Donor Spotlight
WILLIAM R. GOULD
Native son William Gould, born "on the wrong side of University Avenue" in Provo, returned to his home state and his alma mater to bestow a valuable gift to one of the state's most important possessions - the University of Utah. With the inauguration of the William R. and Erlyn J. Gould Endowment in support of the Marriott Library's Utah Science, Engineering, and Medical Archives and the accompanying annual lecture series, the Gould's legacy of service to the public is being preserved and perpetuated well into the future. Read about this year's Gould Lecture.

An endowment is a gift that is invested. The interest generated from this gift supports the designated cause in perpetuity, or for a specified number of years. Only a portion of the interest earned is used to support the endowment's purpose. Excess income is reinvested in the endowment to grow the fund and protect it from inflationary pressures. Thus, endowments provide perpetual support that strengthens the vitality of the University of Utah far into the future.
