 124. — The Second Annual Report of the Carnegie Foundation 

 covers the period from July 1st, 3 906, to September 30th, 1907, 

 it having been arranged that the fiscal year shall in future 

 begin on October 1st. All those who are concerned with college 

 and university work in this country will be interested in this 

 detailed report, showing what the Foundation has accomplished 

 thus far and what are its plans for the future. There are at 

 present 55 institutions upon the accepted list, and grants have 

 thus far been made to 166 persons involving an annual cost of 

 $234,660. On October 1st, 148 persons were receiving allowances, 

 133 of these being professors and officers, and 15 widows of pro- 

 fessors. The total expenditure was $202,145, $124,990 going to 

 accepted institutions and $77,155 being paid to individuals out- 

 side of them. This last item indicates the wise liberality with 

 which the funds are being administered. The total fund with 

 accumulations now amounts to a little over $10,700,000, and the 

 income for the fifteen months covered by the report was $644,000, 

 of which only $199,000 was expended, leaving an additional 

 accumulated sum of $445,000.
