i'll save those for the weekend, but i did get an e-mail today from president zimmer announcing the gift of $100 million to the UofC by an alumnus who graduated in the 80s. she did give it anonymously, but how hard can it be to figure out which alumnus has $100 million to give away that graduated just 20 years ago.

Zimmer's letter said it was a "he".

Below is a list of successful alumni who graduated in the 1980's. Not many entrepreneurials (note: Mansueto of Morningstar was '78 - his MBA was '80 but I think by 80's, Zimmer was referring to the College).

Mostly bankers, but there's got to be more

Andrew M. Alper (A.B. 1980, M.B.A., 1981) - President of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, youngest Goldman Sachs partner in company history, trustee of the University of Chicago.

Byron D. Trott (A.B. 1981, M.B.A. 1982) - Vice Chairman of Goldman Sachs.

John P. Amboian (A.B. 1983, M.B.A., 1984) - President of Nuveen Investments.

James A. Cour (M.B.A. 1986) - President and COO of Aastrom Biosciences, Inc.

Brady Dougan (A.B. 1981, M.B.A., 1982) - CEO of Credit Suisse First Boston; CEO-elect of Credit Suisse Group in Zurich (beginning May 2007); youngest CEO on Wall Street (2004).
