Pendleton seeks junior college boost from city
A campaign in Pendleton aims to convert Pendleton Academy into a junior college with a $100,000 endowment. Rev Sharp and Rev Thompson lead with local trustees, the Commercial Association, and business leaders backing plans to end perpetual begging for maintenance. The endowment funds shift risk away from ongoing appeals, with pledges payable after death or later, and six percent interest paid periodically. The plan foresees a $25,000 milestone before binding, spurring city benefits including $25,000 to $60,000 yearly in local spending and student retention. The effort cites Forest Grove, Corvallis, Eugene, and Walla Walla as examples of college-driven growth and notes Bleakney and the board see a strong leader to anchor a lasting institution. The first campaign report is due at tonight’s meeting.
