  • 2005 Financial Report
    2005 Financial Report ABOUT the UNIVERSITY anderbilt University is a privately endowed, coedu- cational, not-for-profit, nonsectarian institution located in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 1873, the University operated under the auspices of the VMethodist Episcopal Church South until 1914. Since that time, it has been governed by an independent, self-perpetuating Board of Trust. The University is named for the shipping and railway magnate Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, who gave one mil- lion dollars to build and endow a university that would “con- tribute to strengthening the ties which should exist between all sections of our common country.” Today, Vanderbilt University is internationally recognized as one of the premier research and teaching universities. Vanderbilt’s undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs rank among the finest in the world. The University’s students— approximately 6,300 undergraduates and more than 5,000 grad- uate and professional students—and its 2,500 full-time faculty and 16,800 staff members work together to support multidisci- plinary study, academic research, and public service. The University also provides health care services through its medical center, which includes Vanderbilt University Hospital, The Vanderbilt Clinic, and the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. The University maintains state-of-the-art facilities on its 330- acre campus. Vanderbilt’s academic enterprise comprises inter- disciplinary programs and centers, as well as ten schools and col- leges—the College of Arts and Science, the Graduate School, the Blair School of Music, the Divinity School, the School of Engineering, the Law School, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the Owen Graduate School of Management, and Peabody College of education and human development.
