Figures lie and liars Figure

n the late 1980s when i was chief financial officer of the texas a&M uni versity system (TAMUS), i began to notice in the annual reporting of endowment totals to the national association of College and university Business offi - cers (naCuBo) that the university of texas (u.t.) system always ranked in the top 10, but that texas a&M was nowhere to be found. With a bit of research it became clear that u.t. had been reporting the entire Permanent university Fund (PuF) endowment as its own instead of the two-thirds it could rightfully claim. When i asked u.t. and naCuBo about the reporting discrepancy, i got a cordial stiff arm from both. But a year or so later, a fortuitous occasion arose when u.t. edged out harvard university as the largest endowment in the country. so i did what any good CFo would do: i called harvard and explained why u.t. out- ranked them. the following year, the report correctly attributed two-thirds of the PuF to u.t. and one-third to texas a&M. it was no surprise to me that texas a&M moved into the top 10 endowments, and u.t. once again fell behind harvard. higher education accounting and reporting is complex, but this was a clear case of deception by design. i tell this story, however, to highlight additional comparisons between texas a&M and our (seC) peers. When you compare the 2011 naCuBo-reported endowment total of $7 billion (which includes our share of the PuF) for the taMus and foundations to the list of comparative seC schools, we rank no. 1 by a wide margin. our closest public peer institution in the seC is the with a $1.3 billion endowment. texas a&M ranks high in other comparisons, as well. in 2010 we conducted research valued at $689.6 million annually, ranking us among the top 20 univer- sities nationally and third behind only Mit and the university of California at Berkeley for universities without medical schools. (the national science Founda - tion has not released 2011 figures.) that same year, the university of Florida was ranked right behind us at 21st with research valued at $681.5 million. With more than 50,000 students at the College station campus, we are the sixth largest university in the country (no. 1 for enrollment in the seC), with Florida in a close second at 49,810 students. The Wall Street Journal named our graduates second in the nation among public and private universities based on employers’ satisfaction in hiring. at no. 9, the university of Florida is ranked closest in the seC. Mark twain once said “there are lies, damned lies and statistics,” but one non-quantitative comparison is no lie: aggie hospitality. When both Florida and lsu fans came to town this season, they raved about the friendly welcome they received from students, former students and Bryan-College station residents. as we continue to make new acquaintances in the seC, i believe our reputation as a hospitable institution is our finest virtue. let’s stay no. 1 in hospitality, and then beat the hell out of ’em on on saturday!

Tex, an equine member of the Texas A&M Equestrian Team, received a dental checkup in August from Elizabeth Ramsbacher ’09 ’13, a fourth-year student in Texas A&M’s Col lege of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. During the examination, Tex experienced a procedure called “teeth floating.” Horses’ teeth can develop sharp edges, making it dif- ficult to chew food or hold a bit. To avoid these problems, a veterinarian carefully files their teeth to achieve a flat grinding surface. The type of file used for this is called a “float,” which is how the procedure got its name. After the checkup, Tex was returned to the A&M equestrian stables in good spirits. You can support Texas A&M veterinary students and the equestrian team by con- tacting Dr. Guy Sheppard ’76 at (979) 845-9043 or [email protected].

24 TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION Endowment Power

Endowed faculty funds help Texas A&M recruit and retain excellent faculty members, who use them to support their teaching, research, service and professional development activities. Some colleges use endowed gifts to leverage their standing. For instance, the com- bination of endowments and the funds made available through the university’s faculty rein- vestment program helped Mays Business School significantly improve its standing during the past 10 years.

| The GreaTesT reTurn

Most of you give your time and money to Texas A&M University without a thought to what you will get in return. That’s what makes Aggies so special—we have an unusually high affinity for our alma mater, and many feel an urge to pay back the knowledge and experience this university provided us as students. But let’s be honest: Everyone enjoys some kind of recompense for what they give, whether it’s simple satisfaction or an actual monetary return on the investment.

In the case of Texas A&M, we believe your contributions are paying enormous dividends. These payments often come in the form of an eager scholarship recip - ient, brilliant professor or modern facility on campus. Other returns are perhaps not as obvious, such as the ability of a student organization to fulfill or expand its mission as it trains the next generation of Aggie leaders. That’s where we think of Clay Huber ’12, an ambitious young man and former Maroon Coat from Allen, Texas. Clay enlisted in the U.S. Navy during his senior year of high school, served four years and was chosen for Seaman to Admiral-21, a select program for active-duty sailors who show potential to do well in college and later as officers. These sailors attend the college of their choice for three years, and then return to the Navy as officers after graduation. Clay chose Texas A&M, but instead of pigeonholing himself as a slightly older, nontraditional student, he jumped headfirst into everything that this institution has to offer, including Ol’ Ags, Howdy Camp, T-Camp, Parents’ Weekend Committee, the Conference on Student Government Associations and our Maroon Coats. In May he graduated with a communication degree and was commissioned as an officer in the Navy. He’s now in training to be an aviator with the VT-27 “Boomers” at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. In the future he plans to attend graduate school and pursue a career in public service. “The most impactful lesson I learned at Texas A&M was the importance of selfless service,” he said. “Serving others, putting others before yourself, is critical to who we are as Aggies and as leaders. That is the most significant takeaway and something I will work to apply in leadership positions and in my every- day life.”

Shortly after graduation, he designated the Texas A&M Foundation ben- of selfless service.” —Clay Huber ’12 eficiary of his life insurance policy. His giving at such a young age and early stage of his career speaks volumes to what we’re trying to accomplish here. It’s a reflection of the work we do at the Texas A&M Foundation and the inspiration our former students instill in others. Clay is one of thousands of examples of how your gifts to Texas A&M, gifts that develop students, faculty and programs on our campus, are making a dif- ference by producing leaders with core values that others will want to emulate. He is the epitome of a Texas Aggie and an admirable representation of how your investments reap substantial living returns. Your gifts may initially touch one student like Clay, but as our endowment continues to grow, private giving is going to change the face of Texas A&M in ways we can’t imagine. You may not expect anything in return for your chari- table gift, but you’re going to witness the value of these investments through people like Clay. The pages that follow give you a snapshot of the Foundation’s 2011-2012 fiscal year, with charts, graphs, and financial statements that reflect specific results and long-term trends. What is impossible to capture with financial reports are the heartbeats of the students and faculty on our campus whose lives are indelibly changed for the greater good because of you. Your selfless service through your generosity whispers a spirit that can ne’er be told, but has been felt by a dynamic young Navy officer. Thank you.

Foundation Funds Made Available to Texas A&M—Each year, the Foundation makes millions of dollars available to Texas A&M for students, faculty, facilities and pro- grams according to donors’ wishes. In fiscal year 2012, these funds totaled $70.3 mil lion, an 8.5 percent increase from fiscal year 2011. These funds consist of non-endowed gifts—funds made available to disburse imme diately rather than invested by the Foundation—and income from endowments.
