224 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL.84 



accepted, and it was arranged that three selected Englishmen — one 

 from a Scottish university, one from either Oxford or Cambridge, 

 and the third from one of the agricultural or industrial colleges — 

 should be sent to America for one or more years, and that this sending 

 should be repeated as often as desirable. 



In this way was begun one of Carnegie's extremely useful philan- 

 thropic measures which is not generally known and of which he 

 never made the slightest display. Seven of these men came to the 

 United States prior to the outbreak of the World War, and five 

 others came during the early part of the war. After Mr. Carnegie's 

 death, some funds were remaining in England for this purpose, and 

 two men were sent from England, two from South Africa and two 

 from Canada. 



It is certain that this action on Mr. Carnegie's part has already 

 resulted in great good. Unfortunately, three of the men who came 

 over before the war have died — Andrew Rutherford in Ceylon, 

 C. W. Mason in Africa, and G. D. Grosvenor in England. All were 

 men of very great promise. Others have been sent out to colonial 

 possessions and are doing excellent work. It will be well worth while 

 here to record these so-called Carnegie Students, as it will be the 

 first published record of this one of Andrew Carnegie's wise acts. 

 Each of them spent at least a year in the United States, some of 

 them going to a university over here for part of the time, but most 

 of them studying in the laboratories of the Bureau of Entomology 

 both in Washington and in the field. They were as follows : 



Andrew Rutherford, January 30, 191 1, Scotland.
