School ends campaign St. Timothy's Middle/Hale High School in Raleigh raised $600,000 to pay for a new education building, exceeding its $500,000 goal. Teacher gets chair Ann Overton, a first grade teacher at Ephesus Elementary School in Chapel Hill, is the first recipient of the Phyllis Sockwell Chair for Excellence in Elementary Classroom Teaching. The award, which has an annual cash prize of $1,000 for two years, is given by the Chapel Hill- Carrtxjro Public School Foundation Foundations gets grant The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public School Foundation has received a three-year, $75,000 grant tor train ing teachers and administrations. The grant, from the Mary Whiting Ewing Foundation Inc., will provide training at the Efficacy Institute in Lexington, Mass. Foundation buys TV time The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton, N.J., is paying NBC News $3.5 million tor two hours of prime time that will be devoted to a discussion of health care reform. NBC News will be responsible for the content of the discussion, to air June 21 at 9 p.m. A week before the grant was announced. The Wall Street Journal reported that members of a physi cians' group had criticized the foun dation for making nearly $150 mil lion in grants tor health-care research that supports the founda tion's "liberal agenda favoring man aged care." Harvard raising $2.1 billion Harvard University has set a five- year campaign goal of $2.1 billion in what it says is the largest fundrais ing drive in higher-education history. Pledges so far total $600 million. In addition to supporting faculty, stu dents, facilities and programs, the campaign is designed to help unity the university's diverse schools and programs. Babcock grant questioned The Wall Street Journal, in an editor ial, has questioned grants by a handful of foundations, including the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation in Winston-Salem, to Food & Water. Saying the organiza tion opposes irradiation, the editori al questions Food & Water's scientif ic legitimacy and suggests its foun dation supporters should do a better job of checking out their grantees. Burroughs Wellcome Fund names president The Burroughs Wellcome Fund has named Enriqueta "Queta" C. Bond, executive officer of the Institute of Medicine in Washington, as its new president. The presidency, which has been held by a volunteer presiding over the foundation's board of directors, is being redefined as the founda tion's top executive job. Bond, who begins work July 11, takes over as the Burroughs Wellcome Fund is absorbing a $400 million gift from its sister foundation, the Wellcome Trust in England. That gift, payable over five years starting in 1993, will increase the fund's assets to $500 million and its annual grant-mak ing to $22 million by 1997. The Fund also is spinning itself off from Burroughs Wellcome Co. in Research Triangle Park. Bond has an undergraduate Enriqueta C. "Queta" Bond degree in zool ogy and physi ology from Wellesley College, a masters degree in biology and genetics from the University of Virginia and a doctorate in biology and biochemical genetics from Georgetown University. The Institute of Medicine is a nonprofit operating under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington. Bond succeeds Howard Schaeffer, retired vice president for research, development and medical at Burroughs Wellcome. He will become chairman of the founda tion's board. Martha Peck, the fund's executive director, will con tinue in her position, reporting to Bond.
