  • Collection Name: Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Records
  • Abstract: The Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland was established in 1901, for assistance to students, for expansion of the Scottish universities, and for stimulation of research. The endowment of the Trust on establishment was $10 million, several times larger than the governmental funding of the four Scottish universities at the time. The Trust was accepted, but remained one of the most controversial of all the large Carnegie benefactions. Carnegie was criticized for creating an “academic dictatorship” by his reliance on trustees, and for “pauperization” of the university clientele by providing financial assistance for Scottish students.

  • Abstract: By 1917, the CFAT trustees, after an extensive study, concluded that a pension system paid out of income at no cost to the beneficiary was expensive beyond all estimates and anticipation. In 1917-1918, under an arrangement negotiated by Andrew Carneg ie and the CFAT the CCNY gave $1 million to found the Teachers Insurance Annuity Association of America, an occupation-wide contributory plan, believed by some to embody more closely Carnegie’s original vision of the teachers’ pension plan. The nonprofit stock of the association, now called TIAA-CREF was owned outright by the Corporation until 1938, when it was transferred to an independent board of trustees. CCNY continued to support TIAA with grants until 1957.
