Les universités canadiennes et de Terre-Neuve y étaient admissibles, à la stricte condition qu’elles soient ou deviennent non confessionnelles. À l’époque, il n’était pas rare que les universités canadiennes aientdes dispositions confessionnelles dans leurs règlements de gouvernance. Les critères d’admissibilité étaient donc perçus par certains comme des intrusions « coloniales » dans leur autonomie. Le présent article est basé sur une étude d’archivesexplorant comment et pourquoi les universités canadiennes, sous l’effet de pressions exercées par leur corps professoral, ont trouvé des moyens de respecter cette exigence, les compromis qu’elles ont dû faire dans la gouvernance, et le changement ultime qui s’est produit dans l’équilibre entre système confessionnel et système laïc.  \nMots-clés : Fondation Carnegie, pensions de la faculté, Canada  \nIntroduction  \nIn 1905 Andrew Carnegie created and donated funds to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to  \nprovide retiring pensions to the teachers of Universities, Colleges, and Technical Schools   without regard to race, sex, creed, or color   in general to do and perform all things necessary to encourage, uphold, and dignify the profession of the teacher and the cause of higher education within the United States, the Dominion of Canada, and Newfoundland. (An-  \ndrew Carnegie Letter of Gift, April 18, 1905, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Annual Report, 1906)  \nIn today’s dollars, the funded value of Carnegie’s foundations would be nearly triple that of the Gates Foundation, which has a similar educational mandate. Access to the pension fund was tightly restricted to non-denominational and non-tax supported colleges and universities that also met the Foundation’s standards of academic quality. Six years later Carnegie established and endowed the Carnegie Corporation, which continued the well-known and less restrictive grant program for  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 52:2 (2022)   \nlibraries and expanded its scope to include direct grant support for universities and colleges, mainly for scientific research.  \nFrom 1906 to 1929, the Carnegie Foundation and Corporation support provided to Canadian higher education, either in the form of direct grants or pension payouts, amounted to just under $6 million ($180 million in current Canadian dollars) . Support from Carnegie (and Rockefeller) endowments to universities, museums, art galleries, and public libraries thus played an important but nevertheless supranational role in forming a national culture in Canada. The influence of both foundations is described well by Brison (2005) .  \nWhat is less well-described is the Carnegie Foundation’s influence on Canadian higher education, mainly through its pension fund, the rules and standards associated with it, and educational studies. This study will investigate how and why Canadian universities were attracted to the fund and found ways either to work around, comply with, or otherwise take advantage the","cbCaihlkvs6l2ZYq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihlkvs6l2ZYq","pdf",218570,21,"English","# Introduction\n## Carnegie’s educational and pension mandate\n## Restricted access and denominational conditions\n## Canadian compliance, workarounds, and governance compromises\n## Influence beyond pension payouts: standards and system formation","[{\"question\":\"What pension requirement did the Carnegie Foundation attach to grants in 1905?\",\"answer\":\"The pension plan was available only to institutions meeting strict conditions, including being non-denominational and not requiring governance control by particular sects.
