His manner was that of a man who had made up his mind to ignore outrageous slings and arrows and concentrate on the duties before...

Operating on the rough rule that 90% of most drive proceeds will come from 10% of the donors, schools work on their wealthiest friends first. Early announcements of big gifts often entice other affluent donors to follow suit, although the approach has its hazards.
