Though the stated aims are different, is this incessant fundraising at MUM really any different than that which goes on at any university? How do Stanford and Harvard get their billion dollar endowments? People wake up one day and decide, Gee I guess I'll make a substantial contribution to my alma mater...? Nope- it is the same kind of deluge of mailings, phone calls, fund raising events that occurs at MUM. Kind of a big yawn, dont'cha think?
