College happy
with gift from
Kendall Co.
A major gift of land valued
at $127,500 has been presented
to Newberry College by the
Kendall Company, national tex
tile manufacturer which oper
ates two mills in Newberry.
The presentation, an advance
gift to the College’s 1969 Se
cond Century Campaign, was
announced Saturday by Dr.
A.G.D. Wiles, College president,
following a meeting of the Col
lege’s board of trustees earlier
in the week. Kendall Vice Presi
dent and Divisional Manager,
George McQuilkin of Charlotte,
N. C. met with the trustees
and revealed the gift.
The land consists of approx
imately 102 acres located on
the northwest outskirts of the
city, at the intersection of the
Nance Street Extension and 121
by-pass.
The gift, Dr. Wiles said, is
the largest single contribution
to date in the advance gifts
phase of the 1969 Campaign.
General solicitation of funds for
capital and endowment needs is
scheduled to begin early in
1969.
“We are profoundly grateful
to the Kendall Company for
this gift and for its continuing
support of Newberry College,”
the president commented. “Six
years ago the company gave
us similar acreage adjoining
the tract which has just been
presented to the college.”
Both tracts are in a com
mercially expanding area. Part
of the 1962 gift is still in pos
session of the college, but large
portions have been sold for
industrial and commercial de
velopment.
Accompanying McQuilkin in
his visit with Wiles and the
college’s trustees were three
Kendall executives from New
berry: Hart Jordan, manager
of the company’s Oakland
plant, W. H. Tedford, manager
of the Mollohon plant, and H.
E. Wessinger, manager of the
Kendall cotton buying depart
ment.
“We have watched with great
interest and satisfaction the
growth of Newberry College as
a liberal arts institution,” Mc
Quilkin told the trustees, “and
we are delighted to make this
further contribution to the col
lege’s continued progress.”
He indicated that the gift of
land was for the College’s un
restricted use—“yours to sell,
to hold as an investment, or to
develop for college purposes,
as you choose.”
The $127,500 valuation was
established through appraisals
by independent real estate ex
perts.

Christmas concert that he ex
