press-citizen.com | Local News-Small colleges' alumni give more freely

press-citizen.com | Local News: "WASHINGTON -- Some small liberal arts colleges such as Cornell College are better than state universities like the University of Iowa in getting a higher percentage of alumni to give.

Still, UI raised $102 million last year, more than any other school in the state, a survey released Wednesday shows.

Alumni who attended smaller, private colleges where kinship with classmates and campus lingers long after graduation and philanthropy is a century-old tradition, are generally more willing to give to their alma maters than those at Ivy League schools and large state universities, the survey found."
