Besides academic theories, buildings and students, there is also money to contend with.

Radcliffe is close to finishing its $100 million capital campaign. A party to celebrate the completion of the campaign is scheduled for October.

But Radcliffe has suffered from a lower number of donors in its annual fund drive this year.

Fewer people have made donations, though the actual dollar amount of funds has remained comparable to recent years.

Some hope that Faust will be able to inspire the confidence--and pocketbooks--of alums.
