<p>Ah, there goes Atomic again. Of course it was not mentioned that RPI has far more financial resources than its endowment as is evidenced in the $1.25 billion it has already raised toward $1.4 billion campaign.</p>

<p>And Sheed30 may want to consider that amount is bigger than CMU’s entire endowment…Oh, but RPI is not in the same class (lmao). RPI easily has the resources to go to against CMU and Cornell. </p>
<p>Would you tell Tedd Hoff (RPI grad who invented the microprocessor) that RPI is not in the same league as Cornell? </p>
<p>Would you tell George Low (RPI grad who directed the Apollo 11 moon landing) that RPI is not in the same league as Cornell? </p>
<p>Would you tell Alan Dumont (RPI grad who invented the cathode ray tube which became the foundation of the american television industry) that RPI is not in the same league as Cornell? </p>
<p>Would you tell J. Eric Jonsson (Co founder of mighty Texas Instruments) that RPI is not in the same league as Cornell? </p>
<p>Would you tell C. Sheldon Roberts (RPI grad who was Co founder of Fairchild Semiconductor) that RPI is not in the same league as Cornell? </p>
<p>Would you tell Clay Bedford (RPI grad that was construction superintendent for Boulder and Grand Coulee dams) that RPI is not in the same league as Cornell? </p>
<p>Would tell Washington Roebling (RPI grad that built the Brooklyn Bridge) that RPI is not in the same league as Cornell? </p>
<p>I could go on…</p>
