爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
In 1916 Bok sought Mr. Alexander Van Rensselaer, the president of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association, and proposed that he, himself, should guarantee the deficit of the orchestra for five years, provided that during that period an endowment fund should be raised, contributed by a large number of subscribers, and sufficient in amount to meet, from its interest, the annual deficit. It was agreed that the donor should remain in strict anonymity, an understanding which has been adhered to until the present writing.

白话
1916年，博克向费城交响乐团协会主席提出：他个人担保乐团五年赤字，条件是这五年内必须向众多认购者募集一笔永久基金，用其利息弥补年度亏损。他要求匿名，这个约定一直遵守到写书时。这种做法是用临时兜底换取长期造血机制，把个人承诺变成公共参与的契机。
上下文
博克在自传中讲述他如何匿名推动费城交响乐团建立永久基金。
