SU’s Sea Gull FundSince 2001, groups of Perdue Schoolpracticum students have managed aninvestment fund for the SalisburyUniversity Foundation, Inc. In that time,the fund has grown from an initialbalance of $286,000 to some $600,000 asof this September. Overall, the Sea GullFund has seen 50.6 percent lifetimegrowth, besting the Standard & Poor’saverage of 48.11 percent over the sametime period, said Dr. Herman Manakyan,who oversees the initiative.

Only about 30 percent of professionalinvestors achieve long-term results thatgood, he noted.

The idea for the project began in1999, when Perdue School alumnusWayne Judkins and his wife, Melissa, alsoan SU graduate, sought to create ascholarship fund for SU students. As asenior trader with Goldman Sachs at thattime, Judkins liked the idea of givingstudents hands-on experience by allowingthem to manage the fund through anexperiential learning course.

Believed to have its roots in thecountry parish music of early 18th-century England, Sacred Harp is aform of rural church singing named afteran 1844 songbook by Benjamin FranklinWhite and Elisha King. In manychurches, the practice is highlyparticipatory among the congregation.

Normally sung in a square dividedinto altos, trebles, tenors and basses,Sacred Harp is based on shaped notesthat relate to syllables in the “do-re-mi”scale. As singers learn the song, theyreplace the syllables with words. Manypopular gospel songs, such as “AmazingGrace” and “How Long, Dear Savior,”began as Sacred Harp songs.
