Study of the Endowment at Whitman College

Whitman Wire, the Whitman College student-run newspaper posted "A Look Into Whitman's Endowment" on May 3, 2018. The post offers a transcript of an interesting interview with a Whitman College senior, Meg Rierson, who studied the institution's endowment for her thesis. While large endowments like those of Harvard or Yale may receive attention in the popular press, details of endowment strategies or performance at smaller institutions are usually not well understood.

Small higher education institutions will be the primary focus of the Small College Garden. It will also highlight small college towns.

There is a Small College Garden group for those who would like to join discussion and share information through Facebook.

I will typically be posting links to newspaper articles and other information on institutions with fewer than 2,500 students or college towns with populations less than 25,000. I look forward to receiving your comments, suggestions or links to relevant resources!!

I maintain several blogs as a hobby and encourage you to check out the College History Garden for posts on colleges that have closed, merged, or changed names.
