Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Relations of Christian Denominations to Colleges: An Address Before the Conference on Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, at Atlanta, Ga;, May 20, 1908 In beginning a paper which concerns the relations of religious organizations to institutions of higher learning, I may perhaps be allowed a word in regard to the work and scope of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. This new institution, but recently endowed by Mr. Andrew Carnegie with fifteen millions of dollars, is not a charitable institution, but an educational agency. It deals with colleges, universities, and technical schools in the United States, Canada, and Newfoundland, and is the only institution at the present moment which is directly concerned with the educational interests of the whole of English-speaking North America. The purpose of the Foundation is the service of higher education by strengthening and dignifying the calling of the teacher. It does this, directly, by the establishment of a retiring allowance system in such colleges and universities as may become eligible to its benefits. The professor in such an institution receives his retired pay through his college just as he receives his salary, in accordance with definite rules, as a right, not as a favor. In case of his death, his widow receives as a pension the half of the retiring salary to which her husband was entitled. Indirectly, the Foundation seeks to serve higher education and the cause of the teacher by insisting on the maintenance of reasonable and honest college standards in the institutions with which it deals, by publishing specific information concerning colleges and universities, by the discussion of educational questions, and in general by serving the part of a central agency in relation to educational interests in the United States, Canada, and New-foundland. In making this gift, Mr, Carnegie imposed upon his trustees the condition that the retiring allowance system should not be extended to teachers in institutions which are under the control of a sect, or which require their trustees, officers, or teachers to belong to a specified denomination.
