Mr.. Carnegies purpose as stated by

is as follows:
"It is proposed to found in the city
of Washington, in the spirit of Wash
ington, an institution which, with the
cooperation of institutions now or
hereafter established, here or else
where she'll in the broadest and most
liberal manner encourage investigation,
research and discovery; encourage the
application of knowledge to the i'm
provement of mankind; provide such
buildings, laboratories, books and ap-
paratus as may be needed and afford
instruction of an advanced character
to students whenever and wherever
found. inside or outside of schools,
properly qualified to profit thereby.
"These and kindred objects may be
attained by providing the necessary
apparatus for experimental work, by
employing able teachers from the va
rious Institutions in Washington or
elsewhere, and by enabling men fitted
for special work to devote themselves
to it, through salaried fellowships or
scholarships. or through salaries with
or without pensions in old age, or
through aid in other forms to such
men as continue their special work at
seats of learning throughout the
world "
