The Vanderbilt alumnus' willingness to get in there and give was matched all over the U.S. on a bigger scale than ever last year, says the annual report put out by Manhattan's John Price Jones Co., an organizer of fund-raising drives. Compared with 1960, says Jones, gifts at 50 leading campuses rose last year by a hefty 22%. The 50 schools raised a record $346 million, of which individual donors gave 54% (foundations gave 35%, business 11%). The top beneficiaries:
