ton that he be given free hand in
the exercise Of his colossal benefi.
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains 1t would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does 1t seem nec-
essary to limit the scope of his benefi-
cence. which is coextensive with the
efforts Of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
"The only change I would desire to

partial elimination of the method Of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left close

time am confident that 1t would inure

and to the public welfare-to say moth

of democracy-if the majority Of the
trustees were appointed by the presi.
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent Of the senate, or
