Let the Koch's of this world fund the humanities

There is a good bit of conservative money floating around. Let's go back to the old ways where the rich funded the humanities. Since the moneys are so small it's clear that the rich could handle this. To take the point further recall that Mt Palamor observatory was built by the Rockefeller foundation, and Mt Wilson was build by the Carnegie institution. But the moneys today are so high on the science side that it would be hard for the rich to fund it.
