  • BUSINESSMAN Can't Take It with You the Art of Making and Giving
    ffirs.qxd 2/25/04 9:36 AM Page i Praise for Can’t Take It with You “Lewis Cullman is one of this nation’s major and most generous philanthro- pists. Here he combines a fascinating autobiography of a life in finance with a powerful exposé of how the business of giving works, including some tips for all of us on how to leverage our money to enlarge our largess.” —Walter Cronkite “Lewis Cullman has woven a rich and seamless fabric from the varied strands of his business, philanthropic, and personal life. Every chapter is filled with wonderful insights and amusing anecdotes that illuminate a life that has been very well lived. This book has been written with an honesty and candor that should serve as a model for others.” —David Rockefeller “An extraordinary look at the accomplishments of a pioneer in finance. Cullman has approached his role as a philanthropist with vigor and presents a powerful argument for reform among private foundations.” —George Soros Chairman, Soros Fund Management “I was so enjoyably exhausted after reading the book—I can only imagine liv- ing the life! It seems there is no good cause that Lewis has not supported, no good business opportunity that Lewis has missed, and no fun that Lewis has not had.” —Agnes Gund President Emerita, The Museum of Modern Art “Now I know that venture capitalism and horse trading are almost as much fun as looking for new species in the Amazon. This book is exceptionally well written. The prose is evocative, vibrant, and inspirational.” —Edward O.

  • Professor Werner Hirsch Department of Economics the University of California at Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA Dear Werner: This Le
    Professor Werner Hirsch Department of Economics The University of California at Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA Dear Werner: This letter is intended to convey just a few ideas concerning the Glion IV conference proposed for next June. I believe these conferences have provided an important opportunity to bring together higher education leaders to address some of the most important issues facing the contemporary university. As I indicated in our phone conversations, I am not quite so pessimistic about the capacity to attract a number of presidents of American universities to the Glion IV conference. Many presidents would relish the opportunity to discuss in a structured way the issues facing higher education with their counterparts from Europe as well as with their American colleagues. Furthermore, Glion is a lovely environment, and many presidents (and spouses) are looking for an excuse to be far from their campuses during the June-July period. While there probably is a need for several of the past Glion participants to guide the discussions, I believe that if most attendees were active university presidents/rectors/vice-chancellors, both the substance and energy level of the conference would be elevated quite significantly. Some American possibilities who come to mind include: Chuck Vest, President, MIT Mark Udolf, Chancellor, University of Texas Bob Birgenau, President, University of Toronto Judy Rodin, President, University of Pennsylvannia Rick Levin, President, Yale University Mary Sue Coleman, President, University of Michigan Marye Ann

  • Remembering Jerry Kenney
    Remembering Jerry Kenney After a long struggle with pulmonary fibrosis, our friend and teammate Jerry Kenney died on June 25, 2019. His passing is an irreparable loss to his family, his business associates, our University and those of us who knew him, loved him, treasured his intelligence, work ethic, courtesy, good humor, strategic, brilliance and modesty. Jerry and I became friends when we were among the more than 100 classmates who turned out for freshman football. As sophomores, Jerry, Bob Kelly and Troy Murray were assigned to Saybrook College. They quickly became part of our extended group of roommates including: Alphe Beane, Steve Callender, Chris Diercks, Bill Flippin, Dave Mawicke, Nelson Neiman, Ty Welles and myself. Jerry was always emblematic of the Thalian notion of a “sound mind in a sound body.” An athlete at Yale, he believed that athletic excellence was central to a university’s academic reputation and alumni support. He wrote a white paper replete with factual evidence to support his belief. Then, typically, he acted by creating endowments for Yale lacrosse and this year, Yale football. Yale’s lacrosse team won the NCAA Division I championship in 2018. 1 After Yale, Jerry and I reconnected in the late 1980s. Jerry had solidified his reputation as “the smartest man on Wall Street”. Despite his lofty position and spectacular financial success, Jerry was always simply “Jerry”. He would immediately answer my calls or, if otherwise occupied, promptly call back. During my infrequent visits to NYC he always had time for lunch. A gracious man, he hosted a roommates’ gathering in New York City.

  • Office O the President
    5/6/2021 David Swensen | Office of the President Office o the President > > > David Swensen Date: Thursday, May 6, 2021 Dear Members of the Yale Community, I write with profound sadness to share the news that David Swensen, Yale’s chief investment ocer, died yesterday evening after a long and courageous battle with cancer. David served our university with distinction. He was an exceptional colleague, a dear friend, and a beloved mentor to many in our community. Future generations will benefit from his dedication, brilliance, and generosity. After receiving his Ph.D. in economics from Yale in 1980, David worked for Salomon Brothers and Lehman Brothers before returning to Yale in 1985 to lead our investments oce. With his guidance, Yale’s endowment yielded returns that established him as a legend among institutional investors. Over the years, he lectured in Yale College and the School of Management. On Monday, he and long- time friend and colleague Dean Takahashi taught the last class of the term for Investment Analysis, a seminar they co-instructed for thirty-five years. David was an incorporator of the Elizabethan Club and a fellow of Berkeley College. In fact, he was a first-year counselor in Berkeley when he was studying for his doctorate at Yale, and he maintained connections with the people he counseled all those decades ago. David’s ideas reverberated beyond Yale as he revolutionized the landscape of institutional investing. His approach, which has become known as the “Yale Model,” is now the standard for many university and foundation endowments. A natural teacher, he prepared a generation of institutional investors who have gone on to lead investment oces at other colleges and universities, further extending the scope of David’s influence.
