Letter from Andrew Carnegie to Theodore Roosevelt
Andrew Carnegie has donated more than 50 million dollars to libraries and would like to donate to a new cause. He has asked President Roosevelt and several others, including Secretary of State Elihu Root, for ideas. He has been giving to Berea College for several years, and will give more provided its president, William G. Frost, gives funds to a newly-established African American school. To date Carnegie has given between 19 and 20 million dollars to small colleges.
