A Totat WAR STRATEGY AGAINST PEKING by Gen A TOTAt WAR STRATEGY AGAINST PEKING by Gen. Teng Chieh IIAII we need do is to understand how to make the most of our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Then we can snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat. The Chinese Communist Party is extremely weak, just like a paper tiger-one poke and you �ould pierce it through. All the masses on the mainland are opposed to communism." -Gen. Teng Chieh This amazing little book by one of the top leaders of Taiwan ' s Kuomintang party, published by Chinese Flag Monthly in December 1988, charted the course for the Ch inese students' revolution that erupted just a few months later.

    History and Organization Table of Contents History and Organization Carnegie Mellon University History Carnegie Mellon Colleges, Branch Campuses, and Institute Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley Software Engineering Institute Research Centers and Institutes Accreditations by College and Department Carnegie Mellon University History Introduction The story of Carnegie Mellon University is unique and remarkable. After its founding in 1900 as the Carnegie Technical Schools, serving workers and young men and women of the Pittsburgh area, it became the degree-granting Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912. “Carnegie Tech,” as it was known, merged with the Mellon Institute to become Carnegie Mellon University in 1967. Carnegie Mellon has since soared to national and international leadership in higher education—and it continues to be known for solving real-world problems, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation. The story of the university’s famous founder—Andrew Carnegie—is also remarkable. A self-described “working-boy” with an “intense longing” for books, Andrew Carnegie emigrated from Scotland with his family in 1848 and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He became a self-educated entrepreneur, whose Carnegie Steel Company grew to be the world’s largest producer of steel by the end of the nineteenth century. On November 15, 1900, Andrew Carnegie formally announced: “For many years I have nursed the pleasing thought that I might be the fortunate giver of a Technical Institute to our City, fashioned upon the best models, for I know of no institution which Pittsburgh, as an industrial centre, so much needs.” He concluded with the words “My heart is in the work,” which would become the university’s official motto.

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.

  • REVIEW ESSAY the MELLON FAMILY,MAKING and SHAPING HISTORY: a SURVEY of the LITERATURE Lawrence L
    REVIEW ESSAY THE MELLON FAMILY,MAKING AND SHAPING HISTORY: A SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE Lawrence L. Murray passion for privacy is one of the legendary attributes of the AMellons. A few years ago a frustrated investigator for the New York Times fueled that legend with the observation that the one characteristic shared by the entire family was "an intense craving for privacy." He marveled at the decision of one branch to engage a pub- lic relations firm to keep their names out of the literature. An examination of the literature, however, reveals that the legend is more mythical than real. Like others of the "super-rich," the Ludwigs and the MacArthurs for example, their quest is to avoid notoriety, and it should never be confused with a preference for anonymity. The intent is to manage and to manipulate, to maintain an appropriate public image which willshield them from the wrath of scandal seekers and populist politicians such as the late Wright Patman. They are also concerned that they secure a favorable place in history, somewhere other than in the recesses of plutocratic re- action to which the "old left" of Harvey O'Connor and his Mellon's Millions (New York: John Day, 1933) and the "new left" of William S. Hoffman and his Paul Mellon,Portrait of an OilBaron (Chicago: Follett Publishing Co., 1974) have consigned them. Beginning with the memoirs of the patriarch, Thomas Mellon and his Times (Pittsburgh: privately printed, 1885), and continuing to Burton Hersh's The Mellon Family: A Fortune inHistory (New York: William Morrow and Company, Inc., 1978), the Mellons have tried to influence if not predetermine their niche in history.
