But one of his other great philanthropic interests was Scotland: he was the long-serving president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the charitable fund that had been established in 1911 by the Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, and he was instrumental in establishing the Andrew Carnegie Lectures at Edinburgh College of Art.
He was a special advisor to Culture and Sport Glasgow (now Glasgow Life), which runs the city’s culture and leisure services, and he was also a trustee of businessman Sir Tom Hunter’s foundation.

Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Vartan Gregorian
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace had no better friend over the past two decades than Vartan Gregorian. Over and over again, as we attempted new phases of institutional growth and innovation, he was there to help. In every case, he started by listening carefully to our ideas and plans and then challenged us to sharpen our thinking, aim higher, and strive for deeper impact. And then after we did our best to respond to his probing questions, he followed through with invaluable support on multiple planesâresources, contacts, and ideas.
Intellectualism is a word that the Washington policy community nervously avoids. As president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Vartan embodied the very best of what that word can mean, and he helped instill it in usâan appreciation for research that goes deep, insists on originality, pays adequate dues to culture and history, and doesnât stop unt ....
