Whereas the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is an 
august, quintessentially American institution founded by 
John Adams and other scholar-patriots during our Na-
tion’s brave struggle for Independence; 
Whereas the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 
chaired by Louis W. Cabot and led by President Leslie

the great challenges and concerns of the day, from 
science and technology policy to global security; social

Whereas members of the American Academy of Arts and 
Sciences include more than 250 Nobel laureates, some 
100 Pulitzer Prize winners, and the world’s most cele-
brated artists and performers; and

independent, nonpartisan research institution, exhibits a 
standard for civil discourse to which organizations every-
where can aspire: Now, therefore, be it
