1. We receive on a regular basis a number of requests for support of arts and cultural projects
and except for singularly notable exceptions (the proposed education wing of the Nigerian
Museum and OKIKE come instantly in mind) our response is a proforma rejection of
interest and support. I think that it would be useful to know somewhat more than we now
do about this important field. I'm not proposing that we formally establish a new and large
scale line of program activity in the arts I do think though that if we had a kind of "state of
the arts" (literally and figuratively) paper which Wole [Soyinka] is uniquely capable of
preparing, we would be in a much better position to make discriminating choices for
program actions were we inclined to do so. Haskell Ward

and Melvin Fox from Haskell Ward, 27/07/1975, 76-334, Ford Foundation Archives.
