...private donation to an institution of higher education in the past 40 years, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Harvard does not rank among the recipients for the 100 largest private donations. Yesterday’s gift also represents a substantial boon for Tufts, which, like Lesley, will funnel the gift into its endowment and use the revenue for a number of programs, including financial aid. The university is also undergoing a capital campaign and plans to develop a new interdisciplinary research lab, which will be named for Doble, that would bring biologists and engineers together, according to Tufts...
