	Centennial History of the Carnegie Institution of Washington - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Carnegie was prescient in recognizing the important role that science could play in the advancement of humankind.
		He created the Carnegie Institution as a means to realize these understandings, directing the Institution to undertake “projects of broad scope that may lead to the discovery and utilization of new forces for the benefit of man.” Carnegie was confident that this unusual formula would succeed.
		The CIW Archives should serve well the interests of many historians for the next centennial project, though scientists are developing the habit of not saving documents that remain ephemeral and electronic, and the records may be better for the first hundred than for the next hundred years.

	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.
