Although the donation was made almost a year ago, the department waited for "an auspicious occasion" to publicize it, said Department Chair Arthur M. Jaffe, who holds the professorship in mathematics and theoretical science that Clay endowed in 1968.
The investor's gift takes the form of 24 yearly payments of nearly $200,000. Jaffe said the department has already received its first installment of the gift and is using it to support about 10 visiting Soviet mathematical students and scholars.
"It's a lot easier to admit you're not all that knowledgeable in front of a peer counselor, rather than a doctor or a nurse," Jaffe says.
Michelle S. Jaffe '91, co-director of Peer Contraceptive Counselors (PCC), says that because of the high-pressure pace of life at the College, the need for support is especially acute for students dealing with relationships.
Students especially like going to peer counsenling services because of they are not tied to more than a temporary relationship. "You don't have to go back, and no one will ever know you were there," says Jaffe.
