from VfD: No more than a dictionary definition—Trevor Caira 14:53, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Is this article still considered a stub? Is the VfD discussion still needed in the talk pages? --Techieman 04:48, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I added material that I would like to footnote, but since this is my first ever entry, I am not understanding how to do it. The reference to Lady Margaret is referenced here: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/news/dp/2004110501 The reference to the Lucasian Chair is referenced here: http://lucasianchair.org/lucasianchair.org/brief.html There is information about the first endowed chair in America (Harvard) that I did not include but may be appropriate here: http://www.hds.harvard.edu/history.html
I am hoping that others will contribute additional information on Endowed Chairs if they have it.
One final question, can a link be created so if someone types in the search box "endowed chairs" or "endowed professorships" it takes them right to this space?

How is endowment described in financial statements?Tom Cod (talk) 21:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
The Financial endowment article and College and university endowments in the United States article are almost identical. Is there a need for both? Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 22:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
More needs to be said about how a financial endowment works on interest earnings rather than consuming the principal. Gautam Discuss 17:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Note: Need section about legal structure. (Article is not clear. Is an endowment its own entity type under the law or it is simply a Trust that is designated to endow?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72Dino (talk • contribs) 17:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
The Quasi-endowments section contradicts itself as to whether one can be restricted. --Stfg (talk) 09:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
The article doesn't really say whether endowment is the TOTAL amount accumulated by and available to an institution or the size of donations they get every year. I believe it's the most important aspect of this article. My assumption is that it's the cumulative amount - it's difficult to imagine Harvard University gets 30 billion dollars every year. Is that correct? Could someone please clarify this?
I also believe the definition in the first sentence is wrong. A financial endowment is a NOT transfer of money and/or property donated to an institution. It is that money and/or property already donated and in possession of the institution. BadaBoom (talk) 00:24, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
