Per Capita Endowment on 6/30/09 School
9 $662,185 , Rice
11 $641,389 , Grinnell
12 $540,289 , Wellesley</p>

<p>30 $271,876 , U Penn
34 $254,044 , Columbia
37 $242,487 , Brown

<p>So, JA, you would undoubtedly characterize Rice, Grinnell and Wellesley as being far more elite than Penn, Columbia and Brown, correct? Just want to make sure here.</p>
