<p>Well Treeman, I have to admit that I didn’t actually look at any data before posting (blush; I should know this group is too savvy). </p>
<p>Your point is well taken - Carleton is not exactly in the poorhouse by anyone’s standard. OTOH, they are ranked 5th overall by USNWR, but 24th in financial resources which supports my recollection from time on the Annual Fund Board that our endowment was low compared with peer schools. As an alum who’s been involved in fundraising for years, I do take great pride in the #1 ranking in alumni giving:)</p>
