Ask an alum what changed them and they will name a person. Faculty are the institution's memory and its momentum, and the competition for them is real.
Endowed chairs and professorships secure that talent permanently. Development funds give faculty the time and resources to keep their scholarship alive — which is the only way teaching stays alive too.
