The university is raising funds for a chapel which will be named in Butler's honor.

He had watched other universities raise greater sums and thought Albany an outstanding university.

Since 1997, the university has raised nearly $1 billion from individual and corporate donors.

The university recently raised the cap to 40 students from 35, but he often takes 5 to 10 above the limit.

Since 1984, the university has raised more than $55 million.

In its last campaign, which ended in 1990, the university raised $166 million over six years.

The proposal was shelved after universities raised concerns over its costs, but expect it to be brought up again in the future.

So the university has little choice but to raise tuition.

The university raised over $150,000 on this idea alone.

Private universities raised tuitions by 6 percent, itself not an unusual increase in recent years.
