	EH.Net Encyclopedia: Andrew Carnegie
		Carnegie's competitive zeal and unwillingness to collude irked his competitors, as did his moves around 1900 to expand into producing steel goods in hoop, rod, wire and nail mills.
		Carnegie's general thesis was that America's democratic institutions and the economic and social freedoms they encouraged were responsible for her ascendance over monarchical Europe.
		Carnegie emphasized that wealth should not be given to "charity," but that it go to libraries, schools, museums and other projects that helped those who would help themselves.

	Carnegie Institution of Washington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Carnegie Institution of Washington (CIW) is a foundation established by Andrew Carnegie in 1902 to support scientific research.
		Two solar telescopes were also constructed with Carnegie support and together they form the Mount Wilson Observatory, still chiefly supported by the Carnegie Institution after 100 years.
		OCIW is the lead institution in the consortium building the Giant Magellan Telescope, which will be made up seven mirrors each 8.4 meters in diameter for a total telescope diameter of 25.4 metres (83 feet).

		Carnegie's father, William Carnegie, a handloom weaver, was a Chartist and marcher for workingman's causes; his maternal grandfather, Thomas Morrision, also an agitator, had been a friend of William Cobbett.
		Carnegie's subsequent rise was rapid, and in 1859 he succeeded Scott as superintendent of the railroad's Pittsburgh division.
		Carnegie also obtained greater efficiency by purchasing the coke fields and iron-ore deposits that furnished the raw materials for steelmaking, as well as the ships and railroads that transported these supplies to his mills.

		The institution is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has five departments around the country devoted to research in plant biology, developmental biology, earth and planetary sciences, and astronomy.
		Carnegie's intention was for the institution to be home to the "exceptional" person-an individual with imagination and dedication who worked at the cutting edge of a specialty.
		Carnegie's legacy of pioneering scientific research is vibrant today, and its unique founding principles ensure that Carnegie researchers will continue to extend the frontiers of science for decades to come.

	C&EN: COVER STORY - CARNEGIE INSTITUTION: AT 100, STILL IN ITS PRIME
		Carnegie Observatories Director Augustus Oemler Jr., who spent two decades as a professor at Yale University, says: "The most substantial difference is the single-minded agenda of the Carnegie, which is the pursuit of science.
		Carnegie cares about nothing but the work that the scientist is doing." That manifests itself in numerous ways, not least of which is that nearly "every penny that comes into the institution is going to do science," Oemler says.
		The Carnegie Institution would be a congenial home for those "people who have ideas that they would like to pursue, but they feel quite uncertain as to whether they could get the standard kind of support from grants to do that," Singer says.

		The Carnegie Institution of Washington has chosen Stanford as the site of its new Department of Global Ecology the first scientific research center established by Carnegie in more than 70 years.
		The Carnegie Institution in Washington was founded by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie in 1902 to encourage "investigation, research and discovery, and the application of knowledge to the improvement of mankind."
		Since the late 1920s, the nonprofit institution has consisted of just five departments: Embryology based in Baltimore; Terrestrial Magnetism and the Geophysical Laboratory in Washington, D.C.; the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, Calif.; and Plant Biology established on the Stanford campus in 1929.

		Hale, inventor of the spectroheliograph, discoverer of solar magnetism, and one of the founders of modern astrophysics, was determined to push beyond the descriptive astronomy of earlier generations to understand the internal physics of the Sun and the stars.
		Carnegie operates the latter for a consortium whose other members are Harvard, MIT, and the Universities of Arizona and Michigan.
		Carnegie is a very special place, and the environment of the Observatories reflects the values of an institution dedicated to enabling exceptional scientists to pursue their ideas with complete freedom.

	Andrew Carnegie
		Carnegie shrewdly surrounded himself with intelligent advisors, made heavy investments new equipment, and maintained his ownership stake in all his enterprises, enabling him to exponentially increase his wealth.
		The Carnegie Steel Company was producing one-fourth of all steel in the U.S. by 1900, and was sold to U.S. Steel in 1901 for $250 million.
		Carnegie then retired to write books espousing social responsibility of the wealthy, and spent his final years giving away his substantial fortune to benefit the public with projects such as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and over 2,800 libraries.
