Does the endowment size directly correlate with generosity of financial assistance?

Actually, @merc81, I’m not sure where you are accessing your figures, (I just browsed Wikipedia and found no support for your “30% higher” claim) but, arguendo assuming you are correct, and just to muddy the waters even further, why not use the equally low-per-student-endowed, Cornell? Which school do you think is actually “richer” in terms of resources, Cornell or Earlham?
