Died: April 15, 2021. VARTAN Gregorian, who has died aged 87, was an Armenian-American academic, philanthropist, and fund-raiser who was most famous for saving the world-famous New York Public Library from decay and economic destitution. But one of his other great philanthropic interests was Scotland: he was the long-serving president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the charitable fund that had been established in 1911 by the Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, and he was instrumental in establishing the Andrew Carnegie Lectures at Edinburgh College of Art. He was a special advisor to Culture and Sport Glasgow (now Glasgow Life), which runs the city’s culture and leisure services, and he was also a trustee of businessman Sir Tom Hunter’s foundation. Vartan Gregorian, said Sir Tom, was a reminder that you should never be the richest person in the graveyard.
