The Foundation was established by a group of concerned Greeks and Philhellenes across America, whose role is to make available to the present as well as secure for the future the historic and cultural role of the Hellenic tradition and language. We strongly believe that we can most effectively accomplish the establishment of <i>"INTERDISCIPLINARY CENTERS OF HELLENIC STUDIES�</i> (ICHS) at various academic institutions on a regular basis across the United States. Each of the ICHS will typically consist of five endowed professors in the following areas:</blockquote> <ul> <ul> <ul> <ul> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li> <font color="#FFFFFF">Professor of Greek Language</font></li> <li> <font color="#FFFFFF">Professor of Greek History</font></li> <li> <font color="#FFFFFF">Professor of Greek Culture</font></li> <li> <font color="#FFFFFF">Professor of Orthodox Religion</font></li> <li> <font color="#FFFFFF">Professor of Greek Philosophy</font></li> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> <p><br>The foundation is situated as a nonprofit organization with its headquarters in the State of Florida. Its scope and patronage are envisioned as national and international with particular emphasis on the bonds that exist between Greece and the United States. <p><font color="#FF0000">AFGLC</font> welcomes people who share with us the conviction that the revival of interest in the Greek Language and the preservation of the Hellenic heritage are of great importance, given the role that both played in the formation of the values and ideas of our beautiful country. It will be a time to rejoice and celebrate when the students in our colleges and universities have once again the opportunity to study the wealth of meanings that has given our western civilization its solid conceptual foundations in philosophy, in language, the arts and the sciences. We must not forget what the famous philosopher Alfred North Whitehead said: "That all philosophy is but a series of footnotes of Plato" or Sir Henry Summer Maine�s significant remark "except for the blind forces of nature nothing moves on this earth that is not Greek in its origin."</ul> <center> <p><br><img SRC="colorbar.gif" height=1 width=600> <p><font size=-1><a href="http://www.afglc.org/index.htm">Back to Home Page</a></font></center> </body> </html>
