Description
Mellon Institute was formed in 1913 by Andrew and Richard B. Mellon in memory of their father, Judge Thomas Mellon, to investigate problems within the fundamental and applied natural sciences, and to stimulate research, train scientists, and create advantages for industry. All of this was accomplished through the industrial fellowship plan conceived by its’ founder, Robert Kennedy Duncan. Research was conducted by personnel working under fellowships sponsored by various industries. The private companies paid for the time and expenses of the employees and researchers, while keeping the rights and profits from the new products or processes. The researchers pictured may have been working for a fellowship sponsored by one of the companies. In 1967 Mellon Institute merged with Carnegie Institute of Technology to form Carnegie Mellon University.
