Title |
Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Canada: American Philanthropy and the Arts and Letters in Canada
|
Abstract |
In the first half of the twentieth century, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation helped to create and maintain a cultural and intellectual infrastructure in Canada that benefited key institutions such as McGill University, University of Toronto, the National Gallery of Canada, the Humanities Research Council of Canada, and the Canadian Social Science Research Council. The author documents how American philanthropy facilitated the transformation from a private, localized system of cultural, intellectual, and academic patronage to a complex, nation-based system of incorporated patronage - a system in which the major patron was the federal state.
