Herr Treasurer and Assistant Secretary General Counsel Sullivan & Cromwell ON June 30, I969 Old Dominion Foundation was merged into Avalon Foundation and the name of the latter changed to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Avalon Foundation had been founded by Ailsa Mel- lon Bruce on December 26, I940 as a common law charitable trust. In I954 it was incorporated under the Membership Corporations Law of the State of New York. Old Dominion Foundation had been established in I94I by Paul Mellon under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The two individuals were the children of Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury from I92I to I932, and later Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. Total assets of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at December 31, I970 approximated $697,8I8,000 at market value and $60I,257,000 at book value. During I970, the Foundation received substantial distribu- tions from certain trusts established by Ailsa Mellon Bruce who died on August 25, I969. It is possible that there may be further distributions in the future of a relatively more minor nature from such trusts and also from Mrs.

MELLON: FOUNDER AND BENEFACTOR c_1_Mellon_7-19_BLUEPRINTS_2107.indd 2 06/10/16 16:55 Andrew W. Mellon: Founder and Benefactor PRINCE OF Andrew W. Mellon’s life spanned the abolition of slavery and PITTSBURGH invention of television, the building of the fi rst bridge across the Mississippi and construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass and Walt Disney’s Snow White, the Dred Scott decision and the New Deal. Mellon was born the year the Paris Exposition exalted Delacroix and died the year Picasso painted Guernica. The man was as faceted as his era: an industrialist, a fi nancial genius, and a philanthropist of gar- gantuan generosity. Born into prosperous circumstances, he launched several of America’s most profi table corporations. A venture capitalist before the term entered the lexicon, he became one of the country’s richest men. Yet his name was barely known outside his hometown of Pittsburgh until he became secretary of the treasury at an age when many men retire. A man of myriad accomplishments, he is remem- bered best for one: Mellon founded an art museum by making what was thought at the time to be the single largest gift by any individual to any nation. Few philan- thropic acts of such generosity have been performed with his combination of vision, patriotism, and modesty. Fewer still bear anything but their donor’s name. But Mellon stipulated that his museum be called the National Gallery of Art.

  • Vangie Bruce's Diplomatic Salon: a Mid-Twentieth-Century Portrait
    14 VANGIE BRUCE’S DIPLOMATIC SALON A mid-twentieth-century portrait Kenneth Weisbrode Diplomacy has long been regarded as one of the more traditional subjects of histor- ical scholarship, at the top of Ranke’s hierarchy and perhaps the closest to his heart. What could be more important than high politics, the intricate relations among states, with consequences for millions? Even military history as such came to be seen as a subset of diplomatic, later called international, history. States were the principal actors, and more often than not states appeared at once impersonal and anthropomorphic, with capital cities serving as subjects not only for official acts but also for motivations and mentalities. The construction ‘Paris said’ or ‘Berlin responded’ is a literary device; readers of diplomatic history know this, however susceptible many of them remain to the equation of state behaviour with an ostensibly uniform ‘official mind.’ Historians have long dissected the official mind to show that it included, or at least incor- porated, wilfully or inadvertently, ‘unofficial’ networks, influences and individual actors. It is far less uniform or united in practice, bureaucratically and otherwise, than official pronouncements would lead one to believe many years later. There is, in other words, no such thing as the official mind; there are multiple minds, and very few can be labelled accurately as purely or exclusively official or unofficial. There have been two principal methodologies for drawing out these distinctions and reconstructing their history: the institutional, or bureaucratic, study, which is a kind of anatomy of decision-making; and the sociographic or contextual narra- tive with various actors coming and going to and from the stage.

    Legacy Finding Aid for Manuscript and Photograph Collections 801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 What are Finding Aids? Finding aids are narrative guides to archival collections created by the repository to describe the contents of the material. They often provide much more detailed information than can be found in individual catalog records. Contents of finding aids often include short biographies or histories, processing notes, information about the size, scope, and material types included in the collection, guidance on how to navigate the collection, and an index to box and folder contents. What are Legacy Finding Aids? The following document is a legacy finding aid – a guide which has not been updated recently. Information may be outdated, such as the Historical Society’s contact information or exact box numbers for contents’ location within the collection. Legacy finding aids are a product of their times; language and terms may not reflect the Historical Society’s commitment to culturally sensitive and anti-racist language.
