I have been told that in public relations, perception is reality. That may well be, at least in the short run. As a financial econo- mist I prefer to deal with a different reality. When I see a new /•*• building go up my first though is what will be the annual out- lays for maintenance? Are they built into the funds raised for that purpose or will the maintenance budget grow at the expense of instruction? When I hear of a grant to fund a worth program for five years, I ask myself will the program end at that time or will the College have to find new money to continue it? If so, out of what budget will these funds come? About the only time I am comfortable is when I learn that a gift or bequest goes into endowment, the income from which is used to fund ongoing ac- tivities such as financial aid or instruction and research in math- ematics. The public relations value may be limited, but the importance of that type of gift or bequest over the long run can- not be questioned. This brings me to the central point. For the fiscal year ending June 30,1999. The Financial Report of Trinity College, p. 10, shows that total revenues including funds allocated to financial aid were $86,412,359 (This excludes $13,370,799 or reclassification of as- sets, i.e. gains on the endowment that were spent). Furthermore if we exclude $13,280,212 of revenues for auxiliary enterprises i.e. dormitories, etc. we have $73,132,147. Df that amount $53,377,493 or about 73 percent is tuition and fees. ($13,341,152 of tuition and fees is redistributed as financial aid.) $8,748,667 or about 12 percent represents endowment income. The remain- der comes from various sources. Given the level of expenditures, one less full-paying student results in a revenue loss of between $31,000 and $32,000. Capi- talizing $32,000 at an endowment yield of 5 percent means that each full paying student lost requires $646,000 in new endow- ment. One hundred less students requires $64,600,000 in new endowment to make up the loss in revenue. Space does not per- mit further refinement of these estimates. The College does have able people at work augmenting endowment, but the process is slow and a fair portion of it comes through estates. ON the rev- enue side of the budget, however, the choice is between an in- crease in endowment or an increase in the student body. OF course, there is an expenditure side of the budget, but that must be saved for a later article.
