* "Percent Change" does not represent the rate of return on investment for the listed endowment. This figure represents an endowment's change in market value between fiscal year-end 2005 and fiscal year-end 2006. Factors such as growth from gifts, reductions due to expenditures and withdrawals, and investment returns determine an endowment's fiscal year-end market value.
