2013–2014 ANNUAL REPORT

3WEBB INSTITUTE ANNUAL REPORT

Each time I drive through the gates of Webb, I still feel the same awe and excitement that I experienced some 45 years ago, when I first stepped foot upon the campus.

A M E S S A G E F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T

Reason for Optimism: The Community Gives Back, the Tradition Endures

Only now, my exuberance is

mixed with a heightened sense

of responsibility, commitment

and appreciation. Webb remains

a truly magical place. Those of

us who have benefited so much

from the benevolence of William

H. Webb, and the generosity of

the alumni and friends of Webb

that came before we did, cannot help but respond

in kind. This annual report reconfirms our

sense of community and our tradition of giving

back: the things that make Webb so special.

When William H. Webb expounded upon his

distinctive vision–to provide any young man

who proved “… himself of competent and

good character and worth, free and gratuitous

education in the art and science of the profession

of shipbuilding, both theoretical and practical,”

he established a foundation of core values that

has endured the test of time. Today, Webb

is the only engineering college in the nation

that provides every student with a full tuition

scholarship. The Board of Trustees, faculty, and

administration remain committed to this purpose,

and to doing so in a financially sustainable way.

We have successfully weathered the economic

downturn of 2008. Reaching $59 million by the

end of fiscal year 2014, the Webb endowment

now exceeds its 2008 value. Under the adept

oversight of Webb’s Investment Committee, led

by chairmen Peter Van Dyke and John Couch,

the endowment performance over the last

decade has placed us in the upper quartile when

compared to our peers. This past year was no

exception, with our well-diversified portfolio

realizing an annualized return of 16.3%.

Are we where we want to be? The answer is

no. Our draw on the unrestricted portion of the

endowment still hovers around 7%, well above

our target level of 4.75%. However, there are many

reasons for optimism. We have been prudent in

controlling operational expenses without forsaking

the quality of education. We have minimal debt.

Our endowment is 90% unrestricted, and the

restricted portion of the endowment is principally

directed at providing tuition scholarships and

support for professorships. This enables us to apply

our resources in the most effective way possible.

The Annual Fund is the backbone of our financial

strength. Testimony to the commitment of

our alumni and many friends of Webb, annual

giving covers nearly 20% of overall expenses.

Without this funding stream, the extraordinary

educational experience we provide to each

of our students would not be possible. Thank

you so much for your dedication to Webb!

We are now in the quiet phase of our capital

campaign, “The Campaign for Webb.” If we achieve

our goals–and I have every confidence we will–

our draw rate will be under 5%, and we will have

completed critical infrastructure improvements.

This is truly an exciting time for our Institute. I

am thankful to be given the opportunity to be

part of it, and look forward to working with each

of you to ensure the future of Webb Institute.

Nolan B. Conway ’15 Student, Webb Institute


This year we reverentially celebrated Webb’s

125th anniversary in a three-day weekend of

lectures; discussions; celebratory activities; the

screening of a new video on Webb, produced

by Gary Jobson of ESPN; and the release of a

new book, Webb Institute:125 Years of Excellence,

a compilation of articles illuminating the

college’s history. The development of the

book was led by trustee and alumnus Jay

Carson ’73, under the auspices of a trustee

committee chaired by John Costello ’89.

The Board of Trustees itself expanded and

enhanced its operations this year, and added

an additional full board meeting in March that

is now part of its regular schedule of meetings.

Reaffirming our unwavering dedication to

academic excellence combined with our tuition-

free policy, the board worked with the new

administration to strengthen the foundation

for our capital campaign that has been in

the planning stages for the past couple of

years. This year, the board began to fulfill its

previously reported commitment to finance the

considerable startup costs of the campaign.

After this year, Webb will be the only remaining

engineering college in the nation that provides

every student with a full-tuition scholarship.

Equally important is our ongoing mission to

produce leaders in the naval architecture and

marine engineering professions that remain

crucial to the nation’s defense, to national

security, and to commercial success.

A M E S S A G E F R O M T H E C H A I R M A N O F T H E B O A R D

A Year of Renewal and Recognition

At the same time, Webb’s

sustained commitment to

academic excellence was

widely recognized externally,

culminating in Money

magazine’s comprehensive

new higher education ranking, which placed

Webb second in the nation among “The Best

Colleges for Your Money,” just ahead of MIT,

Princeton, Stanford, and Harvard, respectively.

Like most colleges and universities, Webb is

very proud of its rich history and traditions,

and the attendant pageants are designed

to celebrate those traditions. Among this

year’s most memorable events was the

inauguration of R. Keith Michel as the 15th

president of Webb where, in the midst of

students, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, and

a host of distinguished guests and friends

of Webb, he outlined a singular vision of

the college’s future. At that time we also

welcomed his wife, Peggy, as Webb’s first lady.

After this year, Webb will be the only remaining engineering college in

the nation that provides every student with a full-tuition scholarship.

GEORGE CAMPBELL JR., Ph.D. Chairman of the Board

Academic year 2013-14 can be characterized as a year of renewal, devoted to strengthening Webb Institute’s underpinnings. The new president, R. Keith Michel, dedicated a substantial amount of energy to restructuring the operations and building the strong leadership team he will need to advance the Institute’s ambitious strategic agenda.

A M E SSAGE F ROM T HE A LU M N I A SSOC I AT ION

Webb alumni celebrated Webb’s 125th Anniversary with a very impressive, record-breaking year. Total contributions

in the 2013-14 Webb Alumni Fund (WAF)

amounted to $1,340,857—a 7.6% increase

over the previous year, and 4.4% over our

2013–14 goal. The average gift increased

to $1,730 (up 3.8%), the median gift

increased to $625 from $525, the number

of alumni in the William H. Webb (WHW)

Society (contributors of $1,000 or more)

increased to 345 (from 310), and of those, the number

contributing $10,000 or more increased to 32 (from 27).

Participation of Webb undergrads increased to 73% (from

71%), and the participation of all members of the Webb

Alumni Association (including post-grads, honorary

members, non-graduate members and exchange student

members) increased to 71% (from 69%). We congratulate

all of our Class Agents for this achievement, particularly

those 19 whose classes achieved 100% participation: ’43,

‘44B, ’45, ’49, ’52 ’54, ’55, ’58, ’59, ’60, ’65, ’67, ’69, ’70, ’06, ’07,

’09, ’13 and ’14. We applaud the outstanding participation

of the nine most recent graduating classes (’06 - ’14)—an

awe-inspiring 96.4%.

The Webb Heritage Society, which recognizes those

who have the foresight to provide for Webb in their

estate planning, increased by 12 members in 2013–14.

WEBB INSTITUTE

Leading the way was the Class of 1954 which succeeded in

enrolling all members of the class in the Heritage Society

as part of their celebration of the 60th anniversary of Webb

graduation from Webb. We hope that other classes will

emulate the Class of 1954 and target 100% participation in

the Heritage Society as they reach even earlier milestone

anniversaries. The importance of the Heritage Society

cannot be overstated. In 2013–14, three of the alums who

passed away (Phil Thiel ’43, Bob Mende ’51, and Phil Sims

’71) had included Webb in their estate plans, and when

those estates are settled, Webb expects to realize planned

gifts of approximately $1.3 million.

“Webb Giving Day,” observed on May 16, 2014, was

established with the objective of advancing the date by

which we meet our annual WAF goals (both contribution

amount and participation) to Homecoming weekend,

rather than the end of Webb’s fiscal year (June 30). The

inaugural Giving Day was moderately successful, with

contributions (including matching) reaching 82% of the

financial goal and 51.5% participation, versus 73% of the

financial goal and 43.3% participation as of the same date

the prior year. Our sights are set on reaching 100% of the

financial goal and 75% participation by the next Webb

Giving Day on May 15, 2015.

Of course, the 2013–14 Webb Alumni Fund was just

one of many ways that alums celebrated Webb’s 125th

anniversary. Alums produced and published a new

book, Webb Institute: 125 Years of Excellence, which is

available for purchase through the online Campus

Bookstore. Alums participated in regional 125th

anniversary events held in San Diego, San Francisco,

Seattle, Houston, the Washington DC area, Bristol,

RI, and Newport News. And alums from all over the

country—and from around the world—returned

to Webb for the 125th Anniversary Homecoming

celebration on May 16–18, 2014. There were over

150 attendees for all or part of the festivities that

included a symposium on William H. Webb and the

history of Webb Institute, a Heritage Society dinner, a

performance by the WooFS, a fabulous dinner-dance

featuring a special Stevenson Taylor Hall cake, a

rousing fireworks display, and a brunch cruise on Long

Island Sound. Webbies know how to party and how

to give back, and the 125th Anniversary Homecoming

Celebration demonstrated why Webb has received press

coverage as “America’s Most Loved College,” and was

recently ranked #2 in the nation in Money magazine’s

Best Colleges List.

In touting the success of the 2013-14 Webb Alumni

Fund, many thanks are due to the Board of Trustees’

Development Committee—and especially outgoing

Chair Joe Cuneo ’57—for their leadership and guidance,

our outstanding team of Class Agents and Group

Leaders for maintaining the personal connection

between alums and their alma mater, and the

Development Office staff for their dedication and

support. And most of all, many thanks to each and

every one of the 774 Webb grads, postgraduates, and

honorary alums identified in the pages of this Annual

Report whose generosity perpetuates the legacy of

William H. Webb to provide the bright, eager, and

deserving students of today and future generations an

extraordinary educational opportunity. Congratulations

on a job well done!

Philip J. Sims was born on April 26, 1949 in San Diego, CA. He received a B.S. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, and an M.S. in Naval Architecture from MIT.

Among his many accomplishments were updating

the U.S. Navy’s destroyer-cruiser early-stage

design procedures and design studies for the

CGN 42; the reserve FFX, and the DDX (later

DDG 51) projects, as well as being involved in

the feasibility and preliminary designs for the

DDG 51-Class and many other combatants. He

became team leader on Surface Ship Concept

Formulation (CONFORM) studies of new ships, such

as a heavy combatant and a survivable cruiser.

He was the lead naval architect for the Iowa-

Class battleship modernization and reactivation

program, and then its ship design manager. Later

he participated in the CV(X) and CVN(X) Cost and

Operational Effectiveness Analysis (COEA). He

became the Navy’s expert on command ships, based

on his numerous studies over the decades. Upon

his retirement from NAVSEA in 2009, Phil joined the

staff of CSC Advanced Marine Center, conducting

feasibility studies and preparing guidance

documents on the early-stage ship design process.

He was a big asset to the SNAME Marine

Forensics Panel, with his encyclopedic

knowledge of warship design history and his

skill at comparative naval architecture. Among

other contributions, he published the SNAME

paper titled “Tumblehome Warships,” SNAME

Transactions, 1996. Phil was also a behind-the-

scenes contributor to a number of books about

battleships published by the Naval Institute Press.

His memorial service took place on May 6, 2014, at

the Naval History Museum in Washington, D.C., a

fitting venue for a man who had devoted his entire

professional life to warship design. The ceremony

was orchestrated by Chris Cable, Director, Auxiliary

and Special Mission, Ship Design Division, and

attended by a number of Webb alumni, including

Remembering

PHIL SIMS ’71 A Brilliant Man Leaves a Million-Dollar Legacy at Webb

This story is based in part on the personal accounts of Paul Vibrans ’71,

who wrote about the memorial services for Phil Sims ’71 as well as his

memories of Phil as a Webb student.

some of whom worked with Phil: Mark Bebar

’70, Rich Celotto ’74, and Paul Vibrans ’71.

Phil was a humble man; he lived in a modest

neighborhood and always walked to work when

the Navy design offices were in Crystal City. Phil

wore a jacket and tie at work only for meetings

where they were required. During the memorial

service, one speaker described having to make

Phil flip his jacket collar down and get both

sides of his shirt collar to cover his tie before

appearing on camera for a television production

about Navy ships. That said, he did make sure

that these garments were on a hook on the

back of his office door, always ready to go.

“Phil’s passion and enthusiasm for the industry

were magnetic, and were eclipsed only by his

brilliance and accomplishments throughout his

professional career,” remarked Paul Vibrans ‘71,

one of the speakers at Phil’s memorial service.

“Phil was so excited when he found sheets of

bound blueprints on cloth in Webb Institute’s

attic and insisted I join him immediately–the

blueprints were of the USS Kearsarge, Battleship #5.”

Phil’s expertise made him an extraordinary asset

to both his colleagues and his supervisors. He

had a unique ability to assemble preliminary

designs with remarkable speed and accuracy,

drawing on his vast knowledge of the performance

history of similar ships. He was generous in

sharing his expertise, and one speaker recounted

an instance when he received an instant and

highly technical response from Phil concerning

the description of a gun, what ship it came

from, and what museum it was going to.

Phil had a unique sense of humor that was triggered

when the Navy changed to a universal e-mail

system that had trouble with ambiguity over the

relatively common name “Phil Sims.” One speaker

shared the story of Phil’s dilemma when the

Naval Personnel Office sent multiple, increasingly

heated e-mails about the human resources report

that was fast becoming due and for which they

had no indications of progress. Phil’s e-mail reply

started, “I am just a lowly naval architect…”

“Phil clearly understood and appreciated the

impact Webb Institute had on his personal and

professional life,” said Suzie Hudgens, Phil’s sister.

“He and some of his classmates had a healthy

competition about who would give back more

to Webb. The competitor in Phil, and his love for

Webb, made him quite proud to make an impact

on future generations of Webb students.”

Webb’s President, Keith R. Michel, spoke about just

what that impact involves. “Webb is honored to

be chosen as stewards of Phil’s legacy,” he said. “I

proudly announce that his gift of $1,000,000 will

enable Webb to provide a full-tuition scholarship

and a $2,500 stipend to cover a portion of a

student’s room and board expenses. Beneficiaries

of Phil’s generosity will be acknowledged as

William H. Webb level scholarships ($1 million)

and as Philip J. Sims Memorial Scholars.

This gift helps ensure Webb’s ability to continue the

model of providing full-tuition scholarships for

every student. I know Phil’s generosity will inspire

others to make significant gifts, particularly as we

launch the Campaign for Webb.”

The competitor in Phil, and his love for Webb, made him quite proud to make an impact on future generations of Webb students.

Mr. Sims’ extraordinary generosity was realized in FY 2015, and he will be recognized in the following Annual Report (2014-2015) among Visionary donors of the William H. Webb Society.

“Best ever” was the refrain from the 70 attendees at the annual Heritage Society reception in mid-May. Perfect weather, old

friends, new acquaintances, and comradery from shared experiences. Maybe it was the best ever because it was held in the newly-remodeled President’s house.

President Keith and Peggy, largely with their own labor, removed the wall that divided

the living room from the windows overlooking the Long Island Sound. We needed all

that extra space to accommodate the crowd. Or maybe it was because seven Webb

students acted as catering assistants, and mingled with our alumni and their guests.

The Heritage Society is composed of Webb alumni who have mentioned Webb in their wills,

and others who have used various planned giving instruments to leave a lasting legacy

at Webb. Planned giving will play a vital role in the success of the campaign, as certain

planned gifts, including bequest designations, are eligible for inclusion in the campaign.

The reception was a subset of folks who attended the annual Homecoming weekend. The

sentiment expressed at the reception was that giving back to Webb in one’s will is a reflection

of William Webb’s generosity. Webb’s generosity, of course, is what each of the alumni has

profited from, so it’s a way of paying back

a debt. Those who spoke at the reception

expressed gratitude to William H. Webb, and

to all the subsequent stewards of his gift.

Most people associate planned gifts with retired

folks, but this event demonstrated that even

our youngest alumni have the vision to make

the considerable commitment to Webb in

various ways.

“We are excited that the recognition

provided by Money magazine will

expose Webb Institute to an even

wider audience,” said President R.

Keith Michel. “Webb’s distinctive

approach to undergraduate

education combines a rigorous

engineering curriculum, a highly

motivated and accessible faculty

dedicated to teaching, an industry-

based internship program, and an

intimate campus environment.”

“This ranking,” he adds, “provides

further validation of our program

and our commitment to excellence

in all that we do.”

Nine months in the making, Money's

“Best Colleges” ranks 665 schools

on 17 measures, based on the most

recent research about what really

matters in higher education.

Among its distinctive analyses,

the list:

Provides a more realistic way

to price colleges, taking into

account the complete cost of

a degree rather than costs

for a single year of study;

Is the only ranking to evaluate

which schools add the most

value given the academic and

economic background of the

students who attend; and,

Levels the playing field on majors,

to show whether graduates

of a particular college earn

more (or less) than average,

whether they got degrees in

engineering or English.

The result, says Money senior writer

Kim Clark, who created the rankings

and wrote the accompanying story,

“is a list of colleges—some famous,

some surprising—that, according

to the best data available, provide

real value. College is expensive,

but the highly rated colleges on

our list are the most likely to

do a great job of educating your

student and helping to launch him

or her into a well-paying job."

To develop the new rankings, Money

partnered with Mark Schneider,

former commissioner of the

Department of Education’s National

Center for Education Statistics, and

his company College Measures,

which collects and analyzes data

to drive improvements in higher

ed. Major contributions also came

from Payscale.com, which provided

the earnings data. One of the most

important findings to come out of

the rankings, Schneider notes, is

that you don’t have to pay a lot to

get a high quality education that

really helps in the job market.

“The published price of a college

doesn’t tell you very much about

what you’ll actually pay, or of

students’ later life success,” he says.

“There is zero correlation with most

of our measures.”

M oney reveals its list of “Best Colleges,” a new approach to

ranking colleges that uses unique measures of educational

quality, affordability, and career outcomes to help families find

the right school at the right price. Webb Institute is rated number

two in the nation, and in achieving this rank Webb surpassed

the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, Stanford,

Harvard, and California Institute of Technology, all of which

ranked in the top 10.

Exceptional Program, Incredible SupportWebb Institute’s unique financial model is predicated

upon our ability to attract funds that support our

students, faculty and staff.

Webb is the only full-tuition-scholarship private

undergraduate program of its kind in the country, and it is

critical that we are able to sustain this model for students

who are academically and personally prepared for the

Webb challenge.

From the start Webb Institute has relied

upon its endowment, initially through

funds provided by William H. Webb and

later through the generosity of alumni,

family, and friends. The concept is as

relevant today as it was in 1889, when

William H. Webb established the original

endowment. Webb is supported by a

variety of funds, including endowed

professorships, scholarships, and other

funds designated for various purposes.

We thank each and every member of the

Webb family for making contributions that

support our endowment. Because of your

support, we are able to attract and retain

the finest students and faculty.

T he Webb community is deeply grateful to those families of Webb students

and alumni who provided additional financial support to Webb by generously

contributing to Webb’s 2013–2014 Annual Fund. As shown in the table below, 80%

of the parents of current Webb students donated a total of $123,190 to the Annual

Fund. This figure represents an increase of more than 30% in donations received

from current parents versus in the prior fiscal year. Thanks to the leadership

of Steve Guglielmoni P’12, Webb received an additional $58,658 from parents of

Webb alumni. In addition to these gifts, grandparents of current and past Webb

students were generous contributors. Ongoing financial support from families

demonstrates their continued high regard for the value of the Webb education.

s another year passes, one class of Webbies graduates and another group embarks on

the “Webb Challenge.” The Class of 2018 is the largest on record—28. Our students

began the fall semester with orientation week, which included fun-filled activities

that aimed to bring these new members of the Webb family together. I have no doubt

that the different personalities and intellects will get to know one another and bond

as young pioneers who are about to embark on the journey that Webb has in store for

them. Once classes begin, they will get a taste of the academic rigors that lie ahead.

The demands of the curriculum will no doubt result in comradery of perfect strangers.

Over the course of the years, bonds will be created to last a lifetime. Success stories will

be common among Webbies as they graduate to make immediate and meaningful industry impact.

Webb students do not join the Webb family alone; parents also create a unique partnership to support the

students, including that of the extensive Webb Parents Association network.

It’s an elite group: 189 members of the Webb family who proudly call themselves members of the Heritage Society.

Legacy gifts are the cornerstone upon which Webb was built, and they will continue to play a vital role in Webb’s finances. These thoughtful gifts provide Webb the fiscal strength and security needed for future generations.

The distinctive nature of planned gifts is that they are not intended for today, but rather are forward-thinking, and help sustain Webb well beyond any single donor’s lifetime.

As a small token of our appreciation, we provide each new member of the Heritage Society with a limited edition of William Webb’s Clipper Ship Young America, suitable for framing.

It’s never too early to start thinking about becoming a member; Webb graduates as recent as members of the Class of 2014 have joined Webb’s Heritage Society!

There are many ways to give substantial support to Webb Institute while protecting and enhancing your family’s financial situation.

To learn more about planned giving log on to http://webbinstitute.plannedgiving.org or call our Development Office at (516) 759-2040.

Thank you for your generosity and for making plans that will fortify Webb's future!

WEBB INSTITUTE


It is difficult to believe that a year

has gone by since I last wrote a short

article for the 2012–2013 Annual

Report. Those of you who are

“seasoned” folks of my generation

will understand what I am saying.

In the fall of 2011 I was asked to

chair the Board’s Development

Committee for the second time

during my 32 years as a Board

member. I agreed with a proviso

that I wished to serve for three years to have enough

time to help set the stage for our upcoming capital

campaign, since titled the Campaign for Webb:

America’s Most Unique College. Little did I imagine

that I would be moving on to another role, but it

is with great confidence that I welcome the new

Development Committee chair, Alison Granger,

a driving force in energizing the outstanding

success of the Webb Parents Annual Fund.

As elsewhere noted throughout this report,

2013-2014 was a record year in many aspects

of Webb’s fundraising activities. In addition, a

slight downward trend in percentage of alumni

participation was reversed. All good news. My

thanks to all of you who made that a reality.

During the past year a number of other changes

have occurred. Keith Michel became Webb’s

President, and Anthony Zic joined Webb as

our Director of Development. In the course

of the confusion, I learned that I have been

designated as Chairman of the Capital Campaign

Committee. The old phase “out of the pot and

into the fire” keeps resonating in my mind.

Musical Chairs: Making Changing Roles Work for Webb

There are compelling reasons why we are undertaking these ambitious plans. Early progress

and preliminary indications lead us to believe we can be successful in this crucial effort.

We have been carefully reviewing the scope and

plan for our comprehensive campaign, refining

our case statement, and working to identify

and expand potential philanthropic resources

currently beyond the scope of the Webb family.

Our plans are ambitious. They are also well

considered, and flow from our most recent

strategic plan. There are compelling reasons why

we are undertaking these ambitious plans. Early

progress and preliminary indications lead us to

believe we can be successful in this crucial effort.

Many of you have read or heard about Money

magazine’s recent ranking of America’s colleges.

They ranked Webb number two in the nation,

just ahead of MIT and just behind Babson College.

As long ago as 1949, Webb was described in the

Saturday Evening Post as America’s toughest school.

In 2011 U. S. News & World Report described Webb

as America’s most loved college. These accolades

did not just happen. They are the result of many

years of dedicated effort, adjusting to changing

circumstances, meeting the challenges of an ever

increasing scope of technology development,

and the enduring support of our alumni and

of all the other members of the Webb family.

This kind of recognition should be very

supportive of our efforts, and the entire Webb

community will continue to work to maintain

and enhance the Webb educational experience.

With this background I look forward to being able

to report great success as our campaign develops.

Webb deserves nothing less. We will continue to

strive to provide and be the best in higher

education.

The Webb Every Year

Program (WebbEY) was

established during the

2006-2007 Annual Fund

Campaign. Initially,

this program was

created to acknowledge

alumni donors for their

consecutive years of giving. Eventually,

it was extended to include other

members within our community and

now recognizes family and friends.

Gift amount is irrelevant; our WebbEY

program was created strictly to recognize

our donors’ consistency of support.

In order to attain the status of becoming

a WebbEY, a donor has to contribute to

the Annual Fund for a minimum of five

consecutive years. To show appreciation

to our consecutive giving donors, Webb

Institute now mails a pin along with a

certificate to those in the five, 25 and 50-year

consecutive giving categories. Certificates

are also sent to contributors who are in the

10 and 20-year consecutive giving categories.

Consecutive giving allows Webb to plan for a

future with assurance and to continue to be

recognized as the premier college of naval

architecture and marine engineering. We

wish to thank the following contributors for

their loyalty and generosity and for attaining

the distinct honor of achieving status as a

50, 25, 20, 15, 10 or five-year WebbEY donor.

WEBB INSTITUTE

Webb continues to build its endowment through strong

investment performance and the generous support of our donors. Buoyed by an overall return on investment of 16.3% in FY14, the endowment realized a 7.9% increase in value after accounting for the draw to support operations. The endowment is now over 50% higher than its lowest point following the economic downturn of 2008-2009, with investments totaling $58,009,540. Over 95% of these funds are unrestricted gifts. This high percentage of unrestricted funds is quite unique among institutions of higher learning – a testament to the faith held by Webb donors in the mission and stewardship of the Institute.

As shown in Table 1, Webb’s current year and longer term annualized returns compare favorably with our peers. Our 3, 5 and 10 year average returns lie well above the top quartile returns of endowments for higher education as reported in the 2014 NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments. The Webb Investment Committee provides oversight of our investments. John Couch, former CEO of Alexander and Baldwin and Chairman of CM Capital, serves as chairman of the Investment Committee and Cambridge Associates are our advisors.

As shown in Table 2, Revenue was down $483,770 for the year, primarily due to a reduction in

the receipt of major restricted

and unrestricted gifts. Major gift

totals vary significantly year to

year. Total Revenue & Support

increased to $11,994,956 due to

the strong endowment returns.

Operating expenses including

depreciation declined from

$7,210,896 in FY13 to $6,964,561

in FY14. In FY13, gift revenue

from pledges was written down

by $173,865. After adjustment for

this non-operational expense,

a net reduction in operating

expenses of 1.0% was realized.

Table 3 shows total expenditures

(operating expenditures plus

capital expenditures).

FINANCE & INVESTMENTS FISCAL YEAR 2014 (FY14)


The chart in Figure 1 illustrates the breakdown of operating expenses by function. Instruction (faculty, laboratories, etc.), Academic Support (non-faculty academics, library, etc.), Student Services (student activities, non-tuition scholarships, etc.), and Auxiliary Enterprises (primarily food service) comprised more than 70% of overall expenses. In FY14, 53% of operating expenses were for salary and benefits. Other large expense items included food services (7%), Utilities (5%), Insurance (3%) and Depreciation (8%).

As of June 30, 2014, the line of credit was paid down and Webb’s only liabilities were payables and short term obligations. As shown in Table 4, Webb’s Net Assets grew by 6.5% over FY13.

Notwithstanding the strong investment performance, the draw on our unrestricted investment pool remains at about 7%. A principal goal of the upcoming comprehensive capital campaign is to raise endowment funds to a level that ensures financial sustainability for future generations.
