My best friend did a grad degree at Cambridge University in England, and has a daughter studying there now. Through him I'm aware that Gates has endowed Cambridge with Gates Scholarships, to rival the famous Rhodes program at Oxford. Apparently, the Gates program has successfully brought a tremendous number of great scholars to Cambridge and created an exciting, creative atmosphere.

"the Gates program has successfully brought a tremendous number of great scholars to Cambridge and created an exciting, creative atmosphere."

It has indeed.
The Queen (on recommendation of the British Government) gave Gates a Knighthood last year for that and other great charitable works by him in Britain.
