the Executive Committee subsequently unanimously adopted and caused to be spread upon its minutes the following resolution: Resolved, that the thanks of the officers and trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching are tendered to Mr. John L. Cadwalader for the able and valuable legal services which he has rendered to this Foundation; and the Executive Committee hereby extends to him its thanks not only for the service itself but for his kindly interest in the Foundation and the objects for which it was established." The Trustees next took up with care the consideration of the rules which had been recommended by the Executive Committee for the administration of the Foundation, and these rules, with certain changes adopted after discussion by the whole Board, were adopted in the form in which they are in this report reprinted as Appendix E, and under which the work of the Foundation has since been administered. THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATION OF THE FOUNDATION In accordance with the rules and with the authority given to the Executive Committee by the Board of Trustees at the meeting of April 9, the Foundation has since been administered and its business conducted through the following officers of administration: Under its Act of Incorporation the legal home of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is in the District of Columbia, and an office must be maintained there through which legal service may be at any time recognized. By the kindness of the Trustees of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, quarters have been provided in their offices. The question whether the work of the Foundation may not ultimately be transferred to Washington is a question which the Trustees may later be called upon to decide. ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SINCE APRIL 9, 1906 In accordance with the authority delegated to it by the Trustees the Executive Committee has proceeded to place upon the "accepted list" certain institutions and to grant retiring allowances to professors in these institutions. It has also granted retiring allowances to certain professors in institutions not on the "accepted list," which grants have in all cases been made on the ground of distinguished and unusual service; and in the list of men who have been so chosen are found the names of many teachers who honor American scholarship and whose influence upon American youth has been most important.
