| Welcome to our website and thank you for your interest
in our organization! The Institute of the Humanities at Salado is a
non-profit corporation offering educational programs and conferences in
the disciplines of the humanities for its members and the general
public. The Institute provides life-long learning opportunities to
explore the ideas, history, literature and values that make up the human
story. The purpose of the Institute is to increase knowledge, to stretch
minds and to foster compassion in light of our rapidly changing world.
Its goals are to promote the exchange of ideas and the search for
wisdom.
The Programs of the Salado Institute
include a series of seminars and lecture/discussions each spring and
fall organized around a single topic. In addition, there are special
events throughout the year such as trips, tours, and public lectures.
Some past program topics have included "Media and American Identity",
"Science and Spirit—Our Place in the Cosmos," "The Wisdom Within Us,
"Facing Evil" and "The Poetry of Listening". Although the programs are
varied in their approach, the Institute consistently serves as a forum
for its members to interact with outstanding speakers who challenge them
to think beyond the everyday.
Once you have learned more About
the Salado Institute , we hope you will want to join our
organization and experience the mind-expanding opportunities we offer in

"At a time in human history when values are being questioned and basic
assumptions are being reassessed, when moral conflicts rise unbidden in
almost every area of life, we will continue to offer opportunities for
enlightenment and understanding."
Dr. Harry A. Wilmer, Institute founder |
