*What are the "Humanities"? Broadly speaking, the humanities are disciplines that study human culture. The primary academic disciplines of the Humanities include (but are not limited to) Arts, Classics, History, Languages, Literature, Philosophy, and Religion. Their approach to knowledge differs from the sciences, social sciences, and professional education.

From the Website: porterRod Porter was a singular individual, well-schooled and well-read, liberally educated in the Jesuit tradition, a student of the Classics and of classical languages, a superior writer, and a talented editor. Born in Columbus, Ohio in 1947, he graduated from John Carroll University in 1969 with a B.A. and honors in classics. He died of cancer in 1993. The Friends of Rod Porter ’69 established this annual scholarship in his honor.
