John C. Bogle Monument
The John C. Bogle Monument
Founder of the Vanguard Group of Investment Companies
The Vanguard Campus, Valley Forge, PA
On the Vanguard campus, on a lawn near the cafeteria, stands a 7′ high bronze statue of Mr. Bogle.
When it was installed, he was sheepish about it. "I'm not sure we should've done it, but there it is," he says. "It's a good likeness, isn't it?"
The Vanguard board commissioned the statue in 1996.
"Mr. Bogle was very humble about it," Mr. Warren says. "I went out to his house to life-cast his face one day, and I was late. He was dressed for a board meeting, but he was very gracious and got down on the kitchen floor, and we made the mold." Mr. Bogle asked him not to prettify his image. "Mr. Bogle had arthritis, but he told me to go ahead and show him the way he really was, so the fingers on the statue are gnarled."

«Благання» () — грузинський радянський драматичний художній фільм 1967 року, знятий режисером Тенгізом Абуладзе на кіностудії «Грузія-фільм» за мотивами поем грузинського поета Важи Пшавелі «Алуда Кетелаурі» і «Гість і господар». Перший фільм в режисерській трилогії («Благання» — «Дерево бажання» — «Покаяння»).

Сюжет
У філософських притчах, що обрамляють поеми, йдеться про ставлення Поета до добра і зла, про необхідність боротьби зі злом, що претендують на владу над людьми та над Поетом.

Загибель героїв, лицарів істини і добра, призводить Поета до думки про непереможність зла. Втомившись від боротьби і поневірянь, Поет складає зброю. І тоді до нього приходять всі його улюблені герої. Вони гасять свічки в чаші з пивом, що, відповідно ритуалу грузинського племені хевсурів, означає зречення. І тільки побачивши, які нещастя і біди несе за собою відмова від боротьби зі злом, Поет знову бере до рук зброю.

For his contributions in fostering research collaboration with Xiamen University which range from teaching protein chemistry and molecular biology, to academic staff visits of Xiamen faculty staff to University of Toronto and NUS, recruitment of graduate students to the Department of Biological Sciences (DBS), and the establishment of the Xiamen Winter Symposia which evolved from the annual Sino-Singapore Symposium.
For establishing the joint Xiamen-NUS Biomedical Research Laboratory, which was funded by Project 111 under the Ministry of Education, China. This programme received its initial funding in year 2008. However, discussions were initiated much earlier, and NUS President Prof Tan Eng Chye witnessed the signing ceremony in year 2004 when he was Dean, Faculty of Science, NUS. The programme was recently renewed again for another 10 years in 2018 with an annual budget of RMB 1 million per year.
The award ceremony was held in conjunction with the 12th Life Sciences Conference where Prof Hiew also gave a talk.
The School of Life Sciences at Xiamen University was founded in 1999 and has evolved over the years to become one of the leading research and teaching centres in China. Prof Hew has been actively engaged since the 1980s where he has been invited to give lectures at Xiamen University from time to time and even until today. He has provided immense support to them through the exchange and sharing of his scientific expertise and experience which served as an impetus for its rapid developments. The strong friendship and collegiality between both institutions were cultivated through Prof Hew's altruistic interest to leverage on the strengths of both institutions and to bring the level of research and life sciences to greater heights.
The partnership with Xiamen has led to the trilateral Memorandum of Understanding with Xiamen University and Tsinghua University since 2005. This resulted in the establishment of an Open Laboratory in Xiamen University, jointly set up between Xiamen University and NUS where various NUS Life Sciences academic staff are engaged in joint research and joint graduate student supervision at this Open Laboratory in the areas of proteomics, bioinformatics, structural biology and bioimaging. The Annual Sino-Singapore Symposia with the Schools and Departments of Life Sciences from most of the top Chinese universities and NUS was also established and in 2010 evolved to the Xiamen Winter Symposium. The DBS Graduate Programme has also recruited at least 15 of their top students over the years.
