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.

Few states have committed major resources toward the sponsorship and development of its next generation of researchers, scientists, and innovators. The GRSP is a state investment in Alabama’s universities that will expand research output, attract quality graduate students and make our universities more competitive for quality faculty hires. The program will provide a highly trained workforce to fuel the growth of high technology companies in Alabama. A significant goal of the GRSP is to encourage interdisciplinary training and research, to train professionals for careers in the scrutinized fields, and to encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to consider careers in these fields.

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.

Tiffany Glass: Painting with Color and Light includes twenty Tiffany Studios leaded glass lamps, five large stained glass windows, hanging shades, and three forgeries modeled after Tiffany’s iconic lamp designs, all from The Neaustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. For more information about the exhibition and The Neustadt Collection, check out the Woodson Art Museum’s free app and videos on our Youtube Channel. Two exhibitions from the Woodson Art Museum’s glass collection juxtapose the intricate, feminine designs of the Victorian Era with the more modern and restrained aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period. Enduring Beauty: Art Nouveau Glass features bold iridescent glass in sleek undulating forms typical of the decorative, yet utilitarian, turn-of-the-twentieth-century glassware. Victorian Art Glass Baskets also from the Art Museum’s collection, feature bright colors “woven” throughout delicate glass reminiscent of frills on tutus and unfurling flower petals.

On account of the absence of distinguishing marks, the origin of these quaint old flasks and bottles and teacup plates has heretofore been en- shrouded in doubt. Whether they were oi foreign or American production, none could posi- tively say. Those whose interest has been aroused in this subject have felt the need of a manual which, while throwing some light on the factories where these objects were produced, shall furnish a refer- ence list of known designs.
