THEN
“Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that, a person’s mind, once stretched by some new idea can never again return to its old dimensions. I can find no better words to express my feelings of open-ness and resilience after a year in Durham, England.”
Robert Franklin, Luard Scholar 1973-1974
NOW
“I still use that quote today. I take great pride in being a Luard Scholar and appreciate The English-Speaking Union for sustaining and continuing this work. One person can and does make a difference. Donating to the Luard Scholarship is an investment in individuals who are thought leaders of our future.”
