Generally speaking, we definitely have more very large gifts coming in, and we have more people giving.

Often times for very large gifts, there (are) naming rights attached.

Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.

This year has been our vice president's first full year on the job, and I think we've done some pretty good things.

I think there is more of an awareness of the need for a state university to do fundraising. The state is sort of maintaining the basics, but not too much beyond that.

I love the Christmas-tide, and yet, I notice this, each year I live; I always like the gifts I get, But how I love the gifts I give!
