This World Wide Web that Al Gore, Jr. created for us is rather informative. It readily-produces the dollar-value of your current endowment.
Further, it also shows that your founder was an abolitionist that liked to talk a great amount. He never actually did anything about those words, but he did talk a lot. Then, he died.
At the end of the day, Vanderbilt...VANDERBILT has been a much more successful institution in accomplishment, status, and wealth of its graduates.
Your Kansas school is rather like any other cow school. Every State has one or more, but they are all (mostly) the same. They let in almost anyone with a pulse and teach the "students" all of the stuff they were too dull to learn in high school. Then, they issue a rather worthless diploma. I actually feel pity for those that have fallen for such deceptions.
Most Sincerely,
A very, very successful Vanderbilt...VANDERBILT graduate that has lots, and lots, and lots of money.
