弗兰克-诺克斯奖学金

shiyi18

Welcome
Frank Knox Fellowships were established in 1945 by Mrs Annie Reid Knox as the Frank Knox Memorial to enable students from the UK, along with those from Australia, Canada and New Zealand, to undertake graduate study at Harvard University.   Knox had a rich and varied career – as a newspaper publisher, a soldier, a vice-presidential candidate, and as US Secretary of the Navy in the 1940s - and was a highly-regarded politician and businessman.   He championed the concept of democracy as government of the people and believed strongly that cross-cultural exchange between Britain and the US was vital for international peace.

In accordance with the Deed of Gift, special regard will be given to personal qualities in the awarding of Frank Knox Fellowships:

“Candidates will be selected on the basis of future promise of leadership. Strength of character, keen mind, a balanced judgment, and devotion to the democratic ideal will be the qualities borne in mind in making the final selection.”

A Knox Fellowship pays full Harvard tuition and mandatory health insurance fees and provides a stipend sufficient to cover the living expenses of a single Fellow for a 10-month academic year.  Knox Fellowship funding is guaranteed for up to two years for students in degree programmes requiring more than one year of study.  The Committee on General Scholarships, which administers the Fellowship, will consider applications for further funding beyond the second year on a case-by-case basis.

A Knox Fellowship award does not guarantee admission to Harvard.  Applicants should therefore submit an admissions application directly with the Harvard Graduate School of their choice. The award of a Knox Fellowship, at interview in January, is contingent upon the applicant gaining admission to the University.

About Frank Knox
Annie Reid Knox understood her late husband’s belief that America’s roots “lie embedded in British soil,” and sought to honor him and his commitment to America, the country he so deeply loved. She accomplished this by making a donation to Harvard University that would provide for an educational exchange between scholars from America and the countries that constituted the British Commonwealth. The gift resulted in the prestigious Frank Knox Memorial Fellowships, which have provided the opportunity for over 400 scholars from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom to study at Harvard since the first fellowship was awarded in 1948. In addition, more than 300 Knox Fellowship recipients from Harvard have studied or conducted research in those countries. According to the wishes of Mrs. Knox, Frank Knox Fellows are selected on the basis of “future promise of leadership, strength, keen mind, a balanced judgment and a devotion to the democratic ideal.”

A Self-made Man
A true product of American idealism, Frank Knox rose from humble beginnings to become a man of the world: from small-town cub reporter to big-time newspaper publisher; from gubernatorial campaign manager to Vice Presidential candidate; from soldier to Secretary of the Navy. Even as a youth, he exemplified the practicality and enterprising spirit of the “self-made man.”

Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1874, he moved with his family at age 7 to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where his father ran a grocery store. By age 11, he was peddling newspapers to help with the family expenses. Before finishing high school he left Michigan and supported himself as a salesman. When the panic of 1893 cost him his job and prompted him to return to Michigan, he enrolled at Alma College and paid his way by working various odd jobs — all while earning high marks and distinguishing himself as an adept football player.

With the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Knox, a college senior, enlisted in the Army and joined Theodore Roosevelt’s famous Rough Riders. From then on he was a faithful disciple of the burly military man and future president. Fourteen years later, Knox would prove instrumental in drawing Roosevelt into the historic “Bull Moose” campaign.

Journalist at Heart
After returning to Michigan and marrying his college sweetheart, Annie Reid, Knox landed a job as a reporter at the Herald and rapidly climbed the ranks to city editor, then circulation manager. Knox remained a staunch newspaperman for the next four decades. His early tenure as publisher of the Sault Sainte Marie Weekly News and, later, The Manchester Union Leader, not only afforded him solid publishing experience but also fueled his commitment to progressive Republican politics and reform.

By 1927, Knox had become General Manager of all 27 of William Randolph Hearst’s dailies. Four years later, he had accumulated enough savings to retire comfortably. Yet according to Fortune magazine, Knox was a poor candidate for retirement. He had swallowed whole Teddy Roosevelt’s “doctrine of the strenuous life.”

Knox’s most impressive achievement in the newspaper world was yet to come — as publisher of the Chicago Daily News, which he actively managed from 1931 until his appointment as Secretary of the Navy in 1940. Throughout his tenure at the News he remained faithful to his early ideals of political rectitude, exposing Chicago rackets and corrupt politicians and airing his misgivings about the New Deal in his own editorials. Those editorials expressed such vehement opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s domestic policies that they cost the News thousands of readers — a predictable outcome in overwhelmingly Democratic Chicago. Still, Knox continued to voice his opinions, going so far as to call FDR’s managed economy “alien and un-American” and “a complete flop.”

A Politician is Born
In the fall of 1934, Knox found himself raising money for the Republican Party and was such a success that he was invited to speak at meetings throughout the Midwest. Before long, so many people were saying Knox would make a good Republican presidential candidate that it seemed a likely possibility. When the delegates assembled at the 1936 Republican National Convention, however, it was clear that Governor Alfred Landon of Kansas was the overwhelming favorite for the presidential nomination. Rather than foster a split in the party, Knox ordered his name withdrawn from the race. The next day he became the governor’s unanimously approved running mate.

The Navy Years
Although FDR swept the 1936 election, at the end of that term he defied partisan biases and appointed Knox Secretary of the Navy. The appointment was a testament to Knox’s impressive capabilities and reputation, especially given his previously outspoken opposition to the New Deal. Yet for all his antagonism toward Roosevelt’s domestic reforms, Knox was an enthusiastic supporter of the president’s foreign policy. Since 1936, he had been watching with increasing alarm the political developments around the world. After Hitler annexed Austria in 1938, Knox pressed for approval of the president’s billion-dollar naval expansion plan. When war finally erupted in Europe in 1939, Knox wrote front-page editorials calling for widespread support of Roosevelt’s foreign policy decisions, the repeal of the neutrality laws, and a bipartisan cabinet.

Knox with Naval OfficersImpressed by Knox’s opinions and aware of the leveraging potential of a bipartisan cabinet, Roosevelt offered Knox the position of secretary twice before he finally accepted. In response to those who questioned her husband’s motives, Mrs. Knox explained that for him, “patriotism was a living fire of unquestioned belief and purpose.” He had cut short his college career to fight in the Spanish-American War, and at age 43 he had left a thriving newspaper business to enlist in the Army during WWI. Frank Knox had made considerable sacrifices to serve his country, and he would continue to do so, even at the expense of his friends, business and political reputation. Knox himself was frequently in the newspapers, not least because of his bold and often controversial public statements. Early on he toed a fine line between asserting his pro-British, anti-Axis stance and alienating die-hard American isolationists. By 1941, he told a governor’s conference that “the time to use our Navy to clear the Atlantic of the German menace is at hand,” infuriating isolationists with his aggressive pronouncements. Some members of Congress went so far as to demand that he either resign or be impeached. Still, he gained support from many others, including Roosevelt. In fact, Knox’s assertiveness may have helped the president gauge public response to interventionist views.

Knox presided over the department at a pivotal moment in its history. Before the war, he had written magazine articles advocating a naval system based on the construction and maintenance of a two-ocean Navy. With the passing of the “Two-Ocean Navy” bill just one week after he took office, Knox’s vision became policy. By the time of his death in 1944, the U.S. Navy had become the most powerful in the world. Its development was so rapid that within four years, Navy personnel had increased from 190,000 members to well over 3 million. To the 385 combat ships it owned in 1940, the Navy added nine battleships, 19 first-line aircraft carriers, more than 500 destroyers and escort ships, over 100 submarines, and thousands of amphibious ships and other naval craft.

With war raging in Europe and the British in desperate need of naval aid, Knox became deeply immersed in foreign affairs. Three weeks after Knox took office, the British ambassador approached him directly for help. The negotiations that ensued paved the way for the Lend-Lease Act of 1941. Not only was Knox instrumental in conceiving the destroyers-for-bases exchange, but he also played crucial roles in both persuading Congress to pass the bill and implementing its provisions.

One of Knox’s more heavily publicized contributions as secretary was his investigation into the Pearl Harbor bombing. Three days after the attack he flew to the base to interview local authorities and assess the damage. Knox’s trip made big news. In his report he concluded that the attack succeeded “due to a lack of a state of readiness” by both the Army and Navy, an assessment which Secretary of War Henry Stimson publicly acknowledged.

An International Outlook
In addition to his trips to Pearl Harbor, Knox traveled the world to inspect naval units and observe battlefront activities. In the last two and a half years of his life, he spent 802 hours in the air and flew 141,000 miles. Besides examining naval installations in Europe, North Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific and the continental U.S., he traveled to Brazil in the role of “goodwill ambassador” after Brazil declared war on Germany and Italy in 1942. Knox also believed strongly that apart from facilitating international cooperation, he and the other civilian secretaries should “get out in the field and see actual conditions.” He argued that such trips elicited “far more intelligent” decision-making among civilian leaders and served as “a definite aid” to the morale of the troops.

Secnav Frank Knox and Sponsor Mrs. Annie Reid Knox, at the launching ceremony, Newport News Shopbuilding & Drydock Co., 1943Knox’s trips across the globe enhanced his vision of democracy within an international context. He was especially adamant about the continuing cooperation between the United States and Great Britain, and in 1943 he toured the United Kingdom and the North African-Mediterranean theater of operations — a trip designed as much to foster good relations as to inspect naval units. In a press conference following his return to the States, Knox praised the mutual support between America and Great Britain in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. That same year he announced to the English Speaking Union in Chicago that “all means to preserve the peace will fail [unless they are] founded on Anglo-American cooperation.”

Knox’s belief in the importance of U.S. and British relations suggests the motivating principles behind the Knox Fellowship. In a speech he delivered to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate, he elaborated on the strong ties between the United States and the U.K.: “Our social, our economic, and our political systems were brought to the new world many years ago as transplantations from the British system. Close personal contacts and a constant exchange of ideas between the American and the British peoples has nourished the sturdy growth of American national life, whose roots lie embedded in British soil.” When Knox died of a heart attack in the spring of 1944, flags were brought to half-mast not only in America but on all British and Canadian vessels as well. His extensive travels as Secretary of the Navy had taken a heavy toll on his normally robust health. “Truly he put his country first,” the president announced to a grieving nation. “We shall greatly miss his ability and friendship.”

Knox had come a long way from his cub-reporting life in Grand Rapids. Yet through it all — whether as soldier, journalist, publisher or government executive — he remained honest, forthright, and committed to high ideals. By the time Knox died, he had attained not only shrewd business sense and political savvy but something far more significant: a global vision.



关于弗兰克-诺克斯
安妮-里德-诺克斯理解她已故丈夫的信念，即美国的根 "扎在英国的土地上"，并试图纪念他和他对美国的承诺，他是如此深爱着这个国家。她通过向哈佛大学捐款，为美国和英联邦国家的学者提供教育交流机会，从而实现了这个目标。这项捐赠产生了著名的弗兰克-诺克斯纪念奖学金，自1948年颁发第一笔奖学金以来，该奖学金为来自澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰和英国的400多名学者提供了在哈佛学习的机会。此外，有300多名来自哈佛的诺克斯奖学金获得者在这些国家学习或进行研究。根据诺克斯夫人的意愿，弗兰克-诺克斯研究员的选拔依据是 "未来的领导潜力、实力、敏锐的头脑、平衡的判断力和对民主理想的奉献"。

一个自力更生的人
作为美国理想主义的真正产物，弗兰克-诺克斯从卑微的起点成长为一个世界性的人物：从小镇的小记者到大时代的报纸出版商；从州长竞选经理到副总统候选人；从士兵到海军部长。甚至在青年时期，他就体现了 "自食其力 "的实用性和进取精神。

他1874年出生于马萨诸塞州的波士顿，7岁时随家人搬到密歇根州的大急流城，他的父亲在那里经营一家杂货店。11岁时，他开始兜售报纸，以帮助解决家庭开支。在完成高中学业之前，他离开密歇根州，以销售员的身份养活自己。当1893年的恐慌使他失去工作并促使他回到密歇根州时，他进入阿尔玛学院，通过打各种零工来支付学费--同时获得高分，并作为一名优秀的足球运动员脱颖而出。

随着美西战争的爆发，大学四年级的诺克斯应征入伍，加入了西奥多-罗斯福著名的粗野骑士队。从那时起，他成为这位魁梧的军人和未来总统的忠实弟子。14年后，诺克斯被证明在吸引罗斯福参与历史性的 "牛魔王 "运动方面发挥了重要作用。

心中的记者
回到密歇根州并与他的大学女友安妮-里德结婚后，诺克斯在《先驱报》找到了一份记者的工作，并迅速爬上了城市编辑的位置，然后是发行经理。在接下来的四十年里，诺克斯一直是一名坚定的新闻工作者。他早期担任《索圣玛丽周报》和后来的《曼彻斯特联合领袖报》的出版商，不仅为他提供了坚实的出版经验，而且还推动了他对进步的共和党政治和改革的承诺。

到1927年，诺克斯已成为威廉-伦道夫-赫斯特旗下所有27家日报的总经理。四年后，他已经积累了足够的储蓄，可以舒适地退休。然而，据《财富》杂志报道，诺克斯是一个可怜的退休人选。他已经完全吞下了泰迪-罗斯福的 "艰苦生活的理论"。

诺克斯在报纸界最令人印象深刻的成就还在后面--作为《芝加哥每日新闻》的发行人，他从1931年开始积极管理该报，直到1940年被任命为海军部长。在《新闻报》的整个任期内，他一直忠于他早期的政治正直的理想，揭露芝加哥的黑帮和腐败的政客，并在自己的社论中表达他对新政的疑虑。这些社论表达了对富兰克林-D-罗斯福国内政策的强烈反对，使《新闻报》失去了成千上万的读者--这在民主党占压倒性优势的芝加哥是可以预见的结果。尽管如此，诺克斯仍然继续发表自己的观点，甚至称罗斯福的管理型经济是 "外来的、非美国的"，是 "完全失败的"。

一个政治家诞生了
1934年秋天，诺克斯发现自己在为共和党筹款，而且非常成功，他被邀请在整个中西部的会议上发言。不久，许多人都说诺克斯会成为一名优秀的共和党总统候选人，这似乎是一种可能。然而，当代表们聚集在1936年的共和党全国大会上时，很明显，堪萨斯州州长阿尔弗雷德-兰登是总统提名的压倒性热门。诺克斯没有促成党内的分裂，而是下令将自己的名字从竞选中撤回。第二天，他成为州长一致批准的竞选伙伴。

海军时代
虽然FDR在1936年的选举中获胜，但在该任期结束时，他不顾党派偏见，任命诺克斯为海军部长。这一任命证明了诺克斯令人印象深刻的能力和声誉，特别是考虑到他之前对新政的直言不讳的反对。然而，尽管他对罗斯福的国内改革持反对态度，但诺克斯却是总统外交政策的热心支持者。自1936年以来，他一直在关注世界各地的政治发展，并对此感到越来越震惊。1938年希特勒吞并奥地利后，诺克斯力主批准总统的数十亿美元的海军扩张计划。当1939年欧洲战争最终爆发时，诺克斯撰写了头版社论，呼吁广泛支持罗斯福的外交政策决定，废除中立法，并建立两党内阁。

诺克斯与海军军官的合影被诺克斯的观点所打动，并意识到两党内阁的杠杆潜力，罗斯福在最终接受之前两次向诺克斯提出了秘书的职位。对于那些质疑她丈夫动机的人，诺克斯夫人解释说，对他来说，"爱国主义是一种不容置疑的信念和目的的活火"。他缩短了自己的大学生涯，参加了美西战争，43岁时，他离开了繁荣的报业，在一战期间应征入伍。弗兰克-诺克斯为报效祖国做出了相当大的牺牲，他将继续这样做，甚至不惜牺牲他的朋友、生意和政治声誉。诺克斯本人经常出现在报纸上，这主要是因为他的公开声明很大胆，而且经常有争议。早期，他在坚持其亲英、反轴心的立场和疏远死硬的美国孤立主义者之间划出了一条细线。到了1941年，他在一个州长会议上说，"利用我们的海军清除大西洋上的德国威胁的时候到了"，他的激进言论激怒了孤立主义者。一些国会议员甚至要求他要么辞职，要么被弹劾。不过，他还是得到了许多人的支持，包括罗斯福。事实上，诺克斯的强硬态度可能有助于总统衡量公众对干预主义观点的反应。

诺克斯在该部门历史上的一个关键时刻主持了该部门的工作。战前，他曾在杂志上发表文章，倡导以建设和维护两洋海军为基础的海军体系。随着 "两洋海军 "法案在他上任后仅一周就获得通过，诺克斯的设想变成了政策。到他1944年去世时，美国海军已成为世界上最强大的海军。它的发展是如此迅速，以至于在四年内，海军人员从19万名成员增加到远远超过300万。在1940年拥有的385艘作战舰艇的基础上，海军又增加了9艘战列舰、19艘一线航空母舰、500多艘驱逐舰和护卫舰、100多艘潜艇，以及数千艘两栖舰和其他海军舰艇。

随着战争在欧洲肆虐，英国迫切需要海军援助，诺克斯开始深深地沉浸在外交事务中。诺克斯上任三周后，英国大使直接向他寻求帮助。随后的谈判为1941年的《租借法案》铺平了道路。诺克斯不仅在构思驱逐舰换基地方面发挥了作用，而且在说服国会通过该法案和执行其规定方面也发挥了关键作用。

作为部长，诺克斯更多被宣传的贡献之一是他对珍珠港爆炸事件的调查。袭击发生三天后，他飞往基地采访地方当局并评估损失。诺克斯的行程成为大新闻。在他的报告中，他得出结论，袭击成功 "是由于陆军和海军缺乏准备状态"，战争部长亨利-史汀生公开承认这一评估。

除了前往珍珠港之外，诺克斯还到世界各地视察海军部队并观察战线活动。在他生命的最后两年半里，他在空中飞行了802小时，飞行了141000英里。除了考察欧洲、北非、加勒比海、太平洋和美国大陆的海军设施，他还在1942年巴西对德国和意大利宣战后以 "亲善大使 "的身份前往巴西。诺克斯还坚信，除了促进国际合作外，他和其他文职秘书应该 "走到实地，看看实际情况"。他认为，这种旅行在文职领导人中引起了 "更明智的 "决策，并对部队的士气起到了 "明确的帮助"。

弗兰克-诺克斯海军部长和赞助人安妮-里德-诺克斯夫人，在下水仪式上，纽波特纽斯造船和干船坞公司，1943年诺克斯的全球旅行增强了他在国际背景下的民主愿景。他特别坚持美国和英国之间的持续合作，1943年他巡视了英国和北非-地中海战区--这次旅行既是为了促进良好关系，也是为了视察海军部队。在回国后的一次新闻发布会上，诺克斯赞扬了美国和英国在大西洋和地中海地区的相互支持。同年，他向芝加哥的英语联盟宣布，"所有维护和平的手段都将失败，[除非它们]建立在英美合作之上"。

诺克斯对美英关系的重要性的信念表明了诺克斯奖学金背后的动机原则。在他向参议院外交事务委员会发表的演讲中，他阐述了美国和英国之间的紧密联系："我们的社会、经济和政治制度是多年前从英国制度移植到新世界的。美国和英国人民之间密切的个人接触和不断的思想交流，滋养了美国民族生活的茁壮成长，其根源就在于英国的土壤"。当诺克斯在1944年春天因心脏病发作去世时，不仅在美国，而且在所有英国和加拿大的船只上都下了半旗。他作为海军部长进行的大量旅行使他一向强健的身体受到严重影响。"他确实把他的国家放在第一位，"总统向一个悲伤的国家宣布。"我们将非常怀念他的能力和友谊。"

诺克斯从他在大急流城的幼童报告生活中走了很长一段路。然而，在这一切中--无论是作为士兵、记者、出版商还是政府官员--他都保持着诚实、直率和对崇高理想的承诺。在诺克斯去世时，他不仅获得了精明的商业意识和政治智慧，还获得了更重要的东西：全球视野。
