Dear Moderator kindly circulate. RICHEST AMERICAN UNIVERSITY HARVARD PLANS RECORD $6.5-BN FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN Harvard, the richest university in the United States, said it would seek to raise some $6.5 billion in donations to fund new academic initiatives and bolster its financial aid programme. The fund-raising drive by the Cambridge, Massachusetts, institution is the university's biggest and believed to be the most ambitious ever undertaken by a university, ahead of one concluded last year by Stanford University in California that raised $6.2 billion. Harvard unveiled its campaign at an event featuring Bill Gates, who spent three years at the school in the 1970s before dropping out to co-found Microsoft. Gates, who was ranked by Forbes magazine this year as the world's second-richest person behind Mexico's Carlos Slim, joked about his decision to leave the university during a talk before alumni and donors.
