Washington University's origins were in seventeen St. Louis business, political, and religious leaders concerned by the lack of institutions of higher learning in the Midwest.
 The effort to found the university was spearheaded by Missouri State Senator Wayman Crow, and Unitarian minister William Greenleaf Eliot, grandfather of the Nobel Prize laureate poet T. S. Eliot.
 Its first chancellor was Joseph Gibson Hoyt.
 Crow secured the university charter from the Missouri State Legislature in 1853 and handled further political maneuvering.
 While Eliot was in charge of raising funds for the university, he accepted the position as President of the Board of Trustees.
 Early on Eliot was able to solicit some support from the local business community, including John O'Fallon, one of the wealthiest people in St. Louis, even briefly considering naming the university the O'Fallon Institute.
 However, Eliot failed in securing a permanent endowment.
 In fact Wash U is unique among other American universities, in not having any prior financial endowment to begin with; the school had no religious backing, wealthy patron, or government support.
 Therefore financial problems plagued the university for several decades after its founding.

Endowment invasion is when an institution draws on its financial endowment to pay off debts and cover the yearly operating expenses.
 In New York the practice requires approval from the state attorney general’s office and the New York State Supreme Court.
 By 2009 most states had adopted Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, a law which allows "invading principal".
 It is considered a last resort for any institution to stave off closure.
A financial endowment is a donation of money or property to a nonprofit organization for the ongoing support of that organization.
 Usually the endowment is structured so that the principal amount is kept intact while the investment income is available for use, or part of the principal is released each year, which allows for their donation to have an impact over a longer period than if it were spent all at once.
 An endowment may come with stipulations regarding its usage.
