their occupants, and to the common

T0 THE NATION
: Carnegie Will Found stitution of Leern- |
ing at National Capital.
TO LEAD RESEsRCH,
IN OR RIGINAL
The Government Asked to Be the Trustee for
the Splendid Endswment, No Appropriation
Being Expected or Wanted— Carnegie [las i
Conferred With Dr. Gilman and Other Noted |
Educators on the Subject.
Washington, D. C,, (Special) .—DPresi
dent Roosevelt has received a letter from
Andrew Carnegie, in which the latter
offers to make a donation of $10,000,000 |
will
to the United States. The letter
be referred to Congress by the Presi- |
i dent in a special message.
Mr. Carnegie's gift is for the pur-
pose of establishing in Washington a
university for higher As
fas as his idea has been developed, it
proposes a gift after the manner of the
bequest of James Smithson, the Eng-
lishman who gave $1,000,000 for the es-
tablishment and maintenance of what is
now known as the Smithsonian Insti-
tution. Smithson desired the institution
founded by him to be a factor in he dif-
fusion of scientific knowledge. Mr. Car-
negie proposes that the ele which
he is to endow shall be the greatest in-
stitution in the world for the develop-
ment of higher education.
Mr. Carnegie has consulted ex-Presi-
dent Gilman of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity ; President Hadley, of Yale; Presi-
dent Eliot, of Harvard; ex-President
White, of Cornell, and all the leading
educators of the country. They heartily
indorse his plans. The pr oposed univer-
sity will not interfere in the least with
the educational institutions already es-
tablished, but will supplement them, for,
education.
according to the present plan, its doors |
will be open only to those who desire to |
take up a post-graduate course. Mr.
Carnegie also wants the new university
to take the lead in original research, so
that the United States can eventually
stand side by side with Germany, if not
excel that nation,
ment.
Mr. Carnegie’'s plan does not propose |
a national university in the sense that
an appropriation will be asked or need-
ed. The Government is simply to be
the trustee of the magnificent endow-
ment, just as it administers the fund
bequeathed by Smithson. It is probable
that a board of regents will be appointed, |}
In- | @
in the case of the Smithsonian
stitution, or it may be that the Govern-
ment will be represented upon the
board of directors, which, it is contem-
plated, shall consist of men of national
reputation.
Mr. Carnegie has kept the proposed
endowment a secret until he could defi-
nitely arange the plans and scope of the
new university. Even yet all these de-
tails have not been arranged, so that lit-
tle more than the outline of his gift can
be published.
It is known, however, that he does not
propose to ask from Congress a single
foot of land upon which the university
buildings will be constructed. The entire
expense i sto be borne out of his endow-
ment. No site has yet been selected. It
will, however, necessarily be very large,
as it is proposed to erect a series of
magnificent structures.
It is said that by offering to endow a
university in Washington with $10,000,-
000 Mr. Andrew Carnegie does not in-
tend to establish a new institution.
The money is to be used for affording
facilities for research.
Whether Congress will accept the of-
fer is a mooted question.
It is said the endowment will be in
Steel Company securities, and the ques-
tion has been raised whether it would
be politic to accept them in view of the
agitation against combinations.
