Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ohio State University Quarterly, Vol. 1 Upon request of the editor I make the following statement concerning the action of the Carnegie Foundation relative to the three Universities, with special reference to the significance of this action as to The Ohio State University. Under date of June 9, 1909, the Carnegie Foundation addressed a letter to the Governor of Ohio, a copy of which was forwarded to each of the three institutions. In the communication it was stated that "this Foundation is primarily one for higher education. Only such state institutions ought to be admitted to its benefits as maintain fair college standards, efficient courses of instruction, and stand in organic relation to the public school system of their states." It is interesting to note that the statement of the Foundation is that it exists primarily for higher education and not primarily for the granting of retiring allowances as many people assume. This seems to be a secondary consideration; at any rate the benefits are not granted unless the Foundation approves the institution. When this matter came up in Ohio the representatives of the other institutions thought it desirable that the request for all three should be made in one statement. Accordingly a joint resolution was adopted by the House and Senate, approved by the Governor and forwarded to the Carnegie Foundation. In reply to this request the communication of the Carnegie Foundation states that the request raises "an unusual problem." The relations of these institutions of the state to each other and to the public school system seem to the Foundation so extraordinary that the executive committee directed that some statement of these conditions should be made to the Governor of Ohio. In bringing to his attention the fact of three universities and their equipment the Foundation said that "such overlapping as is represented here is not only wasteful, but it results in competitive bidding for students. It demoralizes the institutions concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
