The 2000–2001 Annual Donor Report of Emory University With Sincere Thanks From the Senior Vice President for Institutional Advancement or the first time, we have combined the Donor Report and Emory Magazine with the F hope that you will enjoy reading them in tandem. This year’s Donor Report focuses on our past efforts to build Emory into a world-class university and on our plans to continue this tradition and bolster our status among the country’s great institutions. Our physical campus, our student body, and our academic and research programs have grown significantly in recent years, and we proudly salute all of you who have contributed to these achievements. We are grateful for your commitment to Emory’s success and for your understanding of the importance of higher education in a world that has changed so tragically and dramatically in the past year. Through the continu- ing pursuit of knowledge, the myriad cultures of the world can reach a better understanding of, and perhaps show more respect for, each other. It is with great pleasure that we recognize the many splendid donors who have contributed to Emory in the last year, making FY2000–2001 the second-best fund-raising year in our his- tory. With the support of loyal alumni and friends such as you, we will continue the proud work of building Emory into an even more outstanding place of higher learning than it is today. Your unfailing generosity profoundly affects the life of this university and, indeed, the larger world as well. We are deeply grateful to each of you.

It is evident at the corner of North Decatur and Clifton roads, where the steel girders of the Donna and Marvin Schwartz Performing Arts Center have been fleshed out with an underbody of concrete, and on tiny Oxford Road, where the new science building continues to take shape. Further down Clifton Road, the Whitehead research facility is nearly complete.And at the University Apartments complex, now called Emory Clairmont Campus, the vestiges of a small city are rising on a hill that once held encampments of Union soldiers. hese buildings will bear the stamp of Emory’s architectural past, for all are being designed using the master-plan principles that honor Henry THornbostel, Emory’s original architect. The first of these master-plan initiatives is the new Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing building. “Coming together in this facility are the best of our past, our dreams for the future, and our commitment to nursing and its very special place in the acad- emy,” said Emory President William M. Chace at the building’s dedication. At 100,000 square feet, the building is twice the size of the school’s original facility. Its façade boasts elegant pink and gray veined marble accents and a wel- coming plaza that links the school physically and symbolically to its neighbors in the Woodruff Health Sciences Center’s medical-research complex off Clifton Road. he 2000–2001 Annual Donor Report of Emory University he 2000–2001 T 52 The new nursing school can accom- of a university, but Emory continues to modate nearly 700 students from nurs- build in less visible ways, to the better- ing, public health, and medicine.
