Gives $10,000 for Study of Architecture

The piece highlights that this initiative is part of adult education in the arts, a major focus of the Carnegie Corporation since Andrew Carnegie’s death.

Key points from the article:

• Keppel describes the growth of interest in fine arts, especially among adults seeking “relief of suffering” or “re-creation of the leisure of millions.”
• The article traces the development of foundations supporting the arts in America, citing the White-Williams Foundation (1800), Julliard Musical Foundation (1926), and Fogg Art Museum endowment (1922) as examples.
• It notes Andrew Carnegie’s personal interest in the arts — including building organs for churches and an art gallery in his hometown — and how, after his death, the Carnegie Corporation significantly supported art education through grants, fellowships, and equipment.
• The article includes a prominent section titled “Carnegie as an Example,” arguing that Carnegie’s life exemplifies “adult education” and that the arts are uniquely suited to cultivate mature minds.
• Another section, “Ignore Word Education,” criticizes traditional “book learning” for adults and stresses that education should nurture the whole personality, particularly through the arts, which offer excitement and understanding beyond mere facts.
• A final section, “Architects Create Art,” asserts that architects — being “the only six” in the community with “all round training in the arts” — are uniquely equipped to carry out effective civic art projects.

The text is presented in two columns on aged, beige-toned paper, printed in a serif font typical of early 20th-century newspapers. The layout is formal and dense, with clear section breaks and subheads. The article reflects early 20th-century attitudes toward adult education, philanthropy, and the social role of the arts.
