Douglas K. Candland Undergraduate Research Fund

The Douglas K. Candland Undergraduate Research Fund was established in 1997 by William Bucknell, Class of 1981, and his wife, Harriet, to honor Professor Candland’s years of service as a teacher, scholar and mentor. The fund is designed to encourage imagination, innovation and the development of problem-solving skills among students majoring in the humanities and social sciences.

  1. The book value reflects the total of gift receipts to the University that support any use restrictions associated with a single pooled endowment fund, including all funds released from life income funds. This value represents the funds used to purchase units in the University’s long-term investment pool.

  2. The market value is initially influenced by gift receipts and continues to change based on the underlying investments, including annual spending that supports each endowment’s use restrictions. Bucknell’s endowment is divided into units, similar to mutual funds. These units are purchased at the end of each calendar quarter and then multiplied by the ending market value per unit of the University’s long-term investment pool.
