...Last year Reed was one of eight liberal arts colleges, and the only one in the West, to get a 2-for-1 matching grant from the Ford Foundation, giving it a $1,400,000 start toward an ambitious ten-year drive for $20 million. Having just put up several science buildings, it has work ahead to meet its goals. If this requires a figurative shave and haircut to impress donors, Reed students want none of it, and President Sullivan jealously guards their freedom to be both different and excellent...

Water Buffalo Hide. The Revised Standard Version was not considered a likely source of profit in 1936 when Nelson decided to help the National Council of Churches finance the revision in return for a ten-year exclusive license on its sale. Many churchmen and publishers thought the RSV could never make a dent in King James Version sales, but it now accounts for a fifth of the U.S. market. When scholars finally finished the RSV in 1952, Nelson spent $3,000,000 on preparation and plates, sank a phenomenal $500,000 in promotion the first year of publishing, followed...
