n s u m e r i s m , m a n y R u s s i a n intellectuals a r e b e c o m i n g dissidents.
He c l a i m e d t h a t he hated to m a k e g e n e r a l i z a t i o n s a b o u t a c o u n t r y a s d i v e r s e a s Russia, e s p e c i a l l y w i t h t h e f e w p e o p l e he k n o w s there a s e v i d e n c e . H o w e v e r , -Grul-
iow, in trying t o a n s w e r t h e question of " W h a t do R u s - s i a n s w a n t ? " said he t h o u g h t m o s t R u s s i a n s w a n t e d a
" r e t u r n to n o r m a l c y , " a r e t u r n to middle-class val- ues.
T h e r e a r e m a n y d i f f e r e n t k i n d s of d i s s i d e n t s , a n d Gruliow stated t h a t very f e w d e s i r e d the A m e r i c a n form of d e m o c r a c y . S o m e a r e call- ing for ' ' M a r x i s m with a h u m a n f a c e . " In conclusion, Gruliow said we know a lot a b o u t w h a t ' s going on in R u s s i a t o d a y , b u t " H o w m u c h do we u n d e r s t a n d ? "
