When the Carnegie Foundation was established in 1905, universities in Canada and Newfoundland were eligible for grants, on strict conditions that were seen by some as “colonial,” “continentalist,” or “imperial” intrusions on autonomy; for example, a Carnegie plan to create a federation of Maritime universities. This is a study of how Canadian universities found ways to comply with the requirement, of the compromises they had to make, or chose not to make, in governance, and of an ultimateshift in balance from sectarian to secular, and independent to publicly supported. Lorsque la Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching a été fondée, en 1905, elle comprenait un régime de pension pour les professeurs d’université. Les universités canadiennes et de Terre-Neuve y étaient admissibles, à la stricte condition qu’elles soient ou deviennent non confessionnelles. À l’époque, il n’était pas rare que les universités canadiennes aient des dispositions confessionnelles dans leurs règlements de gouvernance. Les critères d’admissibilité étaient donc perçus par certains comme des intrusions « coloniales » dans leur autonomie. Le présent article est basé sur une étude d’archives explorant comment et pourquoi les universités canadiennes, sous l’effet de pressions exercées par leur corps professoral, ont trouvé des moyens de respecter cette exigence, les compromis qu’elles ont dû faire dans la gouvernance, et le changement ultime qui s’est produit dans l’équilibre entre système confessionnel et système laïc. |
