Princeton university, Council of the humanities

The Council of the Humanities was founded in 1953 at Princeton University to foster teaching, research and intellectual exchange. It brings together students, faculty, guest scholars, writers and artists in a wide variety of venues and sponsors a broad range of interdisciplinary courses, programs and initiatives, including the creative arts, media studies and the Society of Fellows. In the 1960s with a generous grant from the Ford Foundation, the Council of Humanities undertook a project to appraise American humanistic scholarship in the preceding decades. Thirty-five scholars participated, resulting in the fifteen-volume series THE PRINCETON STUDIES: HUMANISTIC SCHOLARSHIP IN AMERICA.
