		Indeed his Foundation is a monument to one man’s conviction that the lives of countless fellow citizens can be improved by the intelligent application of knowledge and then policy to one of the greatest social evils and one of the greatest moral challenges of the day.
		And I believe that Rowntree would agree that addressing the multiple causes of poverty and the life cycle of poverty in our times, demands we be far bolder than the philanthropists of 1904.
		It is that belief that for the Rowntree Foundation is a summons to act and a call to duty.
