Description

Contains a newspaper clipping and handwritten letter. The newspaper clipping from an unidentified newspaper reports that Andrew Carnegie has offered President Roosevelt a ""large salary to take up educational work at the end of his term"". Mr. Carnegie was reported as leaving ""a system for education that will make John D. Rockefeller's Chicago University pale into insignificance"". The article states that Carnegie was evasive when asked about the Washington (D.C.) rumor and he said: ""I can't be blamed for what folks want to imagine"". The handwritten letter from Samuel H. Church to Andrew Carnegie makes reference presumably to the above mentioned newspaper clipping of March 18, 1908. In the letter Church expresses his interest in Roosevelt taking charge of the ""associated institutions at Pittsburgh"". Church writes that he could ""oversee the Literary and Publicity departments"" and he could also leave the ""railroad"". He ends by writing ""we would (beat?) the world.""
