[Ohiogift] Priorities, The Concord Review, and education

[Art Snyder]

 Friends:

I'm always puzzled by the lack of support for serious academics, as with The Concord Review and its singular distinction as the world's foremost journal for non-fiction writers in high school, although I did read of one donor this week giving $400 million to Harvard's engineering school (which, coincidentally and non-curiously, will be renamed for the benefactor).

Perhaps benefactors like this could give, oh, let's say $399 million to America's wealthiest school, and a token $1 million split among resources like The Concord Review and, I'm sure, others serving K-12 students.

In the meantime, TCR head Will Fitzhugh might have to consider renaming his journal The Hedge-Funders Concord Review, or maybe The McDonald's Concord Review or The Toyota Concord Review.

Best wishes, anyway, to those who, like Will, have their priorities straight.
