摘要

本文开创性地描述了一所私立研究型大学获得基金会资助的过程。斯坦福大学在第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战后的飞速发展主要得益于卡内基、洛克菲勒和福特基金会的资助。斯坦福大学获得重大资助的过程主要涉及一小群人之间的互动,反映了基金会主席和其他高层管理者对大学校长和其他领导人能力的信任。即使在大型基金会实现专业化,将责任从受托人转移到工作人员身上的时候,这种高层互动的重要性依然存在。在斯坦福大学与慈善基金会的交会中,这些关系非常重要,以至于在关键时刻,对大学的资助先于相关研究领域的专业知识。

“Making the Peaks Higher”: Foundations of Stanford University’s Growth, 1910–1960

This article breaks new ground in its portrayal of the process through which a private research university obtained foundation funding. Stanford University’s growth spurts after World War I and World War II were significantly enabled by financial support from the foundations of Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Ford. The process leading to Stanford’s receiving major grants primarily involved interactions among a small group of individuals and reflected the confidence of foundation presidents and other top administrators in the capacity of the university’s presidents and other leaders. The significance of such high-level interaction persisted even while major foundations professionalized, shifting responsibilities from trustees to staff. In the rendezvous between Stanford University and philanthropic foundations, these relationships mattered so much that at crucial junctures, funding to the university preceded expertise in the relevant field of study.
