Meanwhile Fordham is almost at three quarters of a million. That's surprising.

Not really. Someone leaves some land in NYC to the school and they hang on to it and don't use it for the school. How do you think GW passed Georgetown in endowment? Land, land, land. GW owns a ton of property throughout DC and Northern Virginia that they don't, or can't use for campus purposes. It isn't cash, but its readily convertible to cash.
