Heres another in 2007 H.E. and Pickens at bottom under hall of fame patron donors. Pickens first and then Rainbolt.

Another one with both of them. Rainbolt is at bottom with $500,000 donation.





New Math- $4.6 Million Equals $18 Million!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's the math of the endowment game as played by the Division of Agriculture as money has poured in to meet the $100 million challenge laid down by T. Boone Pickens- with the clock ticking to zero as controlled by the State of Oklahoma- time ran out at midnight June 30 for a full match of those monies for professorships and chairs that are endowed- with the expectation that once these monies are set in place- they will generate interest that will support various areas of the Division of Agriculture from that point forward- forever(or as close to it as we will ever get in this life)
A total of 14 endowments will meet the combined Pickens and State of Oklahoma double- double. Those gifts totaled $4.588 million dollars- and when they are matched by the Pickens pot of money and then matched again by the State of Oklahoma- those dollars transform into $18.352 million that will support the Division of Agriculture.

Here is the full list that we have as of this point that has been given- we plan on spotlighting these various gifts in the days ahead with Dean Bob Whitson to help tell a little more of the story behind each of these donations:
Oklahoma Wheat Commission/OK Wheat Research Foundation, $300,000 added to existing Chair in Wheat Research
4-H Centennial Professorship, $250,000
First Capitol Bank/Jack & Joyce Stuteville Professorship in Ag Education, $250,000
Advance Foods/S.E. Gilliland Professorship in Microbial Food Safety, $288,550 (more than 2 donors)
AJ and Susan Jacques Chair in Ag Economics, $1,000,000
Dillon & Lois Hodges Professorship in Plant and Soil Sciences, $250,000
Thomas Berry Professorship in Water Research and Management, $250,000
Pollard/P&K Professorship in Agribusiness, $250,000
Nutrients for Life Foundation Professorship of Soil and Food Crop Nutrition, $250,000
Equine Sciences Professorship, $250,000
Meibergen Family Professorship in Plant Breeding, $250,000
OK Farm Credit Professorship in Agricultural Economics, $250,000
George Chiga Animal Science Endowed Professorship, $250,000
H. E. Rainbolt Chair in Ag Finance, $500,000
We have heard that there is perhaps one more in the area of Horticulture- we will be checking on that one which would add another $250,000 to the total for the OSU Division of Agriculture.
