College Receives $3 Million Bequest
April 22, 2004
Westmont has received a $3 million gift from the estate of a former professor and his wife.
Dr. Kenneth Monroe, who died in 1987, and his wife, Peggy, who died in February of this year, left assets of more than $3 million to the college. The money will fund scholarships for Monroe Scholars, up to four exceptional students who receive full-tuition assistance each year. The bequest will also create a new endowed chair in a discipline to be named.
