A Lawrence University graduate has donated $10 million to the school, officials announced Monday.
The anonymous gift is the second largest in the university’s history, after the $16 million gift from an anonymous donor in 2006 for the construction of the Warch Campus Center.
The $10 million future gift will support the college's endowment, including the establishment of a new endowed professorship in Lawrence's conservatory of music. A portion of the gift also will be used to bolster the endowment for Bjorklunden, Lawrence's 425-acre "northern campus" in Door County, with additional funds from the gift designated for campus facilities maintenance and general operations.
