made Friday night that Andrew Car

ever sum might lie necessary to in
Clude as pension beneficiaries eligible
professors of state universities.
No provision was made for this class
of educators in the original gift, for
the reason, stated by Mr.. Carnegie at

possible that such institutions might
prefer that their relations should con-

which their chief support was derived.
This view was not taken by the Ma

ties, which in the year following the
establishment Of the foundation petit
toned the trustees for admittancc to
the benefits of the retiring allowance
system.
Original Fund Too Small.
1t was then found that the earnings
of the original fund Of $l0,000,000
were exhausted through the outlet al
