The Carnegie Club of St Andrews is delighted to announce our first speaker of the year: Dr. Frank Quinault who will lead a discussion on our namesake and university rector, Andrew Carnegie.
Dr. Quinault first came to St Andrews in 1972, as a Lecturer in Psychology. Before retiring in 2007 he held many other university posts, including: Assistant Principal for External Affairs, Hebdomadar, with responsibility for student welfare (and discipline!); and Director of Teaching and Learning. He also chaired the board of the Students’ Association for six years. Frank was Chairman of the Byre Theatre, is a past president of the St Andrews Burns Club and of the Rotary Club of St Andrews.
Dr. Quinault will discuss the history and legacy of Andrew Carnegie, our club's namesake and a rector of the University of St Andrews. Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Fife in 1835. After immigrating to Pennsylvania in 1848, Andrew Carnegie eventually became one of American history's principal industrialists, philanthropists, and pacifists. His story of charity, dedication, innovation, and progressive outlook inspires and forms the central pillar of our club. Due to this, it is a profound privilege to be able to host Dr. Quinault as he explores the history of Andrew Carnegie's life, as well as his influence in our university during his time as rector.
The talk will consist of a talk by Dr. Quinault followed by an interview. If you would like to learn more about our club or meet more of our members, this is a perfect opportunity.
