Parsons College Campaign Frames Growth and Worth for Fairfield

The Fairfield community considers a $100,000 local endowment to seed $400,000 from outside sources to double Parsons College’s student body within five years. The piece argues the college’s expansion would boost Fairfield’s economy with $200,000 annual business expenditure and strengthen local banks, endowments, and Jefferson county accommodations. The 1870s context recalls Fairfield’s 1875 pledge of $30,000 despite hard times, emphasizing the college as a vital business proposition and life-or-death choice for the community.
