Mr. Vanderlip today sent the fol-
letting latter to the press:
"Mr. Andrew Carnegie has trans-
ferred to a board of trustees, consist,-
lng in the main of presidents of the
most important colleges in the United
States and Canada, $10,000,000 first
mortgage “VB per cent. Steel Corpora-
tion bonds. The purpose of the, trust
fund thus created is to provide annui-
ties for college professors in the Uni-
,fted States. Canada anti Newfoundland
who. from old age or other physical
disability, are no longer in :t position
to render the most efficient service.
It is Mr. Carnegie‘s belief that this
:fund will not only provide a dignified
pension system for a body of most
worthy. self-sacrificing anti poorly
paid men. but that it will be of distinct
value to the cause of education in of—
feringan opportunity to the trustees
of a college to retire members of the
faculty who have faithfully served the
institution for many years anti to re-
place such men with young, vigorous
and efficient professors. i am taking
the liberty of enclosing herewith Mr.
Carnegie's letter outlining the nature
of his bequest. This letter was writ-
ten to the members of the board of
trustees. The. list of trustees is also
,enclosed. All have accepted.
“Stops will at once be taken to or-
ganize a corporation to formally re—
ceive'the bequest. The first meeting
of the board of trustees has been cali-
ed for November 15. in the meantime
it is Mr. Carnegie's desire that Dr.
Pritchett, president of tho Massachu—
setts Institute of 'i'echnology, and my— I
self proceed to obtain data. from all
the institutions concerned for use at
the meeting of the trustees. The
bonds which Mr., Carnegie have so
generously donated have a market
value of 811.000.0w and will produce
an annual income of $500,000.
“The corporation which is being
formed will be styled "i‘he Carnegie
Foundation.”
“Yours very truly,
“(Signcdi
“P. A. VANUERLII’.”
Mr. Cal‘uegie's letter to the trustees
is dated April its. and is as follows:
“I have reached the conclusion that
the least rewarded of all the profes-
sions is that of the teachers in our
higher educational institutions. New
.York city generodsly, anti very wisely.
provides retiring pensions for teachers
in her public schools, and also for
her policemen. Very {cw indccd of
our colleges are able to do so. The
consequences are grievous. Ablc mcn
hesitate to atiopt teaching as a career.
and many old professors whose places
should be occupicd by younger men
cannot be retired.
“I have. therefore. transferred to you
and your successors its trustees. $10,-
000,000 five per ccnt. first morigagc
bonds of the linitcd States Steel (“or-
porlttion, the rcvenuc from which is
to provide retiring pensions for the
teachers of universities, colleges and
technical s‘chools in our own country,
Canada and Newfoundland, under such .
conditions as you may adopt from time
to time. Expert calculation shoWs that
the revenue will be ample for the pur-
pose.
"The fund applies to three classes
of institutions named, without regard
to race. sex, creed or color. We have.
however. to recognize that state anti
colonial governments which havo es-
tablished, or mainly support universi-
ties, colleges or schools may prefer
that their relations shall remain cx-
clusiveiy witn the state. i cannot.
therefore, presume to include them.
“There is another class which states
do not aid. their constitutions in some
cases even forbidding it. viz., sectar—
ian institutions. Many of these cs-
tabiished long ago. were truly sec-
tarian. but today are free to all men
of all croetis or of none~such arc not
to be considered sectarian now. Only
such as are under control of a sect Oi“
require trustees tor a majority there-
of), officers, faculty or students, to be-
long to any specified sect, or which im-
plies any theological test are to be
excluded.
"Trustees shall hold office for five
,years and be. eligible for re-olcction.
Each institution participating in the
fund shall cast one volc for trustees.
