The first meeting of the trustees of this fund (The Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland) was held in the Edinburgh office of the Secretary of State for Scotland in 1902, Lord Balfour of Burleigh presiding. It was a notable body of men--Prime Minister Balfour, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman (afterwards Prime Minister), John Morley (now Viscount Morley), James Bryce (now Viscount Bryce), the Earl of Elgin, Lord Rosebery, Lord Reay, Mr. Shaw (now Lord Shaw), Dr. John Ross of Dunfermline, "the man-of-all-work" that makes for the happiness or instruction of his fellow-man, and others. I explained that I had asked them to act because I could not entrust funds to the faculties of the Scottish universities after reading the report of a recent commission. Mr. Balfour promptly exclaimed: "Not a penny, not a penny!" The Earl of Elgin, who had been a member of the commission, fully concurred.

白话
1902年,卡内基苏格兰大学信托基金在爱丁堡的苏格兰事务大臣办公室召开首次受托人会议,由伯利勋爵主持。到会者包括后来成为首相的贝尔福、坎贝尔-班纳曼,以及莫利、布赖斯、埃尔金伯爵、罗斯伯里勋爵等一批显要人物。卡内基解释,他之所以请这些人而不是各大学教师来管钱,是因为读了最近一个委员会的报告后,对大学院系管理资金不放心。贝尔福立刻附和说“一个便士都不给”,曾参加该委员会的埃尔金伯爵也完全同意。这背后是捐赠者的取舍:宁可另设独立受托机构,也不把钱直接交给可能低效或偏私的院系。

卡内基自传中回忆1902年苏格兰大学信托基金首次会议,说明他为何另设受托人而非直接交给大学院系。
今日一问
当你捐出一笔钱或资源时,是否想过交给谁管理才能真正用到刀刃上?
