Bradley Brothers' Legacy

6

I n 1903, Lynde and Harry Bradley established a new business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It took courage and confidence for them to risk resources in a new venture, based only on their judgment of what was and their

vision of what could be. The Bradleys’ confidence was bolstered by the knowledge that in America, not only were they free to start a business, they could also begin again if they failed. The Bradleys, however, would not fail. Their business grew to become the Allen-Bradley Company.

When the Allen-Bradley Company was acquired by Rockwell International Corporation in 1985, a significant portion of the proceeds was dedicated to establishing The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

Although it has no direct ties to the Allen-Bradley Company, the purpose of the Foundation is to commemorate Lynde and Harry Bradley by preserving and extending the principles and philosophy by which they lived and upon which they built the company.

As their efforts succeeded, their business grew and eventually extended far beyond its Milwaukee headquarters. Lynde and Harry Bradley remained devoted to the city where they began their enterprise and in which they lived and worked for so many years. Their foundation will continue the Bradleys’ interest in helping to improve the quality of life in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

The Bradleys lived and worked according to several philosophical principles. They believed that, over time, the consequences of ideas were more decisive than the force of political or economic movements. They recognized the interdependence of human endeavors – cultural, educational, philosophical, economic – and they rejected exclusionaryemphasis on any single element. The brothers had an abiding belief in the dignity and decency of each person. They felt that only in an environment of political and economic freedom could individuals develop their talents, hone their skills and intellects, and contribute to the improvement of the human condition. The success of the Allen-Bradley Company stands as eloquent testimony to the enduring quality of these principles.

The Bradley brothers were committed to preserving and defending the tradition of free representative government and private enterprise that has enabled the American nation and, in a larger sense, the entire Western world to flourish intellectually and economically. The Bradleys believed that the good society is a free society. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is likewise devoted to strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles and values that sustain and nurture it. Its programs support limited, competent government; a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity; and a vigorous defense at home and abroad of American ideas and institutions. In addition, recognizing that responsible self-government depends on enlightened citizens and informed public opinion, the Foundation supports scholarly studies and academic achievement.

Current Program Interests

7

T he Foundation’s Board, on occasion, undertakes to define and redefine its current program interests. At present, the Foundation aims to encourage projects that focus on cultivating a renewed, healthier, and

more vigorous sense of citizenship among the American people, and among peoples of other nations, as well.

The free society so central to the convictions and success of the Bradley brothers rests upon and is intended to nurture a solid foundation of competent, self-governing citizens, who are understood to be fully capable of and personally responsible for making the major political, economic, and moral decisions that shape their own lives, and the lives of their children. Such decisions are made on the basis of common sense, received wisdom, traditional values, and everyday moral understandings, which are in turn nurtured and passed on to future generations by healthy families, churches, neighborhoods, voluntary associations, schools, and other value-generating “mediating structures.”

This expansive understanding of citizenship is being challenged today, however, by contemporary forces and ideas that regard individuals more as passive and helpless victims of powerful external forces than as personally responsible, self-governing citizens, and that foster a deep skepticism about citizenly values and mediating structures. Consequently, authority and accountability tend to flow away from citizens toward centralized, bureaucratic, “service-providing” institutions that claim to be peculiarly equipped to cope with those external forces on behalf of their “clients.” This systematic disenfranchisement of the citizen, and the consequent erosion of citizenly mediating structures, pose grave threats to the free society that the Bradley bothers cherished.

In light of these considerations, projects likely to be supported by the Foundation will generally share these assumptions:

H They will treat free men and women as genuinely self-governing, personally responsible citizens, not as victims or clients.

H They will aim to restore the intellectual and cultural legitimacy of citizenly common sense, the received wisdom of experience, everyday morality, and personal character, refurbishing their roles as reliable guideposts of everyday life.

H They will seek to reinvigorate and reempower the traditional, local institutions – families, schools, churches, and neighborhoods – that provide training in and room for the exercise of genuine citizenship, that pass on everyday morality to the next generation, and that cultivate personal character.

H They will encourage decentralization of power and accountability away from centralized, bureaucratic, national institutions back to the states, localities, and revitalized mediating structures where citizenship is more fully realized.

Current Program Interests

8

I n addition to these thematic considerations, eligible projects will exhibit these features:

H They may address any arena of public life – economics, politics, culture, or civil society – where citizenship as here understood is an important issue. It is important to note that our view of citizenship is not primarily concerned with promoting civics education, voter awareness or turn-out, or similar activities narrowly focused on voting and elections.

H They may address the problem of citizenship at home or abroad, where the fall of many (and the perpetuation of some) totalitarian regimes has made this issue particularly urgent.

H In light of our emphasis on decentralization, and considering the Foundation’s deep roots in Milwaukee and Wisconsin – areas with proud traditions of innovation and experimentation in democratic citizenship – community and state projects will be of particular interest to us. Such projects will aim to improve the life of the community through increasing cultural and educational opportunities, grass-roots economic development, and effective and humane social and health services, reflecting where possible the Foundation’s focus on the resuscitation of citizenship.

H Projects may be actual demonstrations of the resuscitation of citizenship in the economic, political, cultural, or social realms; policy research and writing about approaches encouraging that resuscitation; academic research and writing that explore the intellectual roots of citizenship, its decline, and prospects for revival; and popular writing and media projects that illustrate for a broader public audience the themes of citizenship.

Much of the creative and energetic leadership essential for a renewal of citizenship will be supplied by gifted individuals, who must receive challenging and stimulating programs and instruction at all levels of their education. The Foundation supports programs that research the needs of gifted children and techniques of providing education for students with superior skills and/or intelligence. Research programs investigating how learning occurs in gifted children and demonstration programs of instruction are to be considered.

Grantmaking Policies

9

T he programs and funding decisions of the Bradley Foundation are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. At the discretion of the Board, the policies set forth herein will be modified in response to

changing conditions and priorities.

The guidelines established by the Board of Directors will normally preclude funding for unspecified and undetailed overhead costs. No funds will be authorized for fees payable to fund-raising counsel. In addition, grants without significant import to the Foundation’s areas of interest will only under special conditions be considered for endowment or deficit-financing purposes.

The Foundation will:

H Normally award grants only to organizations and institutions exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and publicly supported under Section 509(a)(1), (2) or (3);

H Favor projects that are not normally financed by public tax funds;

H Consider requests for building projects and limit grants to a fraction of the total cost.

Grantees must possess the resources to properly administer grants from the Foundation. The Foundation conducts an annual evaluation of grants, and grantees are asked to provide periodic reports on the progress of their work.

Application Procedure

10

T wo steps are required in the application process. First, the applicant should prepare a brief letter ofinquiry to the Grant Program, describing the applying organization and its intended project. If the

Foundation determines the project to be within the current program interests as determined by its Board of Directors, the applicant will be invited to submit a formal proposal.

Second, if invited to submit a formal proposal, the applicant should submit another letter. It should include a more-thorough, yet still concise description of the project, its objectives and significance, and the qualifications of the groups and individuals involved in it. It should also include a project budget, the specific amount being sought from the Bradley Foundation, and a list of other sources of support, philanthropic or otherwise.

The applicant should submit a copy of the Internal Revenue Service letter confirming the applying entity's tax-exempt and public-support status under Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code.

Should the Foundation's program staff find it necessary or desirable, it may arrange a meeting with the applicant after the receipt of a written proposal. After the staff comprehensively reviews proposals, the Board acts on them. All grantmaking authority rests with the Board.

The Board of Directors meets four times a year. To be considered, full proposals should be submitted by February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. In most cases, staff is able to complete its reviews of proposals in time for the next scheduled Board meeting. Occasionally, it is not, or Board consideration is deferred to a later meeting.

Because of the necessarily limited resources of the Foundation, many worthwhile projects cannot be supported, of course. The demands on the Foundation’s resources also limit the size of particular grants and the ability of the Foundation to make commitments for extended periods.

Bradley Prizes 2011

Milwaukee’s Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation awarded its 2011 Bradley Prizes to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, New York University law professor Richard A. Epstein, Harvard University political scientist Harvey C. Mansfield, and Carnegie Mellon University economist Allan H. Meltzer in an inspiring and entertaining ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., on May 11. The $250,000 prizes recognize and celebrate the hon-orees’ achievements in areas consistent with the Foundation’s mission – the promotion and defense of liberal democracy, democratic capitalism, and American ideas and institutions at home and abroad.

Jeb Bush was elected the 43rd governor of the state of Florida in 1998 and re-elected in 2002. He is founding Chair-man and President of the Foundation for Excellence in Education, a national organization dedicated to improving educational quality. Governor Bush is also president of the consulting busi-ness Jeb Bush and Associates. In 1987 and 1988, Governor Bush served as Secretary of Commerce under Florida’s 40th governor, Bob Martinez. In 1995, he founded the policy group Foundation for Florida’s Future which, with the Greater Miami Urban League, established the state’s first charter school, Liberty City Charter School. Governor Bush also co-authored Profiles in Character (1996), a book recounting the stories of fourteen of Florida’s quiet civic heroes. During his two terms as Florida’s executive, Governor Bush championed major

reform of elementary and secondary education. In 2010, he partnered with former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise to create the Digital Learning Council. Under their leadership, the Council has developed a blueprint for local, state, and federal officials to integrate high-quality digital learning into education.

Richard A. Epstein is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at New York University School of Law and the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace. He is also Senior Lecturer and the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor, Emeritus, at the University of Chicago Law School. Professor Epstein has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1985 and a Senior Fellow of the Center for Clinical Medical Legal Studies at the University of Chicago Medical School since 1983. From 1981 to 1991, Pro-fessor Epstein served as editor of the Journal of Legal Studies and, from 1991 to 2001, of the Journal of Law and Economics. In 2005, Legal Affairs maga-zine named him one of the twenty leading legal thinkers in the United States. Professor Epstein is known for his scholarship in a broad range of constitutional, economic, historical, and philosophical subjects. His writings have appeared in professional, policy, and popular publications, and he is the author of a number of books, including Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain (1985); Simple Rules for a Complex World (1995); Torts (1999); and Skepticism and Freedom: A Modern Case for Classical Liberalism (2003).

Bradley Symposium

36

What So Proudly We Hail: The American Soul in Story, Speech, and Song -- edited by Hudson Institute senior fellow Amy A. Kass, the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research’s Leon R. Kass, and Diana Schaub of Loyola College in Maryland -- addresses issues of national identity, the American character, the virtues and aspirations of civic life, and

the problem of making a national one out of the multicultural many. The chapter devoted to the last subject contains a moving speech by Theodore Roosevelt, which powerfully argues that all new immigrants must be assimilated into the idea and practice of "True Americanism."

The 2011 Bradley Symposium, "True Americanism: What It Is and Why It Matters," revisited Roosevelt's speech and the issues it raises. What, if anything, defines "True Americanism" today? Why and for what purposes does it matter?

The symposium featured a panel discussion among prominent political figures and scholars, led by Amy and Leon Kass.

The panelists included Bradley Prize recipients Robert P. George of Princeton University, columnist Charles Krauthammer, and Harvey Mansfield of Harvard University. Others on the panel were Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Frank Hanna of Hanna Capital, Daniel Henninger of The Wall Street Journal, Wilfred McClay of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Paul Singer of Elliott Associates, and Juan Williams of Fox News.

The event was covered by C-SPAN and is viewable online, as is a full, edited transcript, at www.bradleyfdn.org.
