...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...has committed $500 million to a private liberal arts college in New York that seeks to enrich "democratic discourse by training tomorrow’s thought leaders."
Bard College announced that the donation is a "gift" and described it as "among the largest ever made to higher education in the United States."
The university said the funding "will facilitate and strengthen Bard’s exemplary educational and social initiatives, establish the College’s most substantial endowment ever, and set the stage for a $1 billion endowment drive."
"This is the most historic moment since the college’s founding in 1860," said Bard College President Leon Botstein. "When this endowment drive is complete, Bard will have a $1 billion endowment, which will ensure its pioneering mission and its academic excellence for the future."
