Chair’s Comments Two Thoughts for Tomorrow This is the Golden Age of Private Education in California. It may not last, and it is unlikely tuition can increase forever. What is the proper long-term model and how can it be achieved? The Endowment is a major opportunity and a major challenge. Should the BoT consider all alternatives and make this its highest priority?
Chair’s Comments Thank all of you for your tremendous efforts on behalf of the Priory
