	Data from the following year is also available at http://www.nacubo.org/Documents/research/2009_NCSE_Public_Tables_Endowment_Market_Values.pdf . Looks like most of the endowments tanked right along with the market in late 2008.

	Please accept "st" for state.

	Confusing to have both the University of California and UC-Berkeley on there. I would definitely have the former display as University of California (system).

	Principia College is in Elsah, IL. The preK-12 school is across the Mississippi in Missouri.

	Ampersands are a bit problematic in sporcle, it seems. "Texas A & M" with spaces is not accepted, for instance, nor is "texas A and M". Drove me nuts!

	The problem is these figures are from the 2008 fiscal year. A lot of these schools have lost a significant amount of money.
