[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alumni giving is not a good indicator.  I went to Harvard Law.  I don't give much because a) my children are college-aged and all in expensive schools; b) I pay an obscene amount of money in taxes; c) I have three aged parents DW and I are taking care of; d) we have a SN child who has a lot of unexpected expenses; and e) with a [b]63 billion dollar endowment[/b] Harvard doesn't need my money.  Nor does the law school.  To make Harvard pay attention for legacies requires six to seven figures which we will never have so that ship has sailed.  But your results may vary.[/quote]

Congratulations on Harvard Law and all, but this conversation (raving about or giving to schools) is really based on where people went to undergraduate.  No one ever really expects people to give much money to their law schools (which are factories that charge a lot and subsidize other schools).  [/quote]

I think you reversed number there.  Endowment is more like 36 billion (perhaps up to 40B now).[/quote]You’re right. I meant to type 40.9 billion[/quote]
