Dear Sirs:
As counsel for TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (the "Fund") during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996, we are familiar with the Fund's registration
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and with the registration statement
relating to its Shares of Common Stock (the `Shares") under the Securities Act
of 1933 (File No. 33-73408) (the "Registration Statement"). We have also
examined such other corporate records, agreements, document and instruments as
we deemed appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares sold at the public
offering price and delivered by the Fund against receipt of the net asset
value of the Shares in compliance with the terms of the Registration Statement
and the requirements of applicable law during the Fund's fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996, were, when sold, duly and validly authorized, legally and
validly issued, and fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection with the Notice
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996 to be filed on behalf of the Fund with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ DECHERT PRICE & RHOADS
