What is Educational Philanthropy in France about?

This document discusses how centuries of educational endowments and philanthropic support for schools in France were liquidated during the French Revolution in the 1790s. It estimates that educational institutions held real estate valued at 50-100 million francs that was confiscated by the state. It also discusses other sources of income like annuities and seigneurial dues that schools lost. Most of the endowed support went to classical colleges rather than other types of schools.
