Yes, actually; Persia has an glorious tradition for pursuing scientific as well as philosophical ideals long before other nations have even begun to do so. While we were inspecting your magnificent university and the curriculum it offers its students, we were shocked and nearly appalled to find that not a single school you offered (though all examined were indeed excellent by all measurements and standards of education) had courses designed to educate individuals in either philosophy or religion.
Any such courses that seemed to teach such subjects were, unlike the rest of your very well-designed courses, seemingly designed as afterthoughts to ensure students knew a little something about each (and even that little was quite lacking). Now, as a nation, we are not afraid of studying the abstract along with the practical in our schools; we have always utilized the latest discoveries about our world to construct world-class economies, industries, laboratories, cities and militaries.
However, we have also done this while wrestling with the greatest issues in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and the nature of the Divine; it is from a philosophy of natural rights and naturalism that modern science either progresses or regresses. It is from a philosophy of ethics that nations justify either greed or greatness, gluttony or glamour.
It is from a philosophy of human nature that the law is constructed to either foster human flourishing or to vanquish the individual spirit. It is from philosophy that magnificent ideas are rought from the problems humans all face, from facing death to finding a life purpose. From philosophy springs all other forms of human inquiry, be they science or mathematics, into the world and into ourselves.
Besides teaching the love for wisdom (the direct translation of philosophy), knowledge of religion has many, many practical and theoretical purposes; from training citizens to become holy men to gaining an understanding of the deepest convictions of our fellow creatures, communing in inquiry about the divine is one of the most beautiful and rewarding experiences an education can offer.
I would therefore be greatly pleased if, should my donation be accepted that either classes be established to teach an in-depth understanding of philosophy and religion in your colleges where appropriate (your Worshendon School of Public Policy would be, for example, perfect to teach comprehensive courses in ethics and world religion, whereas your von Biber Institute of Science and Technology would be an excellent choice to teach the philosophy of science and metaphysics) or that a separate college be founded with the specific task of teaching religion and/or philosophy (there could be one school for both, or a separate school to teach each subject).
On a side note, a part of this donation comes from my sister, a prominent member of both the royal family and many charities focused on raising the quality of education in developing countries. She would, should her donation be accepted, love to see courses in library science be taught in at least one of your prestigious colleges. To know how to best organize and distribute the collective knowledge of a civilization so that the general public can access it is one of the greatest arts a citizen can learn; in fact, many of the great minds of history received their education solely from their public libraries.
In summary, since this is a rather long note, we would like our donation to be geared towards at least three things; teaching library science in at least one of your colleges (I believe your Hyden Center for Education would be an excellent candidate for such classes), teaching in-depth courses in philosophy in your colleges where appropriate (again, for example the Hyden Center for Education could have epistemology classes) and either teaching comprehensive courses in religion in your colleges where appropriate OR founding a new college dedicated to the study of religion (for example, training holy men/women for a religion's clergy or providing philosophy majors with a springboard into other professions) and/or philosophy. If you find that, should you decide to create a new college, that it is only appropriate to teach either religion OR philosophy at it, and not both, that is quite alright, so long as both are available to be given to students.
A possible college for such studies has been drafted by one of my best architects below:
I would like to, from my family's personal fortune, like to donate $3.5 billion in NSD towards this cause, while my sister would like to contribute $400 million NSD for the library science courses, bringing the total donation to $3.9 billion NSD.
