Guggenheim Memorial Fellowships Established by Simon Guggenheim
Simon Guggenheim, in memory of his late son, creates the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation with an initial endowment of 8 million dollars. Unlike the Rhodes plan, candidates may study anywhere, include women, and race or creed are not factors. Mature scholars, not youths, are sought, reflecting Guggenheim's interest in research, art, and music. Simon Guggenheim was born in Philadelphia in 1867 and later entered mining and smelting in Colorado, serving one term in the U.S. Senate before 1918.
