Cyril Lang ’49 Center for the Humanities Endowment Fund

[W]hen you specialize, especially today, there is no greater gift than to have some familiarity with the humanities so you can have a more global perspective…. It disturbs me when folks concentrate on just one field and limit their minds. This is a gift that the ancients have given to us, and we should embrace it and not be restricted. Humanities can enlarge the perspective of life.
