The National Humanities Faculty (NHF) was established by the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1968 to improve the teaching of the humanities in the American schools. To fulfill its obligation, the NHF conducts a program in which humanists--university professors, creative artists, and others--work with selected schools who have applied for help. The NHF currently operates two kinds of programs for the schools, Individual Projects and Thematic Projects. These are reported on for the period 1972-73, as are the NHF Why Series, and Working Papers. A projection of the population upon whom the impact of NHF work has been directly felt is presented, as is a report of the means and forms of evaluation which have taken place. The following appendices constitute the remaining half of the report: Members of the National Humanities Faculty Board of Trustees; NHF Individual Projects and Faculty Who Served 1972-73; Schools Participating in The Questions of Authority Project and Faculty Members for The Questions of Authority Project; NHF Why Series; NHF Working Papers; Distribution of Applications and Inquiries; Excerpts from Teacher and Faculty Reports; Statistical Analysis of Question Authority Space Questionnaire; and Staff Personnel.
