The Center also comprises The Kluge Scholars ' Council, a body of distinguished scholars, convened by the Librarian of Congress, to advise on matters related to scholarship at the Library, with special attention to the Kluge Center and the Kluge Prize.

Resident in the Kluge Center will be Senior Distinguished Scholars, occupying the Kluge Chairs, post-doctoral Fellows, and such other appropriate categories as the Librarian may designate.

The Kluge Chair-holders will be chosen by the Librarian of Congress in consultation with a distinguished Scholars ' Council composed of leading and wide-ranging scholars.

Kluge post-doctoral Fellows will have an opportunity to discuss their research with the Kluge Scholars and to explore possibilities for intellectual collaboration.

From time to time by invitation, a few Distinguished Visiting Scholars, may also be asked to spend shorter periods of time at the Kluge Center pursuing special research projects.

The Kluge Center will also accommodate as space is available other resident Scholars and Fellows working in the Library's collections.

Members of the Scholars ' Council, as described in the appended Charter of the John W. Kluge Center, and holders of the Kluge Chairs will be among those offering recommendations to the Librarian of Congress concerning recipients of the Kluge Prize.

On April 11, 2007, Columbia University's President Lee C. Bollinger announced a $ 400 million pledge from Kluge, which the university will receive upon the donor's death.

The Kluge Center will seek to be catalytic rather than bureaucratic and to deepen rather than merely recycle the work of the many other fine institutions and individuals in the Washington, D. C. area who also seek to narrow the gap between thinkers and doers.

There will be five broadly defined Kluge Chairs, the occupants of which will be people of great scholarly accomplishment chosen solely for their intellectual and communicative abilities and free to pursue their own research in the Library's collections.

The Kluge Center will welcome and accommodate other distinguished Chairs in the Library of Congress, including three that have already been established:

The Kluge Center will also accommodate at any given time up to a dozen Fellows, pursuing particularly at the post-doctoral level resident research usually for periods from five to ten months.

The selection of a diverse group of Fellows will be by competition in the human sciences, with some emphasis upon the five broadly defined categories of the Kluge Chairs as set out above.

Applicants for Kluge postdoctoral Fellows will be required to provide a statement of research, an indication of the ways in which a variety of Library of Congress collections will be used for the proposed research, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference from those who know the applicant and are able to evaluate the proposed research.

The Kluge Center will be responsible for awarding the John W. Kluge Prize in the Human Sciences.

Metromedia was owned by John Kluge, a billionaire reputed to be the richest man in America, and an old friend of Krim.

On October 30, 1942 Kluge was the beneficiary of an enormous bribe from Hitler who mailed a letter of good wishes together with a huge cheque totaling 250, 000 marks made out to him from the German treasury and a promise that whatever improving his estate might cost could be billed out to the German treasury.

( These developments of mesmerism were based upon a medical theory proposed in 1807 be the respected physician Johann Christian Reil and were adopted by Carl Alexander Ferdinand Kluge in an influential textbook of animal magnetism published in 1811 ).

: Not to be confused with Alexandra Kluge, his sister and a film actress.

Von Kluge suggested that there was no chance of success, and the German forces in Normandy should retire to the Seine River, pivoting on the intact defences south of Caen, but on 4 August, Hitler categorically ordered the attack to be launched.

Von Kluge ordered the attack to be mounted on the night of 6 / 7 August.

Von Kluge — who feared he was about to be implicated by the Gestapo in the July 20 Plot — acquiesced in this apparently suicidal order.

On June 29 von Kluge ordered that, ‘ Women in uniform are to be shot .’

On October 30, 1942, Kluge was the beneficiary of an enormous bribe from Hitler who mailed a letter of good wishes together with a huge cheque made out to him from the German treasury and a promise that whatever improving his estate might cost could be billed out to the German treasury.

Friderich Kluge ( 1896 ) accordingly suggested that the line be restored as hyrde ic < s > þ </ s > Sigeneow wæs Sæwelan cwen, rendering the Norse names in Old English forms.

In addition, his gift established a $ 1 million dollar Kluge Prize to be given in recognition of a lifetime of achievement in the human sciences.

Second, the " Kluge paper feeder " was an automatic paper feeder for printing presses, which was first manufactured by Brandtjen and Kluge in 1919.

Another hypothesis for the origin of the term dates back to 1907, " when John Brandtjen convinced two young machinists from Oslo, Norway named Abel and Eneval Kluge to service and install presses for his fledgling printing equipment firm " ( see external link, history of the Kluge Platen Press ).

In 1919, the brothers invented an automatic feeder for printing presses which, by 1929, allowed Brandtjen & Kluge to move into a 3-story building in St. Paul, MN.

Given that the feeder bore the Kluge name, it seems reasonable that it became a byword for overly-complex mechanical contraptions.

His works Der Mond ( The Moon, 1939 ) and Die Kluge ( The Wise Woman, 1943 ), for example, he referred to as " Märchenoper " (" fairytale operas ").

He was relieved of his command on 25 December 1941 after Feldmarschall Günther von Kluge, not noted for his ability to face up to Hitler, claimed that Guderian had ordered a withdrawal in contradiction of Hitler's " stand fast " order.

Working with low budgets, and influenced by the French New Wave, such directors as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Alexander Kluge, Volker Schlöndorff, Margarethe von Trotta, Hans-Jürgen Syberberg and Wim Wenders made names for themselves and produced a number of ' small ' motion pictures that caught the attention of art house audiences, and enabled these directors ( particularly Wenders and Schlöndorff ) into better-financed productions which were backed by the big US studios.

Finally, Kluge triumphed on May 20, 1988, when he bought out Redstone's share in Orion for $ 78 million.

Despite these two bright spots, the bulk of Orion's offerings fared poorly, and Kluge, who had kept the studio afloat through periodic injections of cash, announced that his stake in the company was up for sale.

Prior to attending Columbia University, Kluge went to Wayne State University for two years.

Kluge joined the company as its board chairman and largest stockholder in 1958, acquiring the bulk of his shares from founder Allen B. DuMont for about USD $ 6, 000, 000.

In 1986, Kluge sold the Metromedia television stations to the 20th Century Fox film studio, which is now controlled by the News Corporation, for a reported USD $ 4 billion.

In retaliation for a lawsuit brought by Paul Winchell, who sought the rights to his children's television program, " Winchell-Mahoney Time ", Metromedia management, under orders from Kluge, destroyed the video tapes.

Acknowledging the scholarship funds that enabled him to attend, Kluge gave more than $ 110 million to Columbia University between 1987 and 1993, primarily to endow financial aid for undergraduates from underprivileged backgrounds.

Patricia Kluge has since filed for bankruptcy after taking on too much leverage during the recession.

Kluge decided that the child needed medical treatment instead of a Guinness world record for most cards.

On 29 November 2004, he was awarded with the second John W. Kluge Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Human Sciences ( shared with Jaroslav Pelikan ).

On May 6, 1985, Kluge announced the sale of Metromedia's television stations, and Metromedia Producers Corp., to the News Corporation ( owned by Australian newspaper publisher Rupert Murdoch ) and 20th Century Fox Film Corporation ( owned jointly by Murdoch and Marvin Davis ) for $ 3. 5 billion.

In 2008 he was the co-winner, with Indian historian Romila Thapar, of the Kluge Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Study of Humanity, from the US Library of Congress.

Authors like Ulrich Kluge, Eberhard Kolb, Reinhard Rürup and others argued that in the first weeks of the revolution the social base for a democratic redesign of society was much stronger than previously thought and that the potential of the extreme left was actually weaker than the MSPD's leadership, for example, assumed.
