thread_title:  Still a stub? 

message: I added material that I would like to footnote, but since this is my first ever entry, I am not understanding how to do it. The reference to Lady Margaret is referenced here:
http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/news/dp/2004110501
The reference to the Lucasian Chair is referenced here:
http://lucasianchair.org/lucasianchair.org/brief.html 
There is information about the first endowed chair in America (Harvard) that I did not include but may be appropriate here:
http://www.hds.harvard.edu/history.html 
I am hoping that others will contribute additional information on Endowed Chairs if they have it.
One final question, can a link be created so if someone types in the search box "endowed chairs" or "endowed professorships" it takes them right to this space?

replies: text: Nice finds on the information for the first endowments! I have added the references to the article. This is where you learn how to add footnotes. Endowed chair now redirects to Financial endowment. Techieman 06:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The Financial endowment article and College and university endowments in the United States article are almost identical.  Is there a need for both?  Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 22:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Note: Need section about legal structure. (Article is not clear. Is an endowment its own entity type under the law or it is simply a Trust that is designated to endow?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72Dino (talk • contribs) 17:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: The article doesn't really say whether endowment is the TOTAL amount accumulated by and available to an institution or the size of donations they get every year. I believe it's the most important aspect of this article. My assumption is that it's the cumulative amount - it's difficult to imagine Harvard University gets 30 billion dollars every year. Is that correct? Could someone please clarify this?
I also believe the definition in the first sentence is wrong. A financial endowment is a NOT transfer of money and/or property donated to an institution. It is that money and/or property already donated and in possession of the institution. BadaBoom (talk) 00:24, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
