Great!
When I think how Harvard (which Pres. GW Bush attended), Stanford, Yale
(which Pres. Bush and Pres. Bush both attended) and other universities
have huge endowments, like 10 times higher than their annual
expenditures (and manhy of the expenditures come from gov't funds, like
research grants), it seems to me that these universities are too
interested in maintaining their funds and not enough of doing their work
of educating, training, researching and healing (they all have great
hospitals).
I like how the foundation did its thing, then disappeared.
