Excerpt from Bulletin of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching: Papers Relating to the Admission of State Institutions to the System of Retiring Allowances of the Carnegie Foundation IN his letter of April 16, 1905, to the members of the Board of Trustees whom he had selected, Mr. Carnegie referred to the admission of government institutions of learning to the benefits of the retiring allowance system which should be established in the following words: We have, however, to recognize that state and colonial governments which have established or mainly supported universities, colleges, or schools may prefer that their relations shall remain exclusively with the state. I cannot, therefore, presume to include them. In accordance with the policy here expressed, Mr. Carnegie did not include in his list of trustees any representatives of state institutions.
