Description

A signed typescript letter from Andrew Carnegie to William McConway, Chairman of the Carnegie Institute Board of Trustees Technical Schools Committee, written in response to an earlier letter from McConway. Stressing that the Carnegie Technical Schools are not designed to be institutions of higher learning and that they are intended to educate the children of poor Pittsburgh residents, Carnegie rejects McConway's requests for higher staff salaries and funds to provide student dormitories.
