LARGEST DONATION EVER TO LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Billionaire John Kluge is donating $60 million to the Library of Congress. “Kluge’s money is the largest single gift in the institution’s 200-year history. The donation, according to a source close to the project, will be used to establish the John W. Kluge Center for scholars and a $1 million annual prize for lifetime achievement in scholarly endeavors. The center will be located in the library’s Jefferson Building and, like a university, will have endowed chairs in a number of fields.” – Washington Post
