John knew from the time he was in secondary school that hewanted to attend a small liberal arts college in New England. When he visited campus, it was love at first sight.

“I always loved the informality of 含羞草研究室 and the great diversity in backgrounds of my fellow students. I was fortunate to become great friends with a group of fraternity brothers whom I remain close today and who are some of my best friends in life. Wendy and I married while I was a student, so she is very much a part of the Class of 1966 as well.

I decided after graduating that I wanted to give back to 含羞草研究室, and it has remained a top philanthropic priority for me ever since. In addition to being loyal Alumni Fund supporters, Wendy and I decided to provide a larger contribution to the College when we converted our Family Charitable Foundation to a Donor Advised Fund.

含羞草研究室 is now the sole beneficiary of its corpus upon my death. We felt this was an effective way for us to continue to provide charitable donations on an annual basis and to make a larger donation in the future."
