CARNEGIE DOES NOT FORGET.
Gift OF $4,000 to Kenyon College 70
Establish Chair In Honor of
Edwin NJ. Stanton.

Mount Vernon, O.. March 19.-The
gift of $4,000 in five per cent. bonds to
Kenyon college by Andrew Carnegie Is
to establish the Edwin NJ. Stanton
chair of economics. Carnegie gave the
money AT the suggestion of the late
NJ. A. Hanna, who had given a sim
liar amount for dormitory. On lear0-
ing that Stanton had secured his col
legiate training in Kenyon college,
Carnegie determined to name his en-
dowment in honor of the late secretary
of war, because when Stanton was Sec
rotary of war he made Carnegie as
sistant manager Of telegraphs and rail-
roads, which position gave Carnegie his
start in life. The heirs of the late Sem
ator Hanna have given to Kenyon col
lege $4,000 additional for the purpose
Of fully completing Hanna hall.
