Abstract
THE Carnegie Institution of Washington was founded by Mr. Carnegie in 1902, when he gave to a board of trustees an endowment of 2,000,000l., to which he added 400,000l. in 1907, and a further 2,000,000l. in 1911. The articles of incorporation of the institution declare “that the objects of the corporation shall be to encourage, in the broadest and most liberal manner, investigation, research, and discovery, and the application of knowledge to the improvement of mankind,” and already, as the annual reports of the president and the directors of the various departments show, the objects of the institution are being fulfilled admirably.
