title: Carnegie Corporation of New York
text: World War II and its immediate aftermath were a relatively inactive period for Carnegie Corporation . When Charles Dollard , who had joined the staff during 1939 as Keppel 's assistant , became president during 1948 , the foundation increased its interest in the social sciences , particularly the study of human behavior , and entered the field of international affairs . At Dollard 's urging , the corporation funded quantitative , `` objective '' social science research modeled after the physical sciences and helped to diffuse the ideas throughout major universities . At this time , the corporation became a major proponent of standardized testing in the schools as a means for determining academic merit irrespective of social or economic background . Among other initiatives , it helped to broker establishment of the Educational Testing Service during 1947 . In recognition of the United States ' increasing need for scholarly and policy expertise in international affairs , the corporation also initiated , with the Ford Foundation , foreign area studies programs in colleges and universities , helping to establish and sustain the Russian Research Center at Harvard University . Following Afrikaner political ascendance during 1951 , the corporation ceased grantmaking in South Africa for more than two decades , changing its policy to the development of universities in East and West Africa .
