UM RECEIVES $1 MILLION GIFT The University has received a FROM A. V. DAVIS FOUNDATIONS grant of $1 million from the
Arthur Vining Davis Foundations established by the late Arthur Vining Davis, who died in 1962 at the age of 95. Mr. Davis had been a member of the University's Board of Trustees for nine years prior to his death.
The grant was given UM as an unrestricted gift to the Golden Anniversary Development Program, and was the largest ever received from a local private foundation.
Said Dr. Stanford, “Because Mr. Davis wanted to study medicine in his youth and was deterred from this career by lack of funds, I will propose to our Board of Trustees that this grant be earmarked for the Medical Center."
