He left half ..of his estate of 779 English pounds, 17 shillings and two cents to a small colonial col- lege that had been founded in -1636 at Newtowne, later Cam bridge. . The college gratefully accept- ed' the money and adopted the , name of its benefactor. Thus, the role of philanthropy as the mainstay of American higher education began. Today rich individuals still help the cause with their bene factions, but the largest dis pensers of private moneys to education are no longer such persons but huge foundations .and, indeed, industry. ' . Each year, the more than 15,000 private foundations fn the United States dispense more than $1.1 billion in grants. About $250 million of this is used to improve edu cation. Foundations today provide funds to construct school build ings and buy equipment, to create fellowships and scholar ships, to pay pensions to re tired professors, to endow mu seums and to improve adult education. The giant among them is the Ford Foundation, with total assets of more than $3 billion. Next comes the Rockefeller Foundation, with about $650 million, the Duke Endowment with about $420 million, the Hartford Foundation with more than $250 million. Foundations appear to be a peculiarly American institu tion. They are practically un known in Europe, where the rich tend to hold on to their money. ORIGIN Foundation philanthropy be gan in a big style in 1865 when oil millionaire John D. Rocke feller's gifts first topped a thousand dollars. In 1884 he gave away more than $100,000 and four years later more than a million. But his income grew so rapidly that he could not keep up with giving it away, and in 1902, to cope with his excess wealth, Rockefeller gave $1 million to launch his first foundation, the General Education Board. It was found ed to "promote education in the United States of America without distinction of sex, race or creed." Each foundation has its own personality and special pur poses. The Carnegie Corporation is noted for the establishment of libraries all over the country. Faculty Show Includes Potato Bag, Peep Show With a peep show, stage 'lighting, a thunder machine and a framed potato bag, the second annual show of the works of faculty artists on the four campuses of the Consli- - dated University mut be ap proached with a sense of hu mor. The exhibition this year is composed of graphics and - sculoture. but the ingenious artists from Raleieh. Chapel Hill. Greensboro and Charlotte " have ud those cat2oris as a big tent under which they plav all sorts of pranks on the niihlic. The show will be on vtew. pt. th Ackland Art Ontr ( through Jan. 8. nd . will be mounted ?t We-thersDobn Art -Gallerv -of UNC-G Jan 15 throueh Feb. 8. , The peep show i?

Walter Barker of Greensboro niit! u on with "Found Two- ; Part Sculoture. Ceramic and Gl:s." which is hi wav of savine he plusd in an old fixture and the old-fash- ; ioned cWr bulb that, eos with it. Tn the same vein. Barker , took a sack from Long island potatoes, drew a crayon line down it. put it in a frame, and presto, we have an "edit ed found print." Joe Cox took the effects of stage lighting on tep farther thn h d'd with his entrv in tha North Carolina Artists' An nual. Now ther1 are no but tons to nush. but h;s gadget automatically changes periodi cally as high intensitv lamps switch on and off and coWed baffles move. Cox. of Raleigh, also entered landscape draw ings with deft sensitive lin. - Bob Barnard, who ferhes - the kiddie art at Chanel Hill, showed a Charles Addams ". sense, of humor in his kiddie car for a deed Hdd'e little coffin dcorated with metal flowers. But. he took an old thunder machine, which - works, and painted an abstract ' design on it. I'm sure I scared the guard at the Ackland out. of his wits every time I turned the crank and a great Art World By OWEN LEWIS 'roar erupted. '' 'i Peter Agostinl, who teaches . at Greensboro, plaved a, dif ferent kind of ioke. He had liis " plaster sauigles , which' fc're melded from., inflated dinner tubs and. crushed-, cans, shipped in from New York at a cost of more than $300 to tne .University,, ..... The large wooden sculpture ''done by Ray'TMusselwhite of Raleigh cannot ' be described in public print, but I wish it would go away. . .;; In a more serious vein. Rob ert Howard of Chapel Hill proves to be the star of the shjow with metal ' sculpture that is alternately zoomorphic and Bertoiaesque, but always executed with craftsmanship, .ingenuity and a keen sense-; of design. Howard is easily emerging as the most impor tant artist working in North Carolina today. He has evolved distinctive, individual idiom that is meaningful for our : time. - The graphics in the show are far less arresting than the "sculpture." The main source of humor here is Kenneth Ness of Chapel Hill, whose work I hadn'useen in yearHi-busy felt "pin drawings and his 'car- ? toon 61. A baby have? aJJefV? light touch.

' L. V, Huggins' (of .Chapel The Rockefeller Foundation distinguished itself by provid ing funds for medical research. Th3 Guggenheim Foundation is noted for the fellowships it provides. The Ford Foundation explored new ventures in pri mary and secondary educa tion. "If it were not for the Ford Foundation, we probably nev er would have had educational television," Dr. Allan M. Cart ter, vice president of the American Council on Educa tion, said in an interview with UPI. As early as the turn of this century, some foundation founders began to finance edu- . cation on a truly monumental scale. , Around 1900 Andrew Carne gie offered to build a public li brary for any English-speaking community in the world that' would contribute 10 per cent: of the building's cost. Within 20 years Carnegie built . 2,811; libraries in the United States and the British Com monwealth at a total cost of more than $60 million. Rockefeller spent $35 million -'to develop a small Baptist col lege into one of the nation's -most prestigious institutions of" learning: Th3 University ofv Chicago. At the same time, he financed world - wide cam paigns against malaria, yellow fever and hookworm and gave $100 million to establish medi cal schools in the United States!
