It looks like eliminating hot breakfasts and launching an expensive clothing line paid off for Harvard.
Harvard's endowment recovered 11% this year after a disastrous 27.3% tumble last year. The endowment now stands at $27.4 billion, up from last year's $26 billion figure.
I am an EALAC major who can't do math, so this information is meaningless to me.
$26 billion sounds like a lot of money. $27.4 billion sounds like even more money. And Columbia's humble endowment of $5.4 billion sounds like a little less money. But they're all variations on the theme of a lot of money.
