THE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION FOR THE 
ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING 
In March, 1911, Mr. Andrew Carnegie 
transferred to the trustees $1,000,000 of 
five per cent. bonds of the United States 
Steel Corporation, the first instalment of 
the gift of $5,000,000 offered in his letter 
of March 31, 1908. 
This amount brings the funds at present 
in the hands of the trustees to a total of 
somewhat over twelve millions of dollars, 
of which eleven millions are invested in 
five per cent. bonds of the United States 
Steel Corporation and approximately one 
million, the result of accumulated surplus, 
is invested in other securities, purchased 
upon the approval of the finance committee 
and listed in the treasurer’s report. 
The total income at the disposal of the 
trustees for the fiscal year just ended 
amounted, as shown in the treasurer’s 
report, to $590,449.54. 
The total expenditures of the trustees 
were distributed as follows: 
Retiring allowances and 
pensions in accepted 
institutions—
