Which, again, has to do with Andrew Carnegie and not Carnegie Mellon. Andrew Carnegie had quite a bit of money (as we all know), and wanted to build his legacy in education. As a result, he created a number of organizations dedicated to higher education, all of which are independent but have his name.

It’s almost like attending Nobel University in LA because you respect the Nobel Prize.
